We are just back from the most wonderful and memorable family weekend ever. Wonderful from start to finish, surpassing everyone's expectations. Ann is such a lovely host and person, who went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. We really felt welcome. Our kids also got to experience a bit of farm life, and had so much fun bouncing away on the trampoline, swinging on the swing and playing table tennis (as did the adults!). The accommodation is beautiful and so full of character. What a privilege and an experience to stay there. The castle, scenery and surrounding area is stunning as are the walled gardens. It was such a treat to walk around them with Lord Bellew. He is such a lovely, interesting and entertaining character. We really enjoyed his company and we are so grateful to him and Lady Bellew for the wonderful tour of the castle. All in all, an experience we will never forget and one that I would encourage anyone to have! Feeling slightly depressed now and wondering when we will next be back to Barmeath Castle!
