Fodor's Expert Review Ballyseede Castle

Originally dating back to the 15th century, Ballyseede Castle is just a side step away from modern times, operating in its own gorgeous, eccentric zone where you might chance upon a Shakespearean  production taking place on the property in summer, or a docile Irish wolfhound might appear from around the corner.  Despite the relaxed atmosphere, with open fires and comfortable spaces – this is a luxurious property with full facilities set in 35 acres of parkland – close to Tralee. There is a choice of restaurants offering all day dining - some of the finest in the area - from the formal O'Connell Restaurant to the informal Pappy's Bar.
