Vacation like Royalty
We had a reunion of 7 couples that worked together in the UK at Killaghy Castle. It is a true castle and is steeped in history. The property is very comfortable with 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Three bathrooms are en suite and 2 are “communal.” The dine in kitchen is very large and equipped with a five burner stove, double oven, 2 refrigerator/freezers, 2 microwaves, and more plates/bowls/cutlery than you can ever huge. There is a wonderful sitting room with a great fireplace and a formal dining room that will seat 16 comfortably. The village of Mullinahone is small but wonderful and you are equidistant from both Kilkenney and Clonmel which are worth visiting. T j Macs bar is a 10 minute walk and the owner, T J, can take care of all of your needs plus it is a wonderful pub. The castle owners Pat and Mary are a delight. Their daughter Eileen is the property manager, she is super responsive and pretty much immediately took care of all of our requests. We had a lovely time. I highly recommend Killaghy castle as a destination for group gatherings.

Four Generations Under One Roof
What a great way to experience Ireland with our four generations of family from ages 1-91, all staying under one roof in Killaghy Castle. It suited us all with many bedrooms and baths, large living room and dining room and a very functional kitchen. The beautiful back garden and deck was the perfect place to unwind after our daytime excursions. Our host provided us with cribs and high chairs as well as some indoor and out door games for the kids, there was even a playground close by which we visited daily. Mullinahone was the perfect small town vibe as well, with TJ Macs the pub in walking distance, O'Briens the butcher and two local grocers. We also attended mass twice and felt like locals, getting coffees at the Brewhouse close by. We did day trips to Portmarnock for Golf, Kilkenny for the Castle and Smithwicks, Cliffs of Moher by boat in Doolin, and Waterford for shopping. The best was coming back to the Killaghy Castle, relaxing out back at sunset, or snuggling into the living room with a warm fire to talk out all of our Irish adventures.

We loved the Castle!
My brothers family and I spent 5days exploring Ireland and Killaghy Castle and Mullinahone was our home sweet home away from home. The castle was quaint and quiet with LOTS of room for multiple families and couples. We spent the first day after travel just laying in the grass in the garden and relaxing… sounds like a movie right! Mullinahone is conveniently 2-2.5hrs or less from Dublin, Galway, Cliffs of Moher and others. Even closer are Waterford, Cork, Limerick and Kilkenny. See them all! Staying nearby we went to TJ Macs Pub in town and drove over to Thatch in Cloneen for drinks and stories, great little pubs with great owners! We even caught some local Hurling! If you’re looking for a quiet place or centrally located place to stay OR if you want to tell friends and family you stayed at a castle for a week, even better ☺️🇮🇪 Thank you!

Great home base for a family reunion
Killaghy Castle, and the adjacent town of Mullinahone, was the perfect gathering place for our family that ranged in age from 10 to 89. We were warmly welcomed and offered many suggestions to help make our week extra special. A favorite memory was waking up one day to the field in front of the house filled with gentle, grazing cows. All in all, a special time for our family. Thank you Eileen! Thank you Pat!

Classic Irish Beauty
We had 16 family members from 9yo to 69yo and all found the castle home amazing. Pat and Eileen were very responsive and understanding of the "Americans" that couldn't figure out how to operate the European showers. Haha. The property has classic Irish beauty with beautiful flowers and large fields of green, green grass. The living spaces are expansive and very accommodating for our large group to be together and enjoy our family time. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable, though the WIFI is spotty in some of the bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped (2 refrigerators!) and the hosts even provided a bag of ice for us Americans. Lots of extras included as well, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, bottled water (though the tap water was delicious), extra TP, plenty of towels and even face cloths. The washers and dryer was an added plus as most of the group had been in country for several days. We enjoyed the short walk into town and several evenings at T. J. Mac's Irish pub. T.J. is an amazing host at his pub and very accommodating with the children in the group. It is a great central location to explore SE Ireland and we enjoyed the short drives to the Rock of Cashel, Cahir Castle and several trips to Kilkenny. After our longer drives to Blarney, Kinsale and the Cliff of Moher we were welcomed home to Killaghy Castle with open arms. Obviously the hosts put much thought and concern into their guest comfort and needs. It was much appreciated by our group.

Staying at an Irish Castle
We truly got the feel of the Irish countryside by staying here. It is very rural but was a great center point for us as we traveled to different towns and castles in the are. The home accommodated our large family of adult children and grandchildren. Loved the backyard for several pick up soccer games! Anthony and Eileen were very responsive to questions. Great place to stay with a large group or family.

Wonderful Retreat!
We had an amazing time at this awesome castle with comfortable accommodations for our large group of family and friends ranging in age from 25 to 82 years old! We had an awesome time getting to know many Mullinahone locals, loved the local pub write down the street, loved the area (several local hiking spots and many other day trip options from biking, to several historical sites) ... so much to do and such a beautiful setting. Also hired a chef for a birthday dinner at the castle! Amazing time! GPS was a little wonky getting to the castle ... but a quick call to the Host squared us away!

Texans live Royally
Eileen and Anthony are amazing hosts! Our time was short and fast paced so coming home to a castle every night was wonderful. Everything we needed was ready and waiting for us. The kitchen is grand and the grounds just immaculate. I could live my days at Killaghy and spend my nights at TJ Macs in Mullinahone as long as I was blessed to be on this earth. Do not pass up the chance to live like royalty!

Family Time
Our party of 14 + dog had a fantastic stay in your beautiful property. The check in process was really simple. The provision of homemade scones and jam made us feel immediately welcome. Property was large with very comfortable beds, bathrooms, a large sitting room, dining room and kitchen. All necessities provided. The outdoor space was amazing, beautiful walled garden and patio with seating and barbecue. We were so lucky with the weather and dined outside on 3/4nights. Great playground at the grand entrance. Lots to do within an hour’s drive. In conclusion a wonderful stay for our family reunion to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

Magical! Exactly what we needed!
A group of friends went to Mullinahone to celebrate my 50th birthday. I couldn't imagine a better place to relax. The castle was fabulous. Plenty of space. Very comfortable. Wonderful kitchen. Beautiful scenery. The town was just as welcoming. We spent each evening enjoying the hospitality of TJ Mac's Pub and then took the short walk back to the castle. Everyone in the town was so kind and went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome. I hated to leave!!!! I can't say enough nice things about the accommodations and the residents of this amazing Irish community. Thank you thank you thank you for making my birthday so special!!!

The Most Incredible Stay!
We arrived after an overnight flight, and several hours of driving to find a fire laid and wine on the table. We traveled with my mom, a friend, my adult son, and my teen daughter. Our plan was a small vow renewal in the foyer, but as luck would have it, there was an absolutely beautiful walled garden with beautiful greenery and an immense pine tree. Our local friends couldn't resist a stay and we ended up with a full house. My friends loved the huge kitchen, it was the perfect location to laugh and host everyone. We snuggled into the front room with a fire on multiple nights. We had a grand time exploring the area and can't say enough about the home, area, hosts, neighbors...just everything. We are completely in love with Ireland. Also, my husband has become a bird lover in just five days.

Killaghy Castle A+++++!
We had a family group of 12 adults and 6 children. Everyone loved the castle! It was so beautiful and so comfortable, everyone felt right at home. We traveled a lot during our stay and took a day to decompress and relax at the castle. Everyone thought that was one of the highest points. The walled garden was perfect for the kids to kick around a soccer ball while we grilled out. Maria was available but we had everything we needed to make for a dynamite stay. Thank you , Maria, again for everything especially for arranging our don’s birthday cake.

Best ever
We had an excellent time at the castle! It is so spacious we were never in each other’s way and we had 20 related and unrelated individuals there! It is lovely but not so upscale that you’re afraid to sit down or touch anything- it felt like home. We made dinner each night - it was a very workable kitchen- Edward Obrien the butcher in town could not have been nicer! The best part for us was we could be in an historic building in a fairly damp country in the spring and not one of my highly allergic guests had a bit of trouble- I’m was so pleased! I could not recommend this stay more- thanks!
