Sli Dala Restaurant in Kinnitty

We had our wedding at Kinnitty Castle Hotel on 31 May 2025. We must have looked at 50 places around Ireland and was a final list of half a dozen when we found Kinnitty Castle, and it was straight away the best choice for us. Ana, the hotel wedding coordinator, was amazing, so helpful from beginning to end, nothing was a problem, she made everything feel easy and straightforward. All the staff, whether managers or restaurant or bar staff were super nice and helpful. We stayed in the Bridal Suite, which was perfect. Ana helped to realize our vision which was to have the ceremony under the giant spreading beech tree in the woods on the Fairy Trail - it was the most perfect day for us. The building exterior is true Gothic 19th century country house, while the interior has a very authentic old/medieval feel, with nothing forced or false. Thank you to Ana and all the team at Kinnitty!

Amazing place. Quiet and quaint. Being in the castle is amazing but the surrounding area is equally as enchanting. There are paths through the forest, a river nearby, ancient ruins, intricate wood carvings, and even horses. Food was delicious and the staff were excellent. We really enjoyed talking to the late bartender after dinner.

Beautiful castle to stay in, lovely food and a nice comfortable bar & also very nice staff who couldn't do enough for you. Also there is a lovely walk along the river where you can take some nice photos.

We are from California and decided to get married in Ireland at Kinnitty Castle – it was truly the best decision we ever made. The castle itself is breathtakingly beautiful and created the perfect fairytale setting for our wedding. From start to finish, the staff were incredible, especially Ana P. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Ana kept in constant communication with us throughout the planning process, making everything so easy and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, she was attentive and supportive every step of the way. Our family and guests were absolutely speechless at how amazing the castle and the staff were. Everyone felt so welcomed and cared for. We can’t recommend Kinnitty Castle enough, whether you’re looking for a unique place to stay or the perfect wedding venue. Thank you so much to Ana and the entire team for making our dream wedding come true!

Beautiful old castle with olde worlde charm. Welcomed and served by friendly staff and afternoon tea lovely, with China teacups and plenty of hot tea and lovely food. Would definitely recommend and return.

Relaxed friendly, stunning walks and grounds

Great venue, lovely restaurant. We were here for dinner last Friday evening. The menu was impressive and all courses turned out to be exceptionally well presented. The staff were excellent and attentive. In particular Mairead catered for our every need. A memorable dining experience had by all. We'll definitely return again and soon.

By pure luck, I found myself at Kinnity Castle Hotel while hiking a loop in the area. I stopped for lunch and couldn’t recommend the seafood chowder more—it’s easily one of the best I’ve had in Ireland. Even bread was so delicious. The interiors are stunning, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. Despite showing up in hiking gear with a wooden stick in hand, I was treated with the same warmth as any other guest. Not a single word was said about my attire, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this place to all my friends.

The most unique,non corporate hotel . The entrance area is amazing. Rooms are 11/10. Food ,service better than any place I've stayed in years. Ali, she told us she's waitressing,and steps in behind the bar ... Best pint of Guinness I've been served in years...... She's 18 . Promotion straight away lads. Vicki in reception, lads an amazing lady. No bullshit, no fake smiles, chats. Best night away bar none.

I was given a 2 night stay here in early January as a 60th birthday present from my 2 daughters, and we were just amazed by it all..It’s the most enchanting place we have ever stayed in … It is steeped in ancient history and there was literally a surprise around every corner.. The manager Des was extremely helpful at digging our car out when we were leaving! The staff were all young and extremely helpful and very well trained… the food for all meals was excellent too…a definite 10 out of 10 for the whole visit and we really want to go back again!
