A beautiful place at any time but spectacular at Christmas. The Orangery decorated beautifully, great service and good food. Christmas trees in abundance and candles glowing .Even Scrooge would be impressed.

Not good on this occasion. Took over 40 minutes to get our drinks. One of our group ordered a cocktail. The staff had never heard of it even though it was on their cocktail menu. We were told it couldn't be made as no one 'on site' could make cocktails. Food was good but not impressed with the service.

Was very disappointed today when trying to transfer a booking for afternoon tea. We have two vulnerable individuals in our party and with Covid it makes complete sense to delay the get together. No understanding was provided and in no uncertain terms was told we could not move the booking. Won't be going there again!!!!

Always a pleasure visiting Kilworth house. The food is fantastic and always well presented. The staff very pleasant and nothing seems too much trouble for them. Been a visitor here for over 17 years since I got married there and will continue to be a customer in the future

We stayed at Kilworth House for my son's wedding. The venue was stunning with views of the countryside all round. The accommodation was excellent with lovely food and wonderful facilities. I couldn't fault the staff who made the wedding an event to always remember. So friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
