22/06/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Birthday Celebration at Belleek Castle Hotel
We recently celebrated a birthday party at Belleek Castle Hotel, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish.
A special thank you to Eva, who helped with the booking and suggested many great ideas that made the celebration even more special. Steven, the Operations head, leads his team with great professionalism and attention to detail. John, Daria, Raquel,forgot the other girl name (sorry) were excellent and Victoria did an amazing job with the setup, making the venue look beautiful.
A special mention to receptionists Briyana and Ivana, who warmly welcomed our guests, guided them to the hall, and were very professional throughout the event.
The food was lovely, and all of our guests praised the chef for the excellent meal. We also had the pleasure of meeting Andrew (Headchef) , who took great care of everyone, checking that all guests were comfortable and enjoying themselves.
It was wonderful to meet the owner, Mathieu Doran, who was friendly and welcoming.
After lunch, all of our guests enjoyed the guided castle tour with Paul (tour guide). He provided a fascinating and detailed explanation of the castle's history. The tour included the dungeons, museum, armoury room, fossils, rocks, and many other unique historical collections. There is so much to see and learn.
I highly recommend Belleek Castle Hotel for weddings, birthday parties, special celebrations, and hotel stays. The exceptional staff, delicious food, beautiful setting, and rich history of the castle create a truly memorable experience. Thank you to everyone who made our celebration so special! 😊🏰🎉
13/05/2026: If you’re looking for THE castle experience this is it! The overall experience has been top tier offering grand furnishings, indulging restaurant and bar menu and relaxing atmosphere. The neo-gothic architecture and interior design transports you back in time. The only restaurant on site offers a unique and elegant menu with the highly recommended Drunken Bullock steak that is an experience in itself.
As I write this, lounging in the luxuriously decorated sitting room adjacent to the Armada Bar, I can confidently tell you this is the place to book if you’re looking for a private castle visit. With only 10 bedrooms, you are guaranteed a timeless environment that takes you back in time.
We are traveling the Wild Atlantic Way, which the Belleek castle has special WAW bundle offer with complimentary breakfast every morning, one night of complimentary 3 course meal for 2 at the their restaurant and 2 pints of Guinness at the armada bar. They also offer a tour (highly recommend booking) of the castle and dungeons daily which gives you an extra activity to do around the property.
We are a young couple visiting from California. We got to meet the owner and he was so kind and friendly to us and our 16month baby. Happy to write they offer pop up cot which has been our deciding factor in choosing our residences along the WAW so we didn’t have to travel with a pop up cot.
All in all would highly recommend coming on a weekday where you can avoid a possible wedding/wedding guests. The castle was up to par with what we had expected— the food/service was great and beautifully furnished. Some might expect Ritz Carlton meets Highclere castle- This is not that so get your expectations right before coming. The castle was such a fun experience along our journey across Ireland.
