“Staying here places you within easy reach of both Dalkey Castle and Killiney Beach. This four-star castle hotel presents a unique blend of historical ambiance and modern luxury, complete with an award-winning restaurant, though some past diners suggest exploring Dalkey's local restaurants instead. I particularly appreciate the extensive wellness facilities; they elevate this family-friendly hotel beyond just a scenic getaway.”
