Moved out and left a pair of shoes in the closet. I contacted the property a day after but they are unresponsive. A bit of a disappointment. Of the 30 acres little but around the buildings is usable to guests and having been in the hospitality industry I found the grounds around the parking were unkept and views of dumped flowers of past weddings, tarps and equipment in woods immediate to parking. Though exquisite in public space, no art in the room. Rooms lacking in furnishings and poor lighting design. Don’t mean to discourage travelers who wish the experience of staying in the Ballyseede but found it to be more of a high end and refined event location. The staff and services were excellent and while staying attentive and responsive.

Ballyseede Castle was so fun to stay at. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They even let our 7 year old feed the pony's and donkey's onsite. She loved it! Our rooms were unique and adorable. Would stay here again and recommend it to others!

Did not expect a wedding to be taking place on the day we arrived (a Thursday). Couldn’t enjoy the lovely grounds amongst all the wedding guests. Would ask next time.

First time ever staying in a castle. It was beautiful and loved our room. The grounds are beautiful as well. The food was all very delicious and if we ever make it back to Ireland I would stay here again.
