Thank you for taking the time to review Meghan. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay, and it was a pleasure hosting you at Killeen House.
Kind regards,

This was simply a magical property that made our stay in Ireland a dream come true. The property was gorgeous and the house made us feel like we were royalty. The host was fantastic and so responsive and thoughtful we felt very cared for thought out our stay. Can't say enough about this place and hope to return some day!
What a beautiful place! Our extended family had an amazing time enjoying the spacious living areas and the gardens - and just a few minutes into Galway for food and fun! We had a special dinner one evening in the lovely dining room. Kelly was fantastic and very communicative.
It was a gorgeous home with a beautiful yard with impeccable landscaping. Everything was perfect and Kelly was a wonderful host. She made sure we were all comfortable.
Lovely house in beautiful grounds and very well equipped. As a three generation family of 12 we had plenty of space both in the house and in the gardens. We could all eat together in the dining room and there were plenty of spaces to meet up either all together or in smaller groups. A great stay and Kelly made it very easy to get information both before and during our stay.
We had a family of eight. Our adult children and mother and brother in law. Was our last 3 day stay of a 10 day trip to Ireland. The house is absolutely amazing and perfect for weary travelers. En-suite bedrooms were beautiful and plenty of space. Also common areas to gather after a short rest. The grounds are stunning and beyond description. Kelly as a host was the best we’ve had. Answered immediately always. And well stocked with food and tea and essentials for breakfast. Anyone going should consider this property. And the best towels!
