    Just a European thing, but I had trouble finding an outlet near a mirror to use while drying my hair. A common problem in all hotel bathrooms where outlets don't exist.

    We had the king garden view room. Lovely. Our children had nice rooms as well. The bar and restaurant were great, also. Staff was friendly and courteous.

    Everything was perfect!

    Belleek Castle is amazing! The place has incredible charm! Our canopy bed and guest room were beautiful! We met Paul - the owner. He is very personable and fun to talk with! David gave us a great tour of the on-site medieval museum with historic armor and ancient fossils. We learned a lot of history during our stay. The staff was very friendly! Our breakfast was amazing! The dining room is beautifully decorated! The site and grounds are absolutely beautiful! We highly recommend this place! Hope we can go back some day!

    A little more fruit and choice of breads for breakfast would have made it better. Both mornings I asked for scrambled eggs and got fried eggs, however, the full Irish was delicious.

    The ambience, the staff, the wonderful nights sleep. The food and drink. The tour of the Castle and museum.

    Not really a castle, more of a manor house. Noise from the corridors extremely loud and there were children running up and down the corridors screaming until late at night and early the next morning making getting sleep quite difficult.

    Novelty of staying in a Manor House, nice room, and walks on the ground. Beautiful bar room decorated in eighteenth century style.

    You didn't have any souvenirs, previous Castles we have stayed in have Castle bears and little pieces like that.

    We had an amazing Castle Tour with Carol, very informative and fun, I would highly recommend as Carol was passionate about the local History. All the staff were great, very friendly and helpful, we had 3 rooms each was great with lovely views of the grounds. We also had the best dinner in the Library Restuarnt, again would fully recommend.

    I stay in many castle hotels through Ireland. Bellleek Castle ranks amongst the top. Having only 10 bedrooms and no modern annex add ons you feel more like a family member than a hotel guest. The staff were so pleasant and couldn’t be more helpful

    The shower in the room was sub-standard and had no pressure at all. The bedroom was a little drafty, but it is an old property. The TV in the room was tiny for the room size and in a bad location.

    Excellent food at dinner & breakfast. Lovely medieval style bar. very reasonable drinks prices. Room was very spacious. Location is only a 2 min drive from Ballina.

    The lack of channels on tv and it was lost in the room. The positioning of the tv wasn’t great you couldn’t see the full screen when in bed as the four poster bed timber frame was blocking view .

    Love the setting and interior The tour of the castle was excellent we really enjoyed it

    The cleaning needs to improve , especially in the bathroom… the dinner was lovely, the main( fish) came first , but the potatoes came only after 20 min😞… the full Irish breakfast was nice, but served only with the white toast… and i got my cup of americano already made with milk😳, and the cup is really tiny… Small details that needs to be improved

    The location is great , the castle is beautiful, really authentic and stunning inside!! The bar is amazing, and the guy who was working on Saturday was very kind and friendly!!
