Really good Spa Experience

I had the pleasure of visiting the spa at Kilronan Castle, and it was absolutely fantastic. The thermal suite was very clean and quiet, providing the perfect atmosphere to relax. My full-body massage was out of this world, and I truly felt like a new person afterward. I can't recommend this spa enough for a soothing getaway!

Delicious Dining Experience

Dining at Kilronan Castle was a good experience. I tried the two-course meal, and let me tell you, every part was delicious! The food was fresh and perfectly prepared. A must-try is the chicken caesar salad; it's one of the best I've ever had. I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere in the restaurant, making the dining experience nice.

Luxurious Room Comfort

My stay in one of the Castle Suites was truly magnificent. The room itself was spacious and beautifully decorated, providing a sense of luxury. The bed was so comfortable that I had trouble leaving it each morning. It was a perfect retreat for relaxation, and the attention to detail in the room design was evident.

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.
