Wilton Castle

My teenage daughter and I called to Castle Wilton this afternoon, as we were in the locality. We live about an hour away, and our own house has a connection with Castle Wilton in that it was designed by the same architect, Daniel Robertson. We arrived and had stepped out of our jeep, when we were confronted by a gentleman, whom we presumed to be the owner. I was asked to remove my jeep as a B&B party were arriving. I replied of course, and enquired if it was possible to take a look around, but unfortunately didn't get a chance to explain who we were and why we had called, as we were both told "No" very abruptly. With that the gentleman got back into his own jeep, and drove off leaving us standing there ! Our interaction only lasted a few seconds, but we were shocked by the rude reception. We were polite and respectful, and were not expecting this. Naturally we left without delay, but would have no interest in ever returning, as guests or otherwise. For someone in the hospitality business we were rather bemused !!

Wilton Castle is awesome. Highly recommend it for couples, groups or large families that want to stay somewhere unique. The mansion is upscale, private and out in the countryside with nice views. There are adjacent castle ruins to walk thru.

A beautiful venue for family gathering, loads of space for a large number of people and a very relaxing setting. Easy check in, and good recommendations given for food catering in local area. The house is split into suite areas which was very helpful for people who wanted an earlier night! Wonderful memories were made :)

Over all, it was an excellent experience of staying at the Castle. It was surprised to have a kitchen with facilities and a separate living room with a fire place! Interesting to see the ruined castle beside where you would be staying too.

Very good size room, but yo don't have the feeling to be in castle.. No común áreas.

We absolutely loved the Wilton Castle. We stayed in the Butler's Suite and it was gorgeous and comfortable and spacious and had everything you could want or need! The property is beautiful. And the cows walking past every morning and evening was a cherry on the sundae! We only wished we planned to stay for a week! We did stay 2 nights and made day trips out each day. The Italian restaurant in Ennoscarthy was delicious BUT the guy loves Musselini which was very weird and frightening. Wilton Castle, though, is a must!!!

Very private. Nobody but guests stay in the castle so no staff there at night. It was a good stay. Great grounds to walk around no real garden beauty to look at. Read up on the history and enjoy. The thorn hill suite is huge and very very nice!

The scenery is spectacular . We got the Thornhill suite which is absolutely breathtaking. There is an option to walk outside along the river stream. The peacefulness in this whole area is like no other. The scenery straight out of a movie scene. Already planning my trip back to Wilton Castle. I do have to say that there is no restaurant in the castle so therefore, you either have to order food, which was fairly easy to do on just eat.ir which gives you many options to choose from from nearby towns. Or you can drive to the nearby towns which are 5-7 minutes away. This was definitely not a dealbreaker for me since the area is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is very kind and stays out of your way. Also, we had a full kitchen in our suite so this was great.

We stayed at Wilton Castle for a celebration of our 20th anniversary with our siblings and their spouses. It was a group of 12 people, and we rented the entire castle for our exclusive use. It was absolutely worth the money. Wilton Castle is beautiful, clean, well-kept, and the hosts are wonderful. Sean and David (hosts) were so helpful in coordinating a planned anniversary celebration dinner, and also gave recommendations for things to bring for our trip, and things to go see. The grounds are gorgeous and we all enjoyed morning walks around the property with coffee. The older "ruins" portion of the castle is lovely to see, and proved to be a perfect backdrop for professional anniversary photos. The kitchen provided everything we needed to cook for ourselves. (There ARE places that will deliver food, even late at night) There was plenty of space for couples to have their own private areas, and a large dining/livingroom area for us all to talk and enjoy time together as a group, as well. We can't say enough good things about this trip. If you get the chance to visit, go! You will not be disappointed.
