When one of my best friends told me he was going to get married in a castle in Ireland, I was…read moreimmediately pumped for the trip. And Bellingham Castle was the chosen venue and boy it exceeded all expectations. I even got to stay here for one night and they had such a pleasant hospitality. We ended up getting the "Kevin" room, which had a balcony view of the garden and patches of greenery that stretched as far as the eye could see. The place was really peaceful and my New York State of mind was completely gone, although temporarily. I really felt like a little kid when I went on to explore the different rooms in the castle. The furnishings and designs are things you would expect to see in films. My favorite rooms were probably the Bottlery (wine room) and The Buttery (the kitchen). Their castle dog, Ri, was super adorable and roamed around as if he owns the place. Some castles can feel intimidating but this place felt very intimate and homey. If only I could live there forever....

The hotel was nice with plenty of space, beautiful grounds and friendly staff. Friends and I got…read morethe feeling that this hotel caters to an older crowd. And events at the hotel can be loud when you're looking for some peace and quiet in Dundalk. Breakfast was included with our room but it wasn't very impressive - some fried eggs gone cold on a buffet, limited healthy choices otherwise. Unfortunately, I had some bad luck when it came to my stay. When my plug adapter went missing, the hotel provided one. However, it didn't work. By the time I figured that out, it was too late at night to roll down to reception for another one so I just made do. A wedding at the event space meant that drunk partygoers were roaming the hotel grounds, singing and yelling, until the wee hours of the morning. Although I had booked a non-smoking room, and although I was thrilled that the window and balcony door could be opened to let in fresh air, my neighbor decided to smoke on his balcony (continuously) until 3 am. In a desperate attempt for sleep, I called the front desk. Once, the call rang without answer. And on the second try, they hung up on me. Great service and help, guys. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Beautiful property, impeccably clean. Bed and breakfast on a larger scale. Spacious rooms full of…read morenatural light recently redone and quite modern. The bathroom alone is larger than most rooms-particularly my last room in the UK. The gym was decently equipped and there is a wonderful heated indoor pool, with a jacuzzi and sauna. It would be nice if there were access to sound on the TV in the gym. I arrived after 11:00 pm and the front desk was there and ready to check me in. It only took a few minutes. I passed by a very lively bar area that goes until midnight I'm told. About to try the food. Breakfast was buffet style but everything replenished regularly and very fresh and delicious. Freshly fried eggs available how you like them. I have to mention that with all the positives, a couple of caveats. There is a golf course and working farms in the area. I was awakened each morning quite early by noises from surrounding properties. Lastly, I had the Di Not Disturb sign in my door but housekeeping went in anyway. I was told that calls to the room were made, a manager was notified and a supervisor accompanied the cleaning person. I was told this was policy. So, lesson learned. Let the hotel know in advance that you will not want room to be serviced.

Absolutely stunning hotel with a surprisingly large ballroom! Came here for part of a wedding…read moreceremony and was amazed by how the ballroom/conference space was quickly transformed. Additionally, the ballroom is far enough from the actual hotel rooms so that it wasn't too noisy or crowded. There is also an entrance to the hall directly from the parking lot (located behind the building), reducing the amount of traffic coming through the main entrance of the hotel. The conference room is complete with several chandeliers and its own set of toilets. The hotel itself is located in a local, quite area. It seems like such a beautiful place to have an event or stay for a quiet weekend getaway. Can't wait to come back and stay as a guest!

There was some loose flooring right when you walk up the stairs to the first floor. Customer service was decent, but not amazing. A maid opened our door at 9am in the morning and did not knock- she immediately mumbled sorry and left. Eloise who worked at the front desk answered any questions we had during her shift, but wasn't especially friendly (it seemed liked we annoyed her). The massage therapist as the spa was nice and professional (I think her name was Emma?). Early in the morning we met Tim and we have to say meeting him was the best part of our stay here. He was very friendly and sincere. He even grabbed a Diet Coke for us because the kitchen was not yet open. He gave us great pointers for our trip ( places to go and the best routes to get there) and even showed us the map in one of their hallways to show us where we would be traveling to next! The food was great. The dinner menu has a great selection and the food we ordered was very good. Breakfast was also quite good with a decent selection to choose from. I mainly gave this place a 4 versus a 3 because of our encounter with Tim and because of the food.

Sure, you need good vision to see the sea, but it's there! We stayed 3 nights and added breakfast. Our check in was late, (thanks to a navigation re-route after a long day out), tho flawless. We were presenting a drink amenity and advised the bar was still open... nice touch. Our aromatherapy spray wasn't in the room. Not a huge deal, but I didn't bring any with me, since the room included it and we really liked the provided one on our last stay. The room was clean, well-appointed and spacious. Breakfast was plentiful. The croissants alone were worth the additional cost. I could have eaten them all day, every day. There is cereal, fruit, eggs, black & white pudding, ham (bacon), deli meats and cheeses, assorted breads & pastries, a gluten-free station and... did I mention the croissants? Check-out was painless. We owed a small additional amount for taxes. The gent working the desk called up to make sure we got breakfast pre-departure, when he found out we hadn't yet eaten and were flying out. On his insistence, we went up for breakfast before going to the airport. I owe him one. We would not have had time to eat. The lines were crazy. Those small touches make a huge difference and will keep us coming back. Another great stay.

The front desk manager went out of his way to make me a cup of coffee one morning as it was early and breakfast wasn't starting for a few hours. The restaurant on the 13th floor is a great breakfast venue and again the staff are very helpful- making a mocha or Americano or providing extra pancakes for my 8 year old. Rooms are big and clean and the showers are great. Anything I needed was attended to without delay. Well done and I will plan on staying here again on my next trip to Dundalk

This is only for the Bar and Nightclub…read more I went with my cousins for pub food and drinks. They had a nice selection, and the food was delicious. I had fish and chips: thick and juicy battered slabs. My cousin, who isn't usually a fan of hamburgers, thought it was terrific. The price felt a little steep, but at least the food was top quality and there was a nice selection of beers and ciders. The entertainment was terrific: they had a live singer who skillfully belted out some karaoke favorites (Friends in Low Places, to Build Me Up Buttercup to Galway Girl). The nightclub underneath was clean and trendy- very well designed with good music. Unfortunately, the clientele was definitely lacking. No spirit up at the bar, especially with such good music, and the club was fairly empty- though the few who were present certainly had energy. maybe cover is too steep- come through the bar like we did and you won't have to pay. Recommended... especially since there aren't many other options in Carrickmacross.
