Belleek Castle Hotel

My partner and I stayed in Belleek Castle last weekend for a little getaway, and it exceeded every expectation we had. The castle is absolutely stunning, the grounds are peaceful and beautifully maintained, and the service is genuinely second to none.||From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendliest receptionist, who checked us in swiftly, gave us a tour, and brought us to our room. We noticed a few flies around the window and light, and we were initially hesitant to mention it l but I’m so glad we did.||Stephen, the manager on duty, was incredibly apologetic and immediately arranged for the room to be cleaned while we were at dinner. He offered us a complimentary drink and even arranged for us to meet Mathieu, the General Manager and grandson of the legendary explorer who rebuilt the castle, Marshal Doran. Mathieu personally showed us the armoury, along with the incredible artefacts, weapons, and historical treasures collected over decades. What could have been a minor issue became one of the standout moments of our stay, handled with genuine care and professionalism.||The food deserves special praise.|Dinner in the Library Restaurant was exceptional packed with flavour and beautifully presented. We didn’t leave a single crumb behind. Breakfast the next morning was another lovely surprise. Instead of a typical buffet setup, we were served a freshly cooked breakfast from the menu. As someone who has managed bars and restaurants for most of my career, I was seriously impressed by the quality, consistency, and attention to detail even down to the freshness of the oil used for items like chips.||Overall, our stay was unforgettable. The combination of history, charm, warmth, and outstanding food makes Belleek Castle a must-visit. I’m still reading about the history of the grounds and have already recommended it to everyone I know.||A perfect 10/10. We can’t wait to return.

I will be a bride here, but I am rating this as a guest because I got to spend the night here for my tasting! Belleek's service is incredible, their staff are the kindest people, the food is amazing, and the building and interiors are cozy and full of history. I feel relieved knowing I chose a venue with this kind of service! A special s/o to Eva/Elaine/Antonio/Raquel for making every trip here for us so memorable. IDK why you'd get married anywhere else!!

My partner and I truly had the best experience in the few days we stayed at the Belleek Castle. We were in town for a friends wedding and are so happy that we chose this place above all others. It’s the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at. It’s beautiful, and its staff match the warmth and passion of the corridors and the rooms the castle hold. The staff - always so courteous, helpful and friendly, went above and beyond in every way. The room (we stayed in the Kings Room - because - why wouldn’t we?) was huge, warm, the furniture was beautiful and the 6 poster bed divine. Catering for every need - with its luggage holder, heating, robes et all. A beautiful, quiet getaway in Ballina. I’ve had the best sleep I’ve had in months. The castle sits alone, in a forest, away from the road so was very peaceful and relaxing. The dinner we had, as well as the breakfast in the morning were fantastic. From what I saw, there weren’t many rooms / not many people staying so you always feel like you own the place - that you are a duke or a monarch reigning over such a beautiful exquisite castle that has kept its charm and power. Truly, thank you so much - we’ll absolutely be back.

Stayed for one night and it was a magical experience. The castle is stunning, Christmas decor added to the beautiful ambiance. Every member of staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and cosy. Our meal was simply outstanding, full of flavour and catered to all our tastes. The four of us loved our stay and we will definitely be back in the future.

We recently stayed at this hotel with our three children (ages 6, 8, and 1.5) and were looking forward to a weekend getaway. The hotel itself is beautiful, with stunning surroundings and a very authentic, castle-like atmosphere. My two sons especially loved the castle’s style, the armor, and the overall ambiance. The receptionist and the staff at the reception were lovely and fabulous, which was one of the highlights of our stay.||However, the experience was marred by several issues. The room was not up to cleanliness standards and showed signs of neglect, with cobwebs and layers of dust. Given that the castle only has 10 rooms, it really shouldn’t be that difficult to maintain a higher level of cleanliness. We also received damp bedding for our baby. It’s important to note that it wasn’t the receptionist’s responsibility to ensure the bedding was dry, as that falls under the laundry department. Nevertheless, she was incredibly apologetic and lovely about the situation. Additionally, the room had missing knobs and handles on the furniture, and the radiator control was broken, making it impossible to adjust the temperature. To make matters worse, there was a private party downstairs that we weren’t informed about when booking, forcing us to leave in the middle of the night and cut our trip short. On a positive note, the hotel did refund us and did not charge us for the room, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, this stay did not reflect the prestigious reputation of the Blue Book Ireland group, and we were left very disappointed.

we were at the castle on first days of december, Overall a very nice experience. Rooms are lovely, maybe could do with a little TLC and a attention to cleaning (there was a sweet o the ground in one of the room corners) but overall very good. Reception staff very good, particularly Raja, very attentive and professional. Food was really good. Some little points - at reception and bar area a member of staff was going around with mulled wine and mince pies, we were completely bypassed. When we asked another member of staff they said they would look into it but nobody came back. After the meal, we went to the bar, all the tabled areas were reserved, which was a little annoying, it seems that people who weren't staying in the hotel got preference over hotel residents. No running water in the morning which meant we couldn't shower and had to check out earlier.

Went out for a family dinner over the Christmas weekend and had an amazing experience. The castle was really charming along with all the Christmas decorations! … for thr dinner, I got the soup and the steak and it was five star! Perfectly cooked and enjoyed every bit of it! 🔥👌🏽👌🏽

Beautiful stately castle hotel on a gorgeous estate, surrounded by formal, historic lawns and grounds, plus forest. Be sure to take the tour of the castle, it's great, and learn about the castle's fascinating history and even the history of your ancestors. You are also taken into private rooms to see collections, including being able to handle ancient weaponry with gloves on, that normally one would never have access to. Excellent visit. And so reasonable for the tour.
