For your stay, we suggest you vary your evening meals. Experience the formality of the dining room on one night, then opt for a more relaxed setting in the castle's bar the next. If you are able, secure a room in the older section of the castle; it possesses a particular feel the newer additions cannot quite replicate.
Kilkea sits forty minutes outside Dublin, close enough for easy access yet distant enough to deliver a real retreat. This allows you a surprisingly peaceful week, a quiet period we often seek out.
