Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Kinnitty Castle, the celebrity haunt, is close to the picturesque village of Kinnitty, Co. Offaly set beautifully against a backdrop of the Slieve Bloom Mountains and is in Ireland's only designated Environment Park. The Castle has a long and turbulent history. Dating originally from 1209, Kinnitty was destroyed and rebuilt not once but twice and yet it retains character and oozes charm. Kinnitty even has its own ghost - a monk, no less! Kinnity is in a great location only 90 minutes from Dublin and is a great stop off point for journeys west or southwards. It is an exceptional place for lovers of good food and the great outdoors. ... more less

“Worth staying here.”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

The Kinnitty Castle was a treat to visit. It was originally built in 1209 but destroyed and rebuilt several times over the years. It has modern amenities while still having the old atmosphere feel. The staff were very friendly. It has a nice bar also. It's location is in the middle of nowhere but it is good for those who... More

“Nice, pricey, small rooms”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

I found the room quite small and the furniture was too bulky and didn't fit properly. I found we were constantly moving the chair to see ourselves in the mirror, or the table had to be moved to allow us to use the ironing board we got from reception. It was very pokey, and a bit disappointing considering the price.... More

We arrived at Kinnitty Castle after 9 days on the road in Ireland and were more than ready for a little style and comfort, and the one thing Kinnitty can deliver is style. It's an old building, 'Since 1209', the hotel boasts, and it looks like a castle with the front entrance up a short flight of stairs overlooked by... More
