My husband and I had our wedding reception at this wonderful hotel at the end of this summer. Despite the rain it couldn't have been a better day. We had spent months and months searching for a venue that we loved and had almost given up hope when someone we knew recommended Ballyseede Castle. Being form West Cork neither of... more

I went to the Ballyseede castle in December and the place was magical. It looked so magical in December with all of the christmas lights on. The staff are very helpful and were happy to give us a tour of the whole castle. The grounds are very well maintained and there is a lovely cozy bar with a beautiful wooden... more

A belated thank you to Ballyseede for making our wedding celebration an unforgettable, amazing experience. In fact, all of our guests (who had at least 20 of the 23 rooms available) exalted the forward-leaning, friendly and helpful staff. Three months later, every single one of our guests is still commenting on the incredible food and wine served at the reception,... more

Castle was Ok,Beds were very hard.If you plan to stay on a Friday and Saturday night it gets a little loud due to the dining downstairs,it subsides about 1:00 a.m. Good area to stay for sightseeing,Breakfast was just Danish and cheese and cold cereal.Loved the two dogs.No Internet access unless you wanted to pay for it.I was suprised that there... more

This hotel was amazing! It is not possible to say anything negative about Ballyseede Castle. The feeling you get walking in the door is the beginning to a fabulous stay, the decor matches the building to perfection, the staff treat each guest like royalty, the food in the restaurant could actually be served to royalty and likewise the breakfast-compliments to... more

I don't know what other people experienced that wrote the poor reviews, but as far as I'm concerned they just wanted someone to vent too. This Castle is wonderful! I am planning on returning to Ireland again JUST FOR THIS PLACE! The Castle only has 23 rooms which means you won't have a million people trapsing in and out and... more

Driving up to this castle was great! It is very elegant and mysterious with the dark grey stone structure and vines climbing up the front of the castle. We were warmly greeted and shown to our room. The main floor is decorated as if royalty still visited, with a sitting room, entrance (including fireplace), restaurant and wonderful little pub. Our... more

Ballyseede Castle was exactly what I wanted for my friend's birthday. The staff was very gracious and the dogs, Arthur and Einstein, were wonderful. The only drawback was the internet was only available in the downstairs lobby and you had to pay by the minute with a very slow connection. We had a wonderful dinner in the pub and breakfast... more

I was with my wife and her parents. It was cold and raining when we arrived, very late our first night. Nonetheless we were treated very warmly and greeted by a big friendly Irish Wolfhound named Arthur resting near the fireplace. Our rooms were large, clean, and well appointed with excellent toiletries, and luxurious feeling towels and bathrobes. The staff... more
