Stayed here just after Christmas. They had some weddings booked in so the hotel was lively. Full of character and atmosphere. However, the place seemed understaffed (possibly because of the wedding activities). Bar service was therefore not great, as the barman kept disappearing to tend to other duties (it is difficult to get away with this in the bar of... More

Attended wedding in hotel in one if the coldest days of year! When doors are open, it was Baltic in small church! + lovely food, staff very friendly & very efficient! Rooms very large, decor old but expected! - not many!!! Draught drink was very bad!

Beautiful part of Ireland. Scenery in this part of the country is beautiful. Hotel itself is a lovely retreat with authentic castle features both inside and out. Small but well maintained gardens surround the castle. Plenty of activities nearby and only 10 mins drive to sligo town. Food service was slow but food was of high standard at the wedding... More

We stayed here for a wedding and from the website had very high hopes. On arrival the staff were helpful enough, directed us to the lift and off we went. The room was enormous and had a lovely view over the garden - but as others have said, it was all mismatched elderly furniture and quite an old-fashioned bathroom, but... More

The website for this castle makes it look very elegant and charming. We booked a "cosy room" for one night. On arrival at this impressive (at first) castle, we were greeted by a minimally interested man who seemed distracted and bothered by our presence. He gave us the key and told us how to find our room (through a couple... More

I stayed at this castle with my family and it was an amazing experience! The room I stayed in had high ceilings and was huge! The staff was very friendly and accommodating at all hours of the night. Very laid back, and very clean. I would stay at this castle again in a heartbeat. The castle ground are next level!... More

We arrived late afternoon on May 1 and the place seemed deserted. However, the stairs leading up to the main floor and checkin had large lit candles on the sides of the stairs, intertwined with greenery. It was a bit surreal, especially without seeing or hearing anyone, but really beautiful. If you're looking to stay in an old castle that... More

We stayed here as guests at a wedding held there. The road approaching the castle is potholed and narrow which actually adds to the atmosphere. Castle Markree is a very impressive looking indeed. Check-in was meh; the receptionist barely lifted her head to ask us what room we booked and just handed us the key however most of the staff... More

Stayed here recently with some friends on a 'Grabone' deal, which included afternoon tea. BedRoom decor is a little tired, and beds could do with replacing, but the rooms are clean, functional and generously proportioned in keeping with the rest of castle. The dining room is stunning. We dined in the restaurant for evening meal and breakfast. Service was a... More
