Eileen and Anthony are amazing hosts! Our time was short and fast paced so coming home to a castle every night was wonderful. Everything we needed was ready and waiting for us. The kitchen is grand and the grounds just immaculate. I could live my days at Killaghy and spend my nights at TJ Macs in Mullinahone as long as I was blessed to be on this earth. Do not pass up the chance to live like royalty!
We had a large family group traveling together and Killaghy Castle was great for us. The host was available and communicative when we had questions
We had a great time. Kids had a ball. Definitely recommend. Eileen’s communication was super.–
We had a wonderful stay at Kilaghy Castle. Our whole family spent the Easter weekend there. It was very exciting to watch the do their Easter Egg Hunt in the Castle. As a large family it was also great to find a venue that could comfortably fit us all. Eileen was a great host.
We had an amazing stay, big group of us (14) and there was so much space for us all. It was a perfect weekend away. Eileen was a great hostess and was quick to help us if we had any trouble or questions throughout our stay. We would 100% recommend Killaghy Castle for anyone looking for a lovely stay in a fabulous location. Thank you again Eileen!
Myself and 15 of my friends stayed in this castle and it was gorgeous. The castle was very clean and well kept, all the beds were very comfy and showers were great. The kitchen was big and accommodating and there was a lovely big back garden to enjoy. I would definitely stay again.
If you want to get away from the city life with friends/family, I couldn’t recommend staying in Killaghy Castle enough. We had a group of 14 people and there was more than enough space for us all. Slievenamon mountain is only a 20 min drive away which is a great activity if you enjoy walking up mountains. Mullinahone vilage is a short walk from the castle where there is a shop if you need anything. Eileen is very responsive to any questions you may have and we would stay definitely stay in Killaghy Castle again
