  • My wife and I recently had our wedding at the castle. Our stay was amazing! The front of house staff was extremely tentative, helpful and courteous! The kitchen, bar and wait staff made the experience even better as I like to eat! All-around GREAT experience with amazing people! I would recommend a stay here to anyone.
  • A truly amazing place to have your wedding, everything from the venue, to the food to every single member of staff. Having got married in Belleek in May earlier this year we choose to have both our ceremony in the stable to the rear of the castle followed by our reception in the castle. Our guests are still raving about the food which was cooked and presented to absolute perfection. While the venue speaks for itself every single corner is decorated to true castle standards. The staff on the day from the grounds keepers to the wait staff they all could not have been any more helpful, polite and friendly. Eva and Louise in particular who were the managers/wedding coordinators made everything run so smoothly and were beyond attentive and helpful with the lead up to the wedding, while on the day of the wedding itself they we’re absolute rockstars! They were behind everything running so smoothly and made sure every need was catered for before you even thought of it yourself! We stayed in the castle along with our immediate family the night of the wedding and the rooms are spectacular - spacious, comfortable and each has there own unique design. Belleek Castle thank you and we can not wait to come back and visit!
  • Had my son's wedding there on Thursday 27/10/2022 an absolute delightful venue. It was perfect from start to finish with a wonderful sense of we are here for ye but without interfering in our fun. All staff were excellent and the wedding coordinator Eva was absolutely wonderful and so kind and helpful. The venue was beautiful and so well cared for and run and so much to take in and some guests took a guided history tour which they found to be very interesting and also added another lovely dimension to the day.The catering was excellent and the food was sumptuous and well presented and hot.It was a venue that I would highly recommend for any occasion but if you are looking for something unique and quaint Belleek castle is your venue. The feedback from guests was excellent they absolutely enjoyed it to the full. The grounds are beautiful and so well maintained and well worth a walk about or a stroll. We will be back in the future for a visit and a meal in Jack Fenns restaurant which was excellent. Well worth a visit and a stay and book if you have an occasion coming up . Excellent value for your buck. Cant stop smiling since we left with the wonderful memories we have made there. Thank you so much.
  • Fabulous venue for a very special wedding. Just unbelievably different. You feel like a princess. Food just amazing. Dining experience is unforgettable. 10 out of 10 every time. Love the dog. He makes it do homely
  • We had an absolute magical time here! The service was prompt and attentive from the moment we stepped in. The grounds are gorgeous! We arrived just before dusk which added a certain ambiance… we had reserved two rooms- a King and a Queen and both were stunning. Extremely comfortable beds, each room comes with a personal fan. The views from the rooms are amazing! We made a dinner reservation for later that evening. After we settled into our rooms we had a drink by the fireplace. Our bartender Ryan completely made our stay! He was a wealth of information, attentive, and just fun to interact with. Dinner was everything you could imagine in a castle to be. We tried several different menu items- each one being a complete work of art! We recommend the halibut, foie gras, beetroot salad, Atlantic hake, lamb rump, and the gnocchi. We were too full from dinner, but we did have espresso martinis- which were perfectly made! Our rooms were clean, updated, and extremely spacious! Our bathtub was oversized and such a surprise to enjoy! We enjoyed exploring the castle and grounds and learning all of the history! It is truly magnificent on how it all came about! Truly magical and stunning. We ended our stay with breakfast at Jack Fenn’s - our service was lovely! We recommend the Irish breakfast and local granola! We wished we could have stayed another night to be honest! The only thing I would say that was unpleasant was the screaming children in the bar area and lounge in the evening (obviously put a slight damper on the mood) and the very active little girl who was unsupervised… we understood that it was the owner’s children.. which we are empathetic to! It was just a wee bit alarming and not relaxing for that small amount of time. We highly recommend an experience at Belleek!
