Most hotels offer shower only rooms after remodeling. Breakfast in the hotel was amazing; included fresh fruits and juices, the traditional Irish entrees or you could opt for pancakes. Every meal includes potatoes; good potatoes. Something special about this hotel is the lavender balm. I meant to request more before I left. You rub this on your wrists or neck before bed and it is supposed to relax you and promote better sleep. It smells so good.

I asked him are there any decent people left in Ireland and I was given a snigger as a reply. I'm quite disappointed that I was treated like this customer service and a small budget compassion needs to be addressed by Management. I am in the hospitality business myself and if any of my staff treat any customer with such coldness and lack of concern, I would be deeply upset. the first that people see on arrival and departure and I really feel that this gentleman has left down my overall experience shall I say is not the best.

The bed was surprisingly comfortable despite it being old. Decor was dated but I like the fact that you can crack the window open to let in fresh air to chase away the stale smell of the carpet. Bath tub and shower stall are separate so 3 stars for the hotel. That one extra star goes to the free breakfast. Buffet style, you can build yourself a traditional Irish breakfast with eggs, ham/sausage and beans which I had the first day. There's fresh fruit, juices, tea and coffee. The bar in the first floor is always bustling, hence parking is also busy

It had an in - room kettle tea/coffee biscuits, a tv that was a bit of a challenge to get to work and it was so quiet. So the tv is tuned to open at a menu featuring N'flix and it took a minute to realise I had to click along several boxes to reach the tv icon so it's no longer simple just to put on the tv. Our deal included dinner. We had a one course main so opted to pay €7.5 up charge for 10oz sirloins. The food was delicious and the portions generous. Each main included chips, but we held one back as we knew we simply wouldn't eat that much food and we really dislike food waste. While they had English mustard they didn't have the finest - Colman's. Breakfast was pretty good particularly if you are sausage bacon and egg inclined. Most of my breakfast was made from scratch and tasty. There's no fresh fruit, no cold meats, no fish (I realise this is my first visit and the owners will know what works at breakfast and I've been in higher star hotels that don't offer fish) and the mini croissants and mini chocolate croissants do really need re thought and upgraded. I'm aware too that myopic politicians in the country are deliberately punishing small hotels, outside the capital, by taxing hospitality to give the multi national hotel operators a punch in the nose for mercenary price gouging much of which is disgraceful. All the staff were genuinely friendly and the hotel environment was delightful. Hope to return.

It's…read morebeautiful from the outside, really pretty interior, and the woman at check in was exceptionally helpful and gave me early check in. But that was where my enjoyment ended. Couldn't get away from the place quick enough. Walked into the carvery at 12.26pm and 6-8 staff stood at the other end of the room. Carvery doesn't open till 12.30pm and I'm not sure how it works - do I seat myself? Do I get seated? No idea. And if I hadn't shouted down the restaurant at the staff, I'd still be standing there none the wiser. I'd been reassured by the woman at the front desk that their carvery was 'the best,' the meat was delicious and juicy, but beyond that it was rough going. Breakfast wasn't much better - and again, no one was particularly helpful about how the system worked. Lots of staff, just not very helpful. Room was absolutely freezing (in May!). There was a bright light from a corridor across the alleyway beaming into the room all night, and the walls were paper thin so it was loud all night, the room phone kept making an audible dial tone so I had to disconnect it. For the price, I wasn't thrilled at all.

The hotel was pretty crammed, particularly on the Saturday night, with several birthdays, at least one baby shower party and a wedding. Our room was comfortable, overlooking a garden. The staff we met were kind to us and very helpful throughout our stay and we are a demanding bunch; service was friendly and prompt particularly with the birthday cake delivered two nights running after our main meals. They lit candles, they joined in singing happy birthday (like every other guest around us on both nights) and they even took photos for us on our phones, served up slices of birthday cake and kept the cake refrigerated to keep it good. I can't name every staff member, but if the hotel could bottle the guy who sang in the bar Saturday night, who had the whole place singing, and Julianna the cheery waitress they'd make a fortune from their respective talents. On our first night nine of us dined in the restaurant and we all enjoyed our food & drinks. I stayed vegetarian for evening meals for no good reason that I can think of, and my starter of goat cheese fritters (3) with poached pear & leaves was really superb as was the brown bread and I think the other bread was an onion bread. I had a ravioli main which was ok but I found the ravioli too thick and the filling too thin for my liking. It would be a much better meal if the ratio was reversed with the pumpkin filling properly seasoned and generous with some salt and fresh sage in the filling that would help too. On night two the restaurant was booked out so we all had the bar food and all of the meals were superb. I had a linguine main that was really tasty with delicious Tiger beer on draught - haven't seen that beer on draught for a long time. The breakfast food was very good too and Julianna kept us well - served with tea, coffee, food and precious laughter each morning. I had some minor niggles during my stay. I raised them with the manager and was satisfied with how he courteously handled my pickiness. Hotel check - out was as smooth as check - in and all in all we departed happy and just like our birthday girl, all of us another two days older.

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.
