In the foothills of County Offaly’s Slieve Bloom Mountains, the 4 star Kinnity Castle Hotel is surrounded by 650 acres of parkland. and has over seven centuries of Irish history to its name.
As is the case with the vast majority of castle hotels, the current building was built much later, in this case the early 18th century on the site of the previous castle.
The interior design is generally careful and thoughtful at Kinnity, especially the bedrooms (check them out here) and it does feel more historic than most.
The castle is quite large but there are only 37 guest rooms. Much of the place then is common space, and there’s a lot of it to explore, and that’s not even mentioning the vast estate outside, most of it wild park and woodland.
The Dungeon Bar, The Sli Dala Restaurant and the Drawing Room are the main common areas and they all have lots of old world character.
Other facilities at Kinnitty include tennis courts, archery, horse riding, woodland hikes and bike trails.
Some Guest Reviews:
“It’s a really lovely experience staying in a castle. Gorgeous location with walks, mountain bike trails and more. Our room was lovely, very comfy bed. Staff were fantastic, food in the Dungeon bar was excellent, and overall it was great value for money…..”
“We loved our stay at Kinnitty Castle! I wish it had been longer and the weather a little more cooperative. The grounds were lovely but we didn’t get to walk around as much as we would have liked. The staff were very kind and helpful. The rooms were amazing. The food was very good as well!….”
