Unique castle and surroundings.

This was our third possibly fourth visit to the castle over a twenty year period and yet again it does not disappoint. Food was great, location perfect, castle unique and staff service on point. Have to give the Sunday night bar person a shout out for excellent service.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit viel Potential. Im grossen und ganzen Ok und dem Preis angemessen. Das Personal war top! Die
Pros:

Sehr schönes Anwesen und Haus... Absolut freundliches Personal und eine gute Küche!

Cons:

Man könnte sich mehr bemühen, das wunderschöne Haus und Anwesen zu unterhlaten. Jeden Tag fehlte was auf der Speise- und Getränkekarte selbst der Orangensaft am morgen zum Frühstück war aus und das was verfügbar war, ist teurer als auf der Homepage und auf der Karte die im Zimmer lag. Es war halt alles nicht Aktuell! Die Zimmer selbst hatten am ersten Tag kein Duschmittel und bei der nachfrage an der Rezeption, wurden wir informiert, dass sei normal, mann könne aber die Hartseife verwenden. Eine Klobürste fehlte auch.

Belleek castle was an amazing and wonderful visit!
Pros:

Very cool castle, grounds were lovely, unique details in every room, comfortable bar lounge area, loved the castle tour, the breakfast at Jack Fenn’s, the bed was large and comfortable! Smaller castle means it was quiet and wasn’t overrun with people (12 rooma), and the staff was very good with my kids!

Cons:

Nothing- I loved everything about our stay!
