A perfect combination of Great food and a royal experience.
Pros:

A great castle stay. Car parking outside the main door. Dinner, I had the signature dish, steak on a sword. it was unbelievably good! My wife had lobster, and really rates it too. The grounds are good for walking, and it is very quite at the castle. Breakfast was equally good with great coffee and juices. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Staying here was a unique experience with amazing grounds, top-notch food, and attentive staff.
Pros:

The staff was great and our breakfast was one of the best we had in our weeks of travel. The hotel restaurant was also excellent. The room was large and had everything we needed. I loved the location with access to trails through the Belleek Woods surrounding the grounds. It was a unique experience that we enjoyed. I appreciated the knowledgable staff that new the history of the place, it added a special touch to have conversations with them.

Cons:

The bathroom had a musty smell with a door that had some challenges closing. A place like this will need constant maintenance to meet the price point in a more remote area.

Pros:

Sehr ruhig gelegen, was für einen tiefen Schlaf sehr förderlich ist. ;-)

Es war für uns spannend, mal in so einem alten Gebäude zu übernachten und auch zu besichtigen.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Cons:

Um zu duschen muss man in eine ziemlich hohe Badewanne steigen, was vielleicht nicht jedem leicht fällt.
