The photos don’t do Kilkea...

Liked: Superb attention to detail, made us feel special and personally appreciated, despite the castle being full. All the touch points were elegant and comfortable. The spa was delightful and a perfect way to end a two week honeymoon. Wish I golfed!
Disliked: Having to leave. Honestly this is the best hospitality experience I have had in 4 years.
