Stayed here for 2 nights in October 2011 and have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed by the experience. The castle looks wonderful when driving up to it and the entrance hall is very impressive but after this things started to go down hill. The lady who met us at reception (Mary, I believe), although not rude was certainly not... More

MANY years ago I discovered this hotel in a B&B booklet and decided to try it out. It had been a derelict building and the new owner (I mistook him for the gardener) was still working on improving the over run landscape but we had booked a night there so decided to stay---there was only one other couple staying there...

This was absolutely the most hidden gem of any place I’ve ever stayed it. I did not read about this in a single guide book (And I read about 5) but no matter, it is well worth every second of your time! This was like a true fairy tale experience! First the long winding mystical drive through the thick Belleek... More

So after spending a few days in bustling Galway I wanted to treat my finacee to a nice evening somewhere between galway and Donegal, after a quick search of google I found Belleek, I had previously never heard of it. People I have spoken to in the hotel industry had never heard of it. But having seen the reviews and... More

A beautiful small Irish castle hotel in a beautiful location. A very warm welcome and a pleasant stay serviced by friendly and approachable staff. Fantastic, beautifully prepared and presented food in the gorgeous character restaurant. The rooms need a bit of a refurb but still great value for money and worth the visit. More

The bar/waiting staff in the hotel were excellent, as was the food but that's the only positive thing I can say about the hotel. Firstly the decor in the rooms appears to be as old as the castle itself! There was a basic bed, a dressing table and an ipod dock in the room. The bathroom was old and uninviting,... More

The staff were so helpful, room was great and location of castle is superb. The dining was to die for, and the ambience within the castle was fantastic. We stayed for two nights with our one year old little boy, the staff were extremely welcoming to him and bent over backwards to make our stay more comfortable. One of those... More

We were on a Groupon offer and were impressed with the approach to the castle. The foyer had a big fire and the staff were very friendly. Then we were shown our room..... We think it may have been a linen closet. The bathroom addition was extremely small, i.e. so small to sit on the toilet you needed to put... More

So first the positives............... the hotel itself is absolutely amazing from the outside, from the view as you approach and then the fabulous foyer when you enter and even into the public areas to the left - casual seating area and lovely little bar area. We also had an impromptu tour of the armory, armada bar and amazing dinning area... More

Belleek Castle has become my new favourite place...ever. The location, staff, food and accommodation are all amazing. First the staff. So friendly. Maya, Ciaran and chef Stephen deserve special mentions; Maya for offering to look after our baby while we had some dinner on both nights, Ciaran the barman for being warm and friendly and Stephen for cooking the best...
