loved the peace and quiet.

Everything was perfect, specially the staff. We loved the dinner at the restaurant. The details around the castle and the garden was just magic. Our room was a little small but the bathroom was big enough, really clean with all the toiletries. We recommend this place.

Great location, lovely breakfast. Nice staff and beautiful gardens

N/A

Everything

Accessibility to the castle and the grounds, the art work, and the food!

Nothing.

The staff make this. They are efficient and friendly. Obviously the castle and its history and its setting. Breakfast was good and I appreciated (as a lone traveller) being given a window table at breakfast. Normally when I travel alone I get the worst table in the room. I usually get the worst bedroom too. To avoid that I paid more to get the nest room - roll top bath in bedroom! I met the cleaning staff too - they too were lovely and very friendly.

As a lone traveller it’s often not fun eating dinner alone. Especially in a grand dining room. I had hoped to eat in the bar. Or my room. But food is not served after 5.30. So I had a kind of combined lunch/dinner at 3 (after long drive)but did feel hungry at dinner time and went to bed hungry. (Nicer complimentary biscuits please. These are a little budget hotel. I’d suggest a local biscuit maker)? I suggest you give lone travellers the chance to eat away from the main dining room? Even a sandwich is ok? Breakfast is fine though - (for lone eating). Maybe you don’t get many lone travellers? My room was piping hot. I mean steaming. It was like a furnace. I slept on top of the covers with windows open and fan on. But to be fair the hotel sent someone to open windows and set up fan. They apologised and were extremely proactive in helping me. But it was disappointing. I think they need to sort the heating out as I gather some rooms are slightly cold. But it’s a castle of around 400 years old, so good it has heating at all. It’s a TINY bit like a museum. I do appreciate its age and its style but it might just do with a touch of modernity. Nothing too drastic! (I’d lose the mounted stag heads?) A few more plugs and a few more modern pictures. (Again nothing much - it’s a castle after all!) Roisin the dog is a wonderful bonus. Staff and pets make places special - this place has both. But it’s a unique place to stay. Probably best for couples or groups and totally amazing for weddings.

We loved our stay, all the staff were friendly, the receptionist was very welcoming and we felt very relaxed, we had dinner in the restaurant, the food was delicious and looked so beautiful, compliments to the chef. Our room was fabulous ,with views of the exquisitely kept garden, we had a walk through the beautiful gardens where we met the beautiful resident dog. We had drinks in the very relaxed bar area, the castle has lots of interesting rooms to walk around , such a beautiful place.

All good

No problems

Beautifully decorated & the ambiance & friendliness / attention of the staff was excellent.

The lightening in the room was very dull & particularly in the Bathroom it was very difficult to put on your make up, the mirror was on the wall and the large handbasin straight in front, which meant when you were standing to use the mirror you were approximately 2ft 6 inches from the mirror, maybe if you had a magnifying mirror on the wall plus better lighting over the mirror you might be able to rectify this problem.

The castle had a lovely relaxed feel to it...staff were attentive but not in ones face. The food was lovely as were the grounnds and the wolfhound v friendly

Nothing I liked everything

Breakfast was beautiful with a lovely view of the Garden. The service was second to none.

Couldn’t have been any better

Breakfast was excellent. The setting is gorgeous. Staff were very polite and helpful

No wifi in rooms

There was no dressing table stool for my wife too sit at the mirror

Everything about our stay was ten out of ten. Went for dinner which was of exceptional quality and a great experience of fine dining. Grounds were perfectly manicured, and staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Location was very peaceful and tranquil.

Nothing not to like. Exceptional experience.

Location was excellent, dinner was amazing, grounds are fabulous.

The wine could have been better, a screw top bottle with an amazing meal did not fit the ambience. We could not get to sleep due to a group playing pool outside our room. We had to ring reception twice about it and it finally stopped after 1 am. We asked for drinks on the patio and were told there was no service, you had to go into bar, however there was service for other guests late on.

10 out of 10 A beautiful place to stay * * * * *

I LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT MARKREE CASTLE. Every thing about Markree Castle was excellent. The Castle was beautiful, the food was good and most of all the staff. So helpful.
