Beautiful grounds! Barmeath castle is an experience from the gardens to the tennis courts. Our kids loved the new puppies. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. We would love to come back again in the future.

The property is stunning, both the castle apartment and the grounds. The family is gracious and friendly. We came here to reconnect as a family and to appreciate the beauty of the Irish countryside - and we were deeply gratified on all counts.

We loved our stay at Burmese Castle! What especially stood out where the castle grounds, including beautiful gardens and even a hedge maze which the kids loved. I so enjoyed walking around the grounds in the evening time, enjoying all of the flowers and hidden surprises. Surprises. The accommodations were quite comfortable, though there was a little bit of noise from the pipes in some of the bedrooms.

We spent several days here with 7 people. Ample room for everyone (plus the ones who couldnt come). Kitchen was great, stocked with loads of pans, plates for more than 20 people, and even had a an americsn refrigerator and dishwasher. Had late nights playing cards and walking the castle grounds.Grounds are amazing and historic. 4-acre walled garden, maze, and extensive paths around the property and farm.BBQ area with large picnic benches in the back. The owners of the manner has very friendly dogs, sheep, horses, ducks, and cattle around the property. Makes a great evening walk about with friends.Some castle interior areas can be toured for 10-euro/pp. Tip: There is a path into town (not the road) through the woods and forest - perfect for a dinner out or a pub visit. There can be traditional music at the pub if people decide to play.

Historic castle. Truly historic. You may even meet Lord and Lady Bellew. The grounds are extensive and beautiful, especially the walled garden, and it is clear that a great deal of work goes into maintaining the property. Our children loved the lake, the ducks, and the beautiful free-roaming dogs and puppy. It was a really memorable setting for our family reunion.The house itself is comfortable, with en suite bedrooms, though guests should expect historic-house charm rather than hotel-style luxury. The bathrooms are functional rather than luxurious, and there were not amenities such as shampoo provided. We also noticed some loud mechanical noises overnight, particularly from the hot water heater room.The only real frustration was that the hot water was accidentally off during our stay. There may have been an expectation that guests would know how to turn it on, but as Americans this was not familiar to us, and unfortunately our message to the host went unanswered, so we ended up with cold showers. Guests should also be prepared for detailed food-waste and recycling rules, with multiple bins to sort food into. That said, Oliver was kind enough to allow 13 of us to stay rather than the stated maximum of 12, which we appreciated. Overall, we highly recommend this incredible property. You really do feel like you are part of history.

We had a great family trip to Dunleer in Barmeath Castle. There were 12 of us who fit comfortably. This was our home base for about 6 days and we were very happy with it. The property is older so be prepared for old pipes that don’t have much water pressure, cold showers and tricky kitchen Operating. The hosts were great!
