Reviews of Belleek Castle & Jack Fenn's Cafe & Bistro
N. (.What a lovely spot to eat! I had the Ceasar Salad and it was divine finished with a Mocha, which was also delish! We sat outdoors due to increasing COVID numbers and they had outdoor heating, comfortably spaced seating and little dog bowls too! Great little spot
M. R.Thankful to get into the Jack Fenn Cafe on short notice, we enjoyed a perfect early dinner. We set out to enjoy locally grown farm-to-table dishes and we were not disappointed! The lamb and cabbage was expertly done and wonderfully flavorful! Beautiful castle, wonderful food, and top-notch courteous and delightful service, from the booking to the final check. Cheers!
E. M. S. H.Stayed in authentic castle room with 4 poster bed , step back in time. Breakfast was fabulous enough food for the day.Lyn the manager made us so comfortable everything was top class
M. M.My son got married in belleek castle on sathurday. It was a fantastic experience. The staff esp the general manager could not do enough for everyone that attended my sons special day. The food was fantastic the service was just brillant. My mother 90 was assisted into the dining area and out by a lovely young staff member. I could go on about this fantastic venue but one needs to experience it themselves. Just a big big thank you to the general manager that made our day so special and will live in our memories forever.
R. A.The castle is located deep in a forest and when you drive up to the finished grounds it is spectacular. The overall feel of the castle is incredible, all the old original hardware and accessories have been very well maintained. This is definitely a place to stay for a special occasion. The full Irish Breakfast and made to order specialty coffees at Jack Fenn's was a very nice touch. Given it's a castle the wifi is poor however, there is a great lounge bar and other public seating areas where you can access the wifi and truly enjoy the castle atmosphere. The four poster bed in room # 4 looked great but was really uncomfortable. The owner/manager personally reached out to all the guess during their stay this was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend Belleek Castle for an overnight special occasion stay or event.
T. K.The food was delicious, our order was taken and our drinks came fast, but the food was very slow coming out,we were waiting a long time for waiter to come back and take our order for dessert.
We were sitting outside and we thought they were very busy inside, so I went inside to use wc and see how busy they were, there was about 6 people eating inside, there was a lot of staff walking around, we weren't impressed with the service???.we will call in again in a few weeks, hope to see better service.
B. M.Great experience looking forward to next trip. Had the veggie breakfast far too much food but really nice. Must order tea! Very special, china teapot cup/saucer china jug.
B. K.Beautiful place and grounds to visit although due to Covid restrictions we could only look through the windows of the castle. Had nice coffees and snacks at the outdoor dining area.
P. M.Beleek Castle enjoys a major difference to most of the “Castle” hotels you may read about or may have visited. That difference is that Belleek Castle actually is a real Castle! And it looks and feels like a real castle, inside and outside. But it’s a most luxurious castle in every way. And apart from its award winning restaurant there is also the recent (about 3 years ago) addition of the also award winning Jack Fenn’s Cafe & Bistro. All this stands in a beautiful woodland setting with multiple walks, some riverside. A stay here or a meal out with your special other is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.
C. D.Beautiful grounds and the new outdoor searing area is one of the best i've seen. We stumbled across the castle on a hike in the nearby forest and decided to have a drink. The food looked delicious so we stayed for dinner. If in the area i would recomend a visit
A. N.Having our wedding here next year and cannot wait. The place is beautiful and so is the food! If you want a real medieval castle this is it!!!
B. B.My wife and I have had three Christmas breaks in a row at Belleek Castle and have always found the staff and service very good however on are last trip I was at the bar and met the owner he asked where we were from and I told him and this was our third visit, not even a thank you for your custom or have a drink on the house we won't be back.
K. M.Delicious food in a relaxed setting and atmosphere. Excellent service also. Would recommend Jack Fenns 👌
K. G.The staff were excellent, but particular shout out goes to Mariek (who gave us a little tour), Louise (who gave us a bigger tour, and is a huge credit to the Hotel) and Lyn (who was just so welcoming and friendly). The room was spacious and, as you would expect, befitting of a castle's interior (high ceiling, chandeliers). If you're interested in history and historical artifacts (so you feel like you're in an actual castle), nevermind a great story (the founder) this is one of the most interesting stays you'll have - call ahead to ask if Carol will be available to give you a tour. We didn't get a chance to explore the woods, but apparently there are trees over 100-300 yrs old.
The common rooms are amazing - they look the interior of a ship.
D. m.Amazing food, beautiful setting, Castle is so well preserved, staff are so in tune with customers needs, all in all a hidden gem.
M. L.A great hidden gem in ballina,lovely setting,food is absolutely fantastic and the staff were so helpful and friendly,very highly recommended
D. S.Absolutely fantastic food, service and setting! 5 stars
O. A.We visited the cafe and it was really good. The ambience was excellent and the food and drinks were lovely. Really friendly staff too.
P. M.Lovely setting. Friendly staff.great breakfast.Dinner small but tasty.
G. L.Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff and also received an interesting guided tour of the castle and museum. We'll worth a visit.
S. G.I love belleek and the cafe i only take stars off due to the price of the food and the lunch and dinner menu being limited to fancier dishes... Otherwise fab had the best scones ive ever tasted
F. F.Really lovely restaurant. Food excellent & staff pretty special.
M. D.Wonderful place to visit with amazing walks through the woods. Had coffee and gorgeous strawberry cheese cake. Staff lovely.
J. M.Visited Jack Fenns on a Sunday lunchtime after a walk in nearby Beleek Woods. We were shown to a bench in the beautiful courtyard. We ordered coffees and scones and soft drinks for the youngsters. We watched the lunches being served to tables around us and the food looked fabulous. It obviously tasted good too judging by the empty plates being returned to the kitchen! The coffee and scones were delicious and service was friendly and quick. We will definitely be back for lunch soon.
B. B.Extremely friendly and professional staff, the food was amazing and the accommodations outstanding!
m. l.Excellent Service.
Great food.
Extremely friendly staff.
Great Castle hotel.
Will have to go back.
D. C.It was awesome and authentic and their food there at the restaurant was absolutely wonderful
S. R.We stayed in the castle for 3 nights. It is a stunning hotel full of character and history. It has been sensitively restored and retains its beautiful, interesting and whimsical original features. It is surrounded by forest that is full of wonderful walking trails. The COVID19 restrictions have been managed incredibly well and handled sensitively by the hotel and did not detract from what was a fantastic stay. The staff are helpful, friendly and professional. The food is fresh, delicious and the servings are plentiful, our compliments to the chef. The room was charming, spacious with an incredibly comfortable bed. The bathroom was sizeable with hot water on tap and perfect water pressure. Because of the hotel's location it is very quiet at night and that coupled with the quality of the bed led to 3 nights of peaceful and restful sleep, just what you need on a holiday. There is magic, mystery and romance in every nook and cranny. From the aromatic roaring fire in the reception hall in the evenings, to the tactile treasures in each room and the gentle music lilting from the bar, this is a perfect place for couples. We will definitely be back.
H. B.Visited a couple years ago and wanted to pop over and make sure to leave a review. This place was stellar! We stopped in just for a night, we scored a deal of a package so I made a surprise out of it. We stayed the night and had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Absolutely delicious three course meal! Compliments to the chef, the food was fantastic and we still talk about it years later. The castle itself was so fun to explore, the grounds were beautiful and we had a great time! Definitely recommend.
m. r.Excellent can’t wait to go back
Louise made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make our visit so enjoyable
Louise was also so kind to my mother who is blind and 86 years old. What a treasure to have as front of house
Thank you Louise see you in the near future hopefully
s. m.Fantastic and friendly staff. Food is always delicious, tasty and beautifully presented.
C. K.Beautiful forest trail, Ice house, plenty of parking, picnic benches. You can walk or drive up to the castle and stay over. Cafe is dog friendly.
D. T.Quirky old castle, flagstone and old wood decor. Beautiful open fire in reception. We attended an afternoon tea/baby shower reception. Lovely food and bottomless tea and coffee! Attentive and friendly staff. The only downside was the room was a little cold despite the use of a large portable heater.
R.Highly recommended this castle 🏰.Food was outstanding.Lovely ground and great atmosphere.
C. C.Such a beautiful building. Food was excellent and the staff were super friendly, family like.
S. F.We booked our wedding with Louise in Belleek at short notice due to covid restrictions. Despite having to plan according to restrictions, nothing was a problem. We had our big day last week and absolutely everything was perfect! The venue was stunning, bedrooms were warm, homely and beautifully decorated, The food was amazing throughout our stay but the absolute jewel in the crown are the staff!! Louise was amazing, Marek in the bar was friendly and welcoming (he even took the initiative to buy in carlsberg for the day especially for me), The waitresses Rebecca and Orla were also great, nothing was too much to ask. I could write sooo much more too. If i really had to scrutinize and find a negative point to add some balance i would say the pressure in the shower could be a little better but it was still way better than at home!! We would like to sincerely thank all of the staff for making our day nothing short of magical!! Words cannot express how highly we recommend Belleek Castle!
P. C.The restaurant and food were great. The place was super busy and all staff was running around trying to do their best. Our waiter, Luke, was half the time out of breath bringing food and drinks. Both dishes were excellent and I would definitely come again.
I. P. D. A.WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW. I cant shout from the rooftops enough how amazing Belleek Castle, its interior, rooms, staff, adjoining forest and the beautiful castle dog are stellar. We were married there in October and they took on the challenge of a Vegan catered wedding and excelled. The food was fantastic, even the non vegans were bowled over by it. The staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating. The actually process of the wedding was the most stress free aspect as Eva, Mia and the team just took the reigns and ran with it. It was a magical, stress free day and we are counting the days until we go back in February for a stay.
M.Our family wedding on the 17th Dec was just magical. Louise and her team spoiled us all, everything was perfect. The food was delicious. I would highly recommed Beleek Castle to everyone. Fab tour also. Beautiful
M. F.What a beautiful place, has to be seen to be believed, a real step back in time, thank you so much Lyn for showing us around your love for the castle is so evident.
D. C.Great cafe, lovely place and beautiful walks
M.A must see on any trip.... I cannot fault the service I received. Above and beyond.. Some hotels treat their customers like a job... The staff in this castle made me feel welcome and were down to earth which made me feel comfortable. A hotel that values its customers. Plus it is a stunning place to visit.. A piece of history... Totally unique. Thank you.
b.This is what I think of Belleek castle after my visit....
Fantastic ambiance! Delicious food. Great staff. I couldn't fault this wonderful castle, a great place to celebrate my birthday with hubby and friends. The food is top rate and not as expensive as you might think. A great place for an intimate meal or delightful to share with friends and family.
S. K.Had a one night stay for sisters wedding. Absolutely fantastic staff organised the day perfectly...Made the bride and groom feel like they had nothing to worry about. Beautiful room.. love the decor.. breakfast was spot on- great cheese selection! and very charming server..couldn't have asked for more👌
D. O. S. W.Great food in a historic setting. A must visit.
M. C. B. M.Jack Fenn's now serving evening meals. Food delicious. Staff friendly and professional and the venue is spectacular. Back drop Belleek and the Castle. Also anew annex.
S. N.Because of Covid Restrictions, two of my daughters could not take me out on Mothers Day so instead they brought Jack Fenns at Belleek great food hamper to me. What a great idea.

t. a.What an unbelievable experience to stay here. We got a very good deal online when booking. The rooms were spotless and the breakfast was delicious. Aside from this, we had dinner in the restaurant. I would highly recommend going for the steak.
The surrounds of the castle are beautiful, with a walk through Beleek woods available, as well as Jack Fenns Cafe next door. I'm looking forward to staying again some time.
D. a. M. F.Lovely castle, grounds and hotel. We arrived early for the tour and we were asked if we would like a coffee while we wanted for our tour, it was delicious. Carol our tour guide had a wealth of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. Well done Carol.
R. “.Went there on a holiday, my uncle paddy brought me. The food was amazing! The soup was amazing and I often didnt like soup. The steak is absolutely delightful, served on a flaming sword and brang to your table. The deserts are small but absolutely amazing. The building is beautiful and the food is amazing. The owner is a great person and I reccomend if you ever go near here. Be sure to dine here, or go to their little cafe next to it.
P. L.This is my second time back. I first came here 3 years ago for my colleague’s wedding. At the time I was impressed by the sense of history and the many collection in this period property, and the lovely walk around the castle. Only found out recently that it is also a museum with guided tour and more collections in the underground space so went back for the tour. It became the highlight of our trip. The guide is not only knowledgable of the collection and the history behind the castle but is very passionate and has a lot of love for the collection, the castle, and the people behind it. The tour is very interactive and you get the chance to touch the medieval sword and swing it a bit (really heavy). The collection is amazing and has something for everyone in the group. We went to the cafe for some lovely food after the tour, then went for a walk in the woods.
J. F.Had a wonderful few days, wonderful staff who couldn't do enough for you. Beautiful food.
Room spotless and whole place full of character.
Can't wait to get back.
T. R.Beautiful historic house set in majestic grounds. Rest rooms available in the public area. Lovely rooms, well appointed and extremely comfortable. Staff extremely helpful. Guided tour available and well qualified guides, Stephen was very helpful and certainly knew his subject. Food was well cooked and presented. Highly recommended.
K. A.Lovely hotel, reasonably priced, intimate setting less than a dozen rooms. Food very good.
Nautical influence on most of the furnishings many taken from local shipwrecks. The bar is called the ‘Armada’ and replicates part of an old Galleon.
Excellent selection of local beers and whiskey.
Rooms are not luxurious but pleasant in keeping with the price.
A simple Nespresso machine would be a nice touch?
Would definitely recommend especially for any type of function.
A. B.We didn't stay over. We had a walk through the woods and popped in for a drink. Staff friendly and helpful. Great setting. The children loved the grounds and went exploring and there was a dog there. Made the children's day.
R. N. L.We were here for a wedding- it's an incredible venue, actually breathtaking. The staff were all so helpful, kind and fun especially Reese the dog, but Maya and Daire made us feel so at home over the weekend. The cheese tarts that were served as hors d'oeuvres were delicious as was all the food. The rooms are lovely and there was an excellent tour of the castle and armoury over the weekend!
M. M.I celebrated my birthday here back in May 2017 and it was fantastic! The food was excellent, service impeccable and the staff knew exactly how to look after us! The setting was gorgeous and it felt like stepping back in time! The next time I'm in Ballina I'm going back!
M. C.We only popped in for a quick peek as we are staying in Mount Falcon nearby. The first impression from exterior aspect was beautiful. The gorgeous sunshine also attributes nicely to this. The hall not large,was imposing, filled with wooden antique furniture and a massive fireplace. The bar was very quaint with some historic antiquities ie..a restored wooden carved life sized soldier statue that came from the Spanish Armada. The drawing room was just nice with uncomfortable sofas and chairs...there was a big woodburning stove in the white marble fireplace. Effective if not pretty. There was a magnificent chandelier adorning the attractive high ceiling. The stair case was off to the side in an ante room which was very atmospheric due to the armoured statue on the return and the brass/ copper / iron chandelier.
We found the staff very helpful and pleasant.My husband said the coffee was very good. There are 10 bedrooms which we did not see but were assured by the pleasant bar man that the hotel won best wedding venue in Ireland last year. I can understand why.
I would recommend it for a small private family party up to 20 people as the dining room appeared small.
E. O.ABSOLUTE GEM OF CASTLE. A LOVELY LADY GUIDED US WITH PLENTY OF INFORMATION ON THE ROOMS !!!
J. M.Beautiful historical building set in impressive grounds, which are well maintained. The castle itself is fascinating inside and out, from the "Spanish gallion" bar, to the restaurant, the traditional Irish food & service is great.
I shall return...
R. C.Had a wonderful family day out here. Carol's guided tour was fascinating and very well done - ask for the family rate. Lunch in the new coffee shop was delicious, service was great and the prices quite reasonable. We have plans to return in August for afternoon tea (€22 pp).
Z. F.The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. The woods surrounding the road leading to the castle are incredibly green and lusicious. River Moy runs adjacent to the castle and adds more to the pleasant scenery. Staff are nothing but kind and pleasant. You can learn about the rich history of the castle by taking a tour. The tour guides are knowledgeable kind and excited about what they do. Their homemade scones we're wonderful and their small bar had a cool crisp ambience. Overall a wonderful place to spend an afternoon with my family.
N. S.Well what can we say - Its been an absolutely wonderful romantic getaway. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food; it deserves another rosette or even a Michelin star! The ambiance is wonderful with lovely open fires in massive stoves, and everywhere is so lovely and warm - no breezy old castle. The staff are very pleasant, they couldn't help enough. lovely walks in the woods and along the river - a little gem. N & D
G. B.Such a lovely little spot. We got breakfast which was really tasty, lovely staff who were so friendly and lovely atmosphere. Perfect spot for a weekend breakfast highly recommend
C. M.I found the Belleek Castle Hotel very comfortably. The staff were all excellent being very friendly and helpful. The owner was also very friendly, chatty and made sure we were made completely welcome.
Great value for a stunning and quirky Hotel.
I would strongly recommend this Hotel for leisure or Business use.
P. N.We did a tour last week with Carol including 7 children aged 5-9. Carol kept them engaged throughout & was very patient with all the questions. Would highly recommend this tour as Belleek Castles history is full of fascinating stories & and a wonderful collection of artefacts. Well worth a visit for locals as well as visitors.
t. m.Very charming building and grounds. Staff courteous and professional. The five course dinner is not to be missed. Love the manly Armada bar also. Make sure to make the walk through the forest to see the structures hidden there as well as the different trees and what not planted. Great stay here. It's not everday you get to sleep in an Irish castle! Well worth it.
M. C.Lovely place, the coffee is great.
J. R.Great place for a wedding, our friends got married in the small converted barn/ ciw shed at the side, (unsure what it was origionally), very rustic and atmospheric with peeling paint and flag floor. Castle itself is lovely, especially downstairs, very medieval with large roaring fires and carved dark wood panels and staircase. Lounge near small bar on the ground floor is more modern with comfey sofas. Bar on the ground floor reminded me of a ships captain's cabin. On a nice day you can open the patio doors from the onto the patio.
R.We came here for dinner at their bristro. The food and service was great. They catered to my food intolerances. We also had a walk around the castle grounds with was lovely.
N. H.What can i say!!! Belleek Castle is superb.We recently went for afternoon tea and it was lovely.
A lovely roaring fire in the lounge and beautiful food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although we did not book they accomodated us very well
C. S.Over from England with my wife and step daughter, staying with Irish relatives in Enniscrone. We found belleek castle not far away and went for afternoon tea.
My mother in law is in a wheelchair and the staff kindly helped us in and out of the castle using ramps.
Service was very good as was the sandwiches, prosecco, tea and cakes. Nice venue with friendly staff.
Will no doubt return at some point in the future.
A. M.Wonderful wedding venue, staff are excellent. Food was superb. Bedrooms are all different and unique. A fab weekend allround. The breakfast was fantastic. Highly reckmmend. The woods are nice for a recovery stroll. Tea rooms have great outdolr seating also.
f. v.Stop here for lunch. food was lovely and friendly staff. 🇮🇪☘️
P. p.Had a really lovely walk through the woods to the Castle . Lovely cafe . We had a nice coffee and cake . Met the owner and had a nice chat . They have a lovely dog which you can take for a walk if you are staying in the hotel
Would love to revisit and stay in hotel .
C. C.Awesome place to spend an afternoon. If you don't want to tour the castle stop by just to walk the grounds it's free and they have a wonderful fairy trail . Lots of history to see and a path to discover nature at its finest
J. H.This place is incredible. Period. I would make it a point to travel and stay here if I was lucky enough to come back to this wonderful country of Ireland. Mr. Paul and his late father Marshall have created a place that in my opinion is beyond compare. Fantastic food, incredibly welcoming staff, unbelievable craftsmanship and attention to detail at the castle structure, furniture, accessories and grounds. Just the right amount of manners without pretentiousness, you always feel welcome and at home. I will long to come back as soon as I set foot out the door. MAKE IT A POINT to not only visit, but you must stay here to fully appreciate what is Belleek Castle.
K. K.One of the last castles in Ireland that works as hotel and kept its unique character at the same time. Very friendly staff and an owner that always has time for a chat. Outstanding food in the restaurant!
J. M.We had a great time at Belleek Castle. It was a pleasure from start to finish, with a great welcome from the castle dog, and an even warmer welcome from the castle owners.
We had a large corner room with a great view of the grounds, a very intricate and comfy four poster bed, and cool furniture.
The food for dinner was fantastic. We had filet mignon served on a sword and set aflame with local Irish poitin!

K. A.Top shelf food, enthusiastic staff, and a fantastic location. If a Michelin meal is outside your price range, at least take the tour. Brian is very passionate, and there is something for everyone. The collections are without compare for a private individual, with what I think is one of the best medieval weapons collections I've seen outside of a national museum.
T. B.Lovely pot of tea in the courtyard of Jack Fenns cafe at Belleek Castle, food is also excellent. The drive through the woods is beautiful and the walk along the estuary after a coffee is so worth it.
D. S.Very nice place, loads of seating and choice too 😊
Z. M.Fabulous location. Lovely food and accommodation. Definitely would recommend and will be back again. Eric and Zazel McCarthy
R. G.The castle is lovely and Rich in Irish history. The scenery is great and as a wedding venue is something a bit different from the normal for a wedding venue. Food is a bit different from the normal too but is ok if you like that sort of upmarket style
P. R.John Fenns restaurant in the courtyard was really good. Interesting food, well presented. Friendly service. Castle visit interesting but expensive when compared to Donegal castle. Guide could do with a lesson or two in his presentation.
a. f.Amazing place. Was given a tour of the house and met the owner, very interesting. Despite the age it is very well kept and the grounds are beautiful. Great collections of antiques and historic items.
M. M.Intending to walk in the Belleek Woods, we happened to call by the Castle to see what it was like and, perhaps, check out a coffee. They have what seems a lovely café Jack Fenn (closed Mon & Tues). We loved the Entrance Hall and the resident dog 😊🐶. Hearing of a Tour @ 11.00 we waited & took a coffee in the Drawing Room. We were given, with some French & German Residents, an exceptional tour of the Castle, its history & that of the area as well as an insight into the remarkable man that was Marshall Doran who bought this place in 1960s , did restoration (often himself) & opened it to the public in 1970. There is an eclectic collection of memorabilia, artefacts of medieval & nautical flavour & a significant collection of Fossils & Armour. It seemed there was nothing our Guide did not know, she responded readily to any question. Thank you, Carol, we thoroughly enjoyed your informative, most interesting Tour. We can walk tomorrow!
M. M.Lovely little cafe with lovely food, nice for a quick bite while walking around the grounds and the woods
p. p.What a beautiful place. But the best part was the staff each and every one we met, Stephen thank you for the tour we loved it, and to our hosts we will be back! You made us feel so welcome.
E. S.Clean rooms, historic-feeling decor, two huge peat fires, beautiful grounds to explore, friendly staff, delicious breakfast. A fun stay for sure!
A. P. J.Great place both to visit and to stay. The guided tour is fun and interesting. The staff is always taking care of the customers needs. The whole place it's a must do in any visit at North Mayo County. Looking forward to return as soon as possible.
S. R.Lovely new refurbished rooms. Great atmosphere and electic design. Very cosy. Interesting collection of antiques dotted about the castle. The restaurant is top notch.
D. D.Totally awesome place to visit with exceptional staff. We had lunch at the restaurant, the food is brilliant. Derek Davidson Tour Guide & Trekker at Walk West Ireland 🇮🇪
N. Q.What an amazing place and unbelievable staff. Thank you for everything
V. B.This place it is- Loudge Owel, Co. Westmeath. A lovely lake where plenty of us could come to visit, to swim, get some rest in this stay-at-home time, in Ireland.
A. T. H. G.Belleek castle is a wonderdul family run castle in the heart of co.Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. It has beautiful gardens that comprises of a walled garden, an organic farm where they grow near 80% of their own fresh produce and they have beehives for their own honey also.
The castle is in peccible condition ad has a cellar bar that is created from wood from a ship wreck. It is full of maritime antiques and you could be mistaken for being on board a fine ship like the Titanic.
In the courtyard the stables are converted into a café and eating area which serves fresh gourmet food and beverages. The castles main restaurant is fine dining by chef David o Donnell who creates wonderful seasonal dishes and he works with the head gardener Alex Lagarde about growing produce for the restaurant. This is a must visit of you are in co.Mayo.
M. C.Belleek just keeps surprising! Recently new Jack Fenns Cafe. If you're looking to see what's new in Coffee Shop world...the answer is here. It's light years ahead. And a lot of them. As for the castle...its full of drama and theatre. Don't be surprised if you see the Phantom of the Opera lurking about here. A real hidden gem. And it's genuine. 😊
m. k.Just finished a gorgeous meal in the restaurant just off belleck, what a lovely place, great staff, so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going again and will highly recommend to all my friends.
F. A.A quaint, historic, traditional, Irish "castle", with excellent food , service, and rooms for all to enjoy - located beside the river, and surrounded by a natural forest. Wonderful !
N. D.Great hotel, the room was lovely. The bed was a huge 4 poster bed and had nice views.Ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was superb. Staff are very good and friendly.
M. F.Had a fantastic evening here for a private function. The food was amazing and theatrical. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Thanks to all the staff in Belleek Castle
J. R.Jack Fenn café for a Friday lunch. A sun-drenched court yard is the ideal setting for beautiful food and great service. Attended a casual lunch with work colleagues and will do so again.
C. W.Really great to be out for a meal again great staff adhered to covid restrictions but more importantly food was superb!
h. o.The castle just oozes atmosphere and charm.
Dinner delicious
Staff delightful
Darren the bar man fantastic
Highly recommend
J. M.Gorgeous building and grounds. Staff were incredibly courteous and attentive. Dinner was excellent. We had an excellent stay at Belleek.
M. M.Hi, my name is Michael am the caretaker here at this really quiet surreal holiday destination. Official business a wedding venue for people who want to experience the magical, natural, medievel, valuable head space of the quiet, quaint side of life of marriage bliss.
D. J.Really nice cup of coffee and very friendly staff. Definitely worth a atop off here
D. B. W.Wish we could afford to come here often. It's one of those meals we'll long remember - not just the food but the amazing atmosphere in this beautiful old building.
w. d.Great quality and presentation off food in a top notch location. Wine list offers great selection but possibly an area that could be improved.
E. R. M.Lovely grounds and woods- so much so that I didn't make it up to the house in time for a tour. I did stop of for coffee in the cafe, which was cramped but lively.
J. O.5 star old Ireland experience. Restaurant very good food. Breakfast exceptional. Staff very friendly... service could be a tad better.
C. T.Beautiful castle with loads of history, would have loved to stayed for the tour but ran out of time, staff were very helpful and friendly

M. P.Great location. Friendly staff and great food.
M. m.Belleek Castle and forest. Forest walking, picnic, half day fun
R. M.Great relaxed atmosphere, welcoming and attentive staff in the bar and restaurant. The food was delicious, seasonal, local and cooked to perfection.
M. K.Did love this place will return.
