The Swan Hotellit

”This was a great place! The car park was around the back of the building with plenty of spaces. The room was clean and well maintained and the bed was comfortable. We ate in the bar restaurant and the food was delicious. Our waiter, John, gave us excellent advice on things to see and do in the area and Trish, one of the managers, went above and beyond with hospitality. I’d definitely stay here again.”

”Close to town of Carlow”

”Good location, great parking facilities. I have stayed a number of times at your hotel and always enjoy the good atmosphere and facilities of your hotel. My room was double booked due to an error with the third party reservations company, the male receptionist on check in on the evening of the 21st June 2026 was not that helpful when I explained the situation to him, he treated me as if I was of artificial intelligence but I have to thank the receptionist at check out (Natalia) when I brought...

”Really had a very comfortable stay. Room was comfy and a good size. The staff were incredibly helpful and the hotel passed my 'plumbing test'. The shower was fantastic.”

”Basic but functional room. Check in was fine but a man of few words.”

”This is one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed in my life. If you’re looking for a bucket list experience I highly recommend staying here. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. Plenty of things to do and there’s also spots to eat. I cannot recommend Kilkea Castle enough.”

”Kilkea Castle was a wonderful stay. Last minute we booked a room in the Lodges; unfortunately, the actual Castle was all booked up. This didn’t lessen the experience though. The lodge room was clean, comfortable, well-appointed and had a fairway view. We were also able to use the facilities in the castle itself. We weren’t there to golf and that was just as well as the course was closed for maintenance. As a golfer the course did look like a premium course, and I’d love to go back for...

”Sehr sauberes Zimmer, Matty ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, sofort zur Stelle bei Fragen. Absolutes Muss, wenn man in der Gegend ist. Man bekommt sogar ein Freigetränk im hauseigenen Pub. Ausgezeichnet, sehr gerne wieder!”

”We had a lovely weekend at the Heritage, it was our 2nd year anniversary, the staff were all so friendly, in particular a blonde manager of Seven Bar, I think her name is Kate but I can't be sure. She went out of her way to look after us and all customers on the two nights we were there, she was a credit to your hotel. The Blooms bar was a nice unexpected surprise. The only unfortunate critique I would have to advise on, was the bathroom and pool surfaces, although signs in places they are very...

”Pleasant enough stay. Very helpful staff and great breakfast. Quiet surroundings. Needs a little bit renovation, but otherwise recommended.”

”Clean, newly renovated rooms. Very friendly staff. Good food.”

”Very city centre. Parking area behing the hotel, little tricky to find but plenty of room. We are always looking for original retro accommodations and this is it. Hotel itself is attraction. Definitely coming back on our next trip!”

”The standard room was dark small and uncomfortable had 1 full bed and a twin it’s a a family room I don’t understand why we were assigned that room we are a couple luckily we don’t spend time in the room. Also the pictures on Expedia did not show that the standard room had this format. We complained but were told that is how all the standard rooms are. Pool area isn’t very nice small pool and there wasn’t a hot tub”
