Ballyseede Castle: The Regal Experience in the Heart of Kerry
Ballyseede Castle is an authentic and majestic Irish fortress, dating back to the 16th century, set in 30 acres of lush woodlands in the heart of County Kerry. This family-run hotel offers a regal stay experience, combining historical charm with personalized, modern service.
Rooms and Suites with Historical Elegance
The 40 rooms and suites are individually decorated with meticulous attention to detail, featuring luxurious fabrics and antique furnishings that evoke the castle's history. Many offer enchanting views of the surrounding parkland, ensuring a peaceful and opulent retreat typical of a noble residence.
Refined, Traditional Cuisine
The O'Connell Restaurant is renowned for its contemporary Irish cuisine, focused on using fresh, local produce from Kerry. From formal dinner to afternoon tea in the drawing room, the gastronomic offering celebrates authentic flavours in an elegant and welcoming atmosphere.
A Sanctuary in Green Woodland
The Ballyseede grounds are a true natural sanctuary, ideal for relaxing walks. The ancient parkland hosts local wildlife and provides a sense of seclusion and peace, while still being a strategic starting point for exploring the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula.
Opulent Drawing Rooms and Warm Welcome

His Opinion: Malgré la chambre située dans la loge et non dans le château en lui-même, nous avons pu profiter pleinement du cadre et des pièces du château. Ce fut parfait. Nous avons dégusté des Wiskey Irlandais au bar et profité d'un excellent petit déjeuner (les meilleurs oeufs Bénédicte) !
