The Kinnitty Castle was a treat to visit. It was originally built in 1209 but destroyed and rebuilt several times over the years. It has modern amenities while still having the old atmosphere feel. The staff were very friendly. It has a nice bar also. It's location is in the middle of nowhere but it is good for those who... More

I found the room quite small and the furniture was too bulky and didn't fit properly. I found we were constantly moving the chair to see ourselves in the mirror, or the table had to be moved to allow us to use the ironing board we got from reception. It was very pokey, and a bit disappointing considering the price.... More

Kinnitty Castle hotel has a real castle feeling and very affordable. Unlike others in Ireland this one is truly a very old monastery/castle with furnishings and artwork that make it feel authentic. The staff is very welcoming, helpful, formal, and efficient. The rooms are all very different and unique but very comfortable. Beds are great, rooms well heated, coffee and... More

We arrived at Kinnitty Castle after 9 days on the road in Ireland and were more than ready for a little style and comfort, and the one thing Kinnitty can deliver is style.

We booked from an online deal and had high expectations. The Castle is nice, but housekeeping standards are extremely poor. The room was huge with a fabulous big bed, but the room looked totally disorganised. It looked as if they had scattered huge wardrobes and dressers around the room, some of which had definitely seen better days. The bathroom wasn't... More

Kinnitty Castle, the celebrity haunt, is close to the picturesque village of Kinnitty, Co. Offaly set beautifully against a backdrop of the Slieve Bloom Mountains and is in Ireland's only designated Environment Park. The Castle has a long and turbulent history. Dating originally from 1209, Kinnitty was destroyed and rebuilt not once but twice and yet it retains character and oozes charm. Kinnitty even has its own ghost - a monk, no less! Kinnity is in a great location only 90 minutes from Dublin and is a great stop off point for journeys west or southwards.
