They had a fan in the room and the bed was comfortable. The shower and bathroom were clean and everything worked well. The staff at breakfast and at the desk were wonderful! Very kind and helpful! Then the second night came upon us. Our tour settled in after a long day of sightseeing, eager for rest and relaxation. This is where our stay took turn for the worse. Unbeknownst to us, there was to be a wedding. I tried to fall asleep at 11:00 PM while listening to bass thumping and loud announcements like I was above a rave. This went on until 2:30 a.m. I would recommend this hotel 100%, but would make sure there isn't an event at the time of your stay.

We wouldn't return to this money hungry place. It was our third hotel on our trip. The others were…read morehalf the price here with better food, more welcoming and well managed. I booked online for ourselves and two guests, £712 for two nights for two couples. On arrival we were met by a sullen lady receptionist in the hostility rather than hospitality business. Her greeting was 100,000 welcomes short. Avoiding eye contact, she quickly drew attention that I'd only booked one guest per room. I wasn't aware, it was my mistake booking on-line so I paid the £40 shortfall for additional breakfasts to avoid challenge at breakfast but guess what, on the first morning I was embarrassed to see our guests challenged for additional money by a manager in front of other guests in the breakfast room minutes after being shown to our table. I went to reception for a senior manager but none were on duty: I said I'd return early evening for the night. No one bothered to find me - efficiency ceased at grabbing my cash. The charming, morning reception lady couldn't explain why this happened but feeding their greed didn't work. We dined in their restaurant night one; maximum priced against least effort to make - same in their cafe. It took ages for our order to come - pizzas, salads - that came soon after I enquired from a minimum wage waitress. Staff were rushed. We dined elsewhere next night. Breakfast next morning delivered the toughest saltiest 'crispy' bacon I had the displeasure to eat: solid leathery. Any chef would know they served rubbish. I prefer fish (we got fish in the two cheaper better customer focussed hotels) but not offered here so Ireland's fishery industry is unsupported. Sausages were overcooked, plum tomatoes weren't plum but round, 'free range' eggs aren't and mushrooms tasted like they were tinned. The honey isn't honey; fake from China and Mexico - rubbish. A second coffee pour isn't offered. Waitresses carrying the pot don't make eye contact so must be called. They were, but guests shouldn't have to shout for coffee. The soft water isn't filtered so coffee/tea tastes sour, again no expense spent. I'm glad I didn't ask for cappuccino. Our in room tea bags contained micro plastics. There's irony here - the hotel shop flogs Irish produce yet at breakfast no Boyne Valley or local honey nor support Irish fishing. The tomato, brown sauce and mustard pouches are cheap with chemicals added - no better quality Heinz, HP or Colman's mustard - maximum dosh from customers minimum spent on customers. Breakfast second morning was avoidably grim - remember £180 a night for two with breakfast. The brekky menu states 'eggs any way' so avoiding horrid bacon, cheap sausages I opted for omelette 2 eggs but waitress instantly said 'we don't do omelettes' I rehearsed 'eggs any way' omelette is eggs simple, easy quick. I asked for a manager, twice in 24 hours none appeared: there was one I saw him. Management had two opportunities to speak with me directly, a third would soon arise. I expect a menu re write to not do omelettes. The polite waitress returned after a good while. She unapologetically asked what omelette I wanted - our youth are often curt and don't do hospitality well. I got an overcooked plain one. So here it's seems too much effort for high paying guests: a lazy chef. Another 100,000 welcomes and one apology short. On return to our room after our second avoidably unpleasant brekky experience in 24 hours the door key card wouldn't work. The room cleaner was next door. She refused to open the door and as English isn't her first language we understood her to say she'd go to reception as she walked away. After several minutes she returned but we had misunderstood so I entered the room she was cleaning (guests had left) to phone down. It was the lady I'd raised the money grabbing incident with; here was a third missed opportunity by management. She apologised and sent up new cards taking 15 minutes when she simply could have told the cleaner to let us into our £180 a night room. I know cards malfunction but we were peeved at all the malfunctions, money grabbing and at over three score and 10 with a belly of negotiated omelette I wasn't up for trekking to reception and back. On the matter of three score and ten and male I've sympathy for plumbing and our in-room radiator came on noisily each morning. 90 minutes swishing constantly running water sounds and clunky hissing noise so much so I couldn't get back to sleep. Climbing into the bath to shower is challenging. On departure the polite morning receptionist asked if I was sorted, indicating she had escalated my complaints. She invited me to speak to a manager but it was pointless as we were leaving. There's management here but not as we know it Jim; beam me up Scotty. Caveat Emptor applies here in spades; they forget the rule customers make paydays.

It had all the luxuries of a hotel (Smart TV with Netflix, coffee/tea maker, super clean, refrigerator in ou- most of our hotels didn't even have one, etc.) plus more! We were greeted by Dan who was extremely welcoming and very very helpful. He helped us plan our early airport trip and even helped us call our rental car company to arrange early drop-off. He also made us food to take with us in the morning. He then gave us all the data we needed to know about local pubs and restaurants which made it super easy for us. The place itself is super charming. But the thing that I liked is that it doesn't give off that "old and antiquated" feel. It looks like the whole place was renovated recently and that it's really well taken care of. We also were provided with snacks and water, which was a very nice touch. I told my husband that I wished we stayed here the first night we arrived because it definitely would give a fantastic first impression of Dublin/Ireland. Great place, would definitely recommend to anyone coming here!

And Bellingham Castle was the chosen venue and boy it exceeded all expectations. I even got to stay here for one night and they had such a pleasant hospitality. We ended up getting the "Kevin" room, which had a balcony view of the garden and patches of greenery that stretched as far as the eye could see. The place was really peaceful and my New York State of mind was completely gone, although temporarily. I really felt like a little kid when I went on to explore the different rooms in the castle. The furnishings and designs are things you would expect to see in films. My favorite rooms were probably the Bottlery (wine room) and The Buttery (the kitchen). Their castle dog, Ri, was super adorable and roamed around as if he owns the place. Some castles can feel intimidating but this place felt very intimate and homey. If only I could live there forever....

I've been here twice for afternoon tea, and have called ahead to avail of a vegan and gluten free afternoon tea cake tier at no extra charge, something I really appreciate from the chefs in Bellinter. Staff are mostly very friendly and helpful and the seating areas are roomy with beautiful views onto the grounds and River Blackwater if you happen to get a spot near a window. The decor is absolutely stunning within the premises. There is also a spa on location, and you can avail of spa treatments even if you do not happen to be staying at the location. I would recommend Bellinter House as I think it is a beautiful spot in a fabulous reclusive setting.

It did seem like the sauna/ pools were included in the booking but we were all charged an extra 25€ which was a bit annoying though it at least wifi was included and functional. I will agree with reviews where room temp was not incredibly adjustable, though weather was fairly mild during my stay so temp was okay, while I heard other guests indicating their rooms were quite hot. The room I had was very fancy/ nice. There seemed to be a variety of spa activities to choose from, though I only used the sauna/ pools. There were a lot of fancy baths to be ordered to the rooms, which all seemed to have their own tubs. They had someone come to carry my heavy luggage up the stairs which was much appreciated. The restaurant had all good food, particularly for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was simple but good. The grounds were absolutely stunning, service was generally well done all around. This would be a great retreat for either a romantic or relaxing weekend.
