At Belleek Castle, Ballina, travelers praise the authentic castle setting with beautiful wooded grounds, engaging tours, and welcoming staff, while many also highlight very good dining and breakfasts that add to a memorable, character-filled stay.
Rooms have historic charm, including four-poster beds and cozy lounges, but several reviews report maintenance and comfort issues such as weak shower pressure, dated or worn furnishings, musty odours, and hard pillows. Service is widely described as friendly and attentive in the bar and restaurants, though one guest noted a slow, unhelpful check-in. Expect an atmospheric, heritage stay rather than a modern hotel.

A highlight for us was staying at Belleck Castle near Ballina, County Mayo. The stunning grounds/dense tree walks , the authentic rooms with a view; 4 poster beds and yet modern bathrooms. The food! Main restaurant was high class and Jack Fenn Cafe for a huge breakfast couldn't be faulted. Do the amazing castle tour to see the fossil and armoury collections and hear about the Doran family history and how this private castle and its uniqueness came to be. The people who work there were all smiles. A gem of a spot. We stayed 3 days, not long enough. ❤️

Driving into the castle, the grounds were neatly kept. The cost to stay in Belleek is reasonable. Check-in was easy; they offered a porter to deliver our luggage. The room was decorated so quaintly. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom was very clean. They offered toiletries. There was no fan in the room, but we packed one, just in case. The sitting room was a great place to meet other guests. The bar room looked so unique; like a pirate’s bar on a ship. They offered dinner, for an additional costs, though we didn’t eat there. Free breakfast was offered in my package. Hubby and I shared the French Toast each day. On the downside, Our room was over the nightlife, music, drinks and socializing. The music was loud, though not obnoxious. After the music died down, people continued to socialize ; which had loud talkers. There are also beautiful paths, greenways, and hidden gems in the forest beside the castle.

Very charming property, loved the rooms, staff was incredible…. Felt like a princess sleeping in a castle ! Would be great if they could include more activities, as there’s not that much to do except explore the woods and castle …. Though the castle tour was exceptional with all the medieval armory.

The Castle building is in need of cleaning, repairs and updates. It would be a lovely place if they updated the inside decor, cleaned the furniture, repaired lights and found a way to remove the musty smell. Staff was great and the food and service was great. The grounds were stunning and loved the walking trails around the area.

Our stay at Belleek was amazing. We spent one night here and it was so worth it. We even received a private tour of the amazing antiquities stored here. Our dinner in the evening was the best we had in Ireland. Our server went above and beyond excellent. I ordered the filet that was seared enflambe on an antique sword from the armory below! Our time in the bar for after dinner cocktails was equally well done. The bartender was amazing and the decor was a recovered Spanish galleon that had be added into the wall! This is a don't miss castle stay. My only feedback was cleanliness and some things need updated like worn linens and pillows in the bedroom. A good thorough Spring clean would do it right!

Property was nice. The walking trails were beautiful. Bar service was great! We met the owner, Paul, and he is fantastic. Room #5 was nice. The bed was very comfy. The TV was a bit small due to placing from the bed. There were very limited TV channels, mostly news. There was a small table fan we found in the closet that we had to place on the nightstand because it was hot in the room and we could not figure out how to turn off the heater the first night. No curtains to draw, but there are shutters to block out the light. The ONLY problem we had was water pressure when showering. The was absolutely no water pressure in the room we were in. Ireland is so beautiful and the people are friendly. Even asked how to go about staying in Ireland. I hope the bartender gets to take his kids to Florida to see Disneyland! -Love from Texas

Beautiful old castle and such a treat to stay in the original building with only a few rooms. Lovely wooded grounds for walks. Our room had a four poster bed which was the icing on the cake! The meal was second to none. I would highly recommend this authentic traditional hotel and will definitely be back, hopefully for longer next time.

Disappointing. Nonexistent welcome to hotel. Ignored with eventual slow checkin. Ni help with bags up the stairs with multiple young male staff members watching us. Food disappointing in The Library. Risotto terrible - very dry with no flavor. Ratatouille - mushroom dish not good - tasted like made with a bottle of spicy barbecue sauce / could eat it. The highlight was the lady giving castle tour.

Beautiful old castle and such a treat to stay in the original building with only a few rooms. Lovely wooded grounds for walks. Our room had a four poster bed which was the icing on the cake! The meal was second to none. I would highly recommend this authentic traditional hotel and will definitely be back, hopefully for longer next time.

Driving into the castle, the grounds were neatly kept. The cost to stay in Belleek is reasonable. Check-in was easy; they offered a porter to deliver our luggage. The room was decorated so quaintly. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom was very clean. They offered toiletries. There was no fan in the room, but we packed one, just in case. The sitting room was a great place to meet other guests. The bar room looked so unique; like a pirate’s bar on a ship. They offered dinner, for an additional costs, though we didn’t eat there. Free breakfast was offered in my package. Hubby and I shared the French Toast each day. On the downside, Our room was over the nightlife, music, drinks and socializing. The music was loud, though not obnoxious. After the music died down, people continued to socialize ; which had loud talkers. There are also beautiful paths, greenways, and hidden gems in the forest beside the castle.

Disappointing. Nonexistent welcome to hotel. Ignored with eventual slow checkin. Ni help with bags up the stairs with multiple young male staff members watching us. Food disappointing in The Library. Risotto terrible - very dry with no flavor. Ratatouille - mushroom dish not good - tasted like made with a bottle of spicy barbecue sauce / could eat it. The highlight was the lady giving castle tour.

A highlight for us was staying at Belleck Castle near Ballina, County Mayo. The stunning grounds/dense tree walks , the authentic rooms with a view; 4 poster beds and yet modern bathrooms. The food! Main restaurant was high class and Jack Fenn Cafe for a huge breakfast couldn't be faulted. Do the amazing castle tour to see the fossil and armoury collections and hear about the Doran family history and how this private castle and its uniqueness came to be. The people who work there were all smiles. A gem of a spot. We stayed 3 days, not long enough. ❤️

Amazing restaurant and beautiful castle. A gem of architecture, the bar made like a galleon was superb. The meal was excellent and the staff attentive. If there was one issue the sound travels between the bedrooms clearly as we heard snoring from another room all night. I'd certainly recommend this hotel and will return in future.

The castle has an interesting history, and the museum of the owners collection of artifacts is truly impressive. The food in the restaurant was excellent, with an extensive wine selection and well crafted cocktails using local ingredients. The staff went above and beyond for us in regards to making sure we had everything we needed, and we even got a private tour of the house. The staff were truly so welcoming and attentive. I cannot recommend this stay enough.
