I celebrated my 30. birthday with family and friends at Barmeath Castle. The place is a real life magical wonderland. The house is very cosy and offers absolutely everything you could ask for during your stay. A beautiful terrace for a barbecue, lovely fireplaces for cold nights, beautifully decorated rooms and all topped by the gorgeous surroundings. We felt immediately at home and relaxed. While exploring the park and gardens we felt like stepping into a fairytale. Our personal highlight being the walled garden with gorgeous flowers and loads of fruits, vegs and berries. We also can highly recommend to take the tour with Lord Bellew. The stories were very interesting and he is the most lovely, entertaining and charming host. The whole family is incredibly nice and helpful and make you feel very welcome. Our only regret was not to stay for a longer time. If you can only stay a short while, don't plan any trips! You'll want to enjoy everything the house and garden can offer while you can :-) We also got a chance to take a look at the new airbnb right next to where we stayed and it is also very nice and beautifully decorated. So if you have a chance to stay at either one of them we can only urge you to do it! It is more than worth its price. We are already planning to go back and are dreaming of walking along the pond or enjoying a glass of wine at the fireplace. Much love from Frankfurt, Germany. We will be back!
