Ballyseede Castle is located in Tralee, County Kerry, which is not far from the Ring of Kerry in Ireland. This castle has much to offer, including a wedding venue, affordable rooms and pet-friendly accommodations. There is also a bar to enjoy in the evenings with locals, dinner service and authentic Irish breakfasts. One of the most interesting things about this castle is the resident ghost. Upon arrival, two Irish wolfhounds (very friendly) will greet you at the entrance. Although the stories about the ghost are true, we did not see any during our stay.

This place is a great stop for a night's rest while traveling through the Ring of Kerry.
