This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. It was big enough to accommodate our large extended family on vacation. It has such interesting history. We loved the tour of the castle given by Lord Bellew. Lady Bellew was so warm and friendly and showed us the walled garden. The gardens are stunning. Expansive and fairytale like. The nicest gardens we have visited in Ireland. We enjoyed walking around the lake and admiring the sheep and cows on the larger estate area. The accommodations are charming. We had everything we needed. They even had sports equipment so some played tennis on the tennis court and we had a family ping pong tournament with the ping pong table provided. We hope to return some day.
