Relaxation at Its Finest

The thermal spa at Kilronan Castle is simply amazing. I treated myself to an Indian Head Massage and a facial, which were both good experiences. I felt renewed and rejuvenated afterward, and the serene atmosphere made it all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone to indulge in the spa services during their stay.

Dining Indulgence

I had dinner at the Douglas Hyde restaurant, and it was a amazing dining experience. The 5-course tasting menu was exquisite, with delicious options like wood pigeon and john dory. The attentive service added to the elegance of the meal. It was hands down the best dining experience I’ve ever had.

Stunning Bathroom Experience

The bathroom in our suite felt like a lavish spa. With a separate free-standing bathtub and a luxurious walk-in shower, I could relax for hours. The high-quality toiletries added a touch of elegance to my daily routine, making it one of the highlights of my stay.

We had a mixed experience during our stay at the hotel. While the dining options were exceptional with some of the best meals I've had, the service was inconsistent and at times felt uncomfortable. The spa facilities were good, but the treatment details could have been communicated better. Overall, the hotel has beautiful grounds and a lovely view of the lake, but some aspects could use improvement.

Kilronan Castle is a truly enchanting hotel with fantastic dining and a charming festive atmosphere, especially around Christmas. The staff are genuinely warm and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. However, arriving on a busy weekend can lead to some service delays and crowded areas in the bar, particularly if you're trying to enjoy dinner. The leisure facilities are lovely, but the pool can feel a bit cramped during busy times.
