South West Ireland Golf Limited

Stayed at this hotel recently off the back of a Rory's Travel Club deal. I unfourtunately have to say that we did not enjoy our stay here. The rooms were fine, spacious and the bathroom did look nice. However, I did not enjoy the service from the restaurant staff. We almost felt like we were not treated equally. I know this is a strong statement to make, but it can be very clear sometimes. I'm referring to social class here to be very clear. The hotel may claim that they cater to everyone, but I feel like there is a certain clientele that they would prefer stay at their hotels. This is fair enough. The only exception to this was the elderly gentleman who worked in the hotel. Breakfast, we were treated very bluntly by a member of staff. This staff member informed us quite bluntly that it was one food item and not more than this. We have stayed at 4/5 star hotels before in Ireland (Kilronan, Lyrath) and were felt like we belonged there due to how staff treated us. Unfourtunately, we would not stay here again.

We stayed here a couple years ago and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. Joe from the waitstaff took great care of us and made us feel incredibly welcome. He even went out of his way to show us the ceremony/reception space for weddings on the property. It was beautiful! The food was outstanding - I still have dreams about the beef cheek dish I had for dinner. Also loved the fact that there is a walking trail on the property. I can't wait to come back!

After viewing a few venues before, we knew from the moment we arrived at Ballyseede Castle that this was where we wanted to get married. The venue is absolutely stunning, but what truly made it exceptional was the staff. From our first tour to planning the final details, they were incredible. The bridal suite where we got ready was massive and beautiful, which made the morning feel so relaxed and special. The Belfry, where we had our ceremony, was also amazing and created the perfect setting. They made sure both we and our guests were having an amazing time, and the entire day ran like clockwork. They worked with all our vendors so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Many of our guests also told us it was the best wedding dinner they had ever had. We can’t thank the team enough, and we will definitely be back for a visit in the future. To anyone considering booking Ballyseede, you won’t regret it.

We had a beautiful experience in Ballyseedy Castle. It's luxurious without being stuffy. It feels like home from the first arrival. Cosy rooms, good food, friendly staff. Nice to see the Gideon Bible in the room. And of course the very chilled doggy's. Highly recommended.

Ballyseede Castle Hotel was one of the highlights of our wonderful trip to Ireland. We stayed for 2 nights and I wish our stay could have been longer. Our room and ensuite was beautiful and it had such nice amenities. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. For our first night's stay, we had a delicious meal in their formal dining room and we were treated like royalty. And we had a lovely view while we enjoyed our dinner too! Balleseede Castle has so many beautiful sites to visit that are close by - we enjoyed the Ring of Kerry and then returned weary and worn out and enjoyed having a low key dinner at the castle before turning in for our 2nd night's stay. During our last breakfast, we thoroughly enjoyed talking with Doreen - she was a delight and gave such top tier service! And to top it off, we got to meet Dolan, which is their youngest Irish Wolfhound. He was so sweet! Thanks to all the Staff at Ballyseede Castle - we will never forget our lovely stay on October 7-8, 2025. And we hope we can return some day. Joe and Jeanette (Ohio USA)
