I would definitely say Ballyseede Castle has the wow factor,especially as you come up the drive. My daughter and husband were married and held their reception in Ballyseede Castle at the beginning of April. It was a wonderful day, from the ceremony in the beautiful stone room, through to the sing song in the residents bar. The service, and the... More

Beautiful place and grounds. The nicest and most helpful staff I experienced on my trip in Ireland. Pub in the hotel is nice. It is an actual castle hotel. Not one made to look like a castle. The shelves in the pub are the actual library shelves from castle times.

This was our second castle stay, and this met our expectations of what staying in a castle would be. Upon arrival, we got escorted to the reception desk by Mr. Higgins and Einstein, the hotel mascots. Our intention was to check in and then head into town for some dinner. When we arrived, we decided to get food in the... More

Granted we have another few stops, this undoubtedly our best stay so far, and is likely to be for the whole trip. The hotel is beautiful, the staff goes the extra mile in every way, the food is very good... A+ all around. The first night, my wife was a bit ill and left dinner early. We were offered room... More

Ballyseed was our 3rd night in Ireland. It was an ok experience. Our room was on the lower floor and there was a musty smell. The room was clean and the furniture was nice. The bathroom was a large size but no bathtub. The web page is really good at not providing bathroom details or descriptions. This was the only... More

We stayed two nights at Ballyseede Castle at the end of April 2013. It was very neat to be able to stay in a real castle on our trip to Ireland. Our room was huge and the bed was SO comfortable. It was worth the money. We did not eat at the castle - it was a little too "stuffy"... More

Ballyseede is an enchanted castle. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Dinner in the dining room was exceptionally good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel for a truly memorable experience in Tralee.

We stayed here just for one night (unfortunately), and it was one of the best hotels we've every visited. Everything about it was top-shelf, starting with the beautiful grounds, the lovely staff, the gorgeous decor and the sumptuous room. We arranged for dinner at the hotel (reservations required), which we don't usually do, and we were very happy we did,... More

I loved this place!!! From the massive dog to fabulous staff and gorgeous food. I loved the four poster bed. I felt like a princess. A very special place to stay. The only problem I had was that we didn't stay long enough.
