    The staff was simply lovely from checking in in the castle, lodging to the wine tasting to the store for nice souvenirs. Thank you for an excellent experience, my first time in a US castle. The wine was delicious and excellent, and we will be back. It was worth the drive from Washington DC.

    UPDATE-After giving negative reviews and days of no response, I was finally contacted via email and informed they were refunding $75.00. That is LESS than 10% of our over $800.00 room charge. I recommend using their formula for gratuities when there. Imagine having a dinner bill of $200.00 and only tipping $20.00, apparently that is all the expect, or at least that is how they value their guests. Not worth the money SO DISAPPOINTED WE WILL NEVER GO BACK AND DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. Service sucked! Mold in food, no porters for luggage, no valet parking. I'm sorry for $400+ a night I expect some services. You get better service and breakfast at a Holiday Inn Express!! Just spent 3 days/2 nights in Bellhurst Castle. My niece got married and between our family and his family we rented the ENTIRE castle. Every family suite, every chamber room, rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception. Obviously it cost a shit ton of money. We stayed in the 'Clay Chamber # 5 or 105' both numbers were on the door. GREAT ATMOSPHERE throughout entire castle. Here is the kicker- breakfast was prepackaged muffins, bagels, donuts and coffee. For $400 a night it was a huge disappointment. Everyone drove to town for breakfast. I grabbed a bagel and started eating it before I had my contacts in and it tasted funny. I was eating Mold!!!!! I spit it out and vomited my guts out. Took it to front desk and asked for a manager to contact me via phone or email- nothing.

    This is an older mansion and it is apportioned as such. It was fun and completely fine. It's not been updated and retrofitted to meet unreasonable expectations. The food was good and the service was fine. They have two restaurants operating at once. So slow down and prepare to wait a bit. The view is great and the grounds are kept in good order. We loved the giant tower suite. Sure it's not a high-end and modern accommodation. But the price is reasonable and the experience is unlike anything else I've found Seneca Lake. Enjoy your stay and the free wine spigot. Loved it!

    We were disappointed by our recent visit to Belhurst. We stayed one night in the manor house offsite. The good things were the beautiful setting on the lake, pretty house, and tasty cocktail in the lounge. And, for Valentine's Day, we were given a sweet bottle of wine, a small box of truffles, a free wine of beer tasting in the gift shop, and a 20% off coupon for one of the onsite restaurants. Unfortunately, the rest was subpar. The wine tasting was too sweet for my taste. The bed was very uncomfortable. And, we had a very unfortunate experience at the onsite Edgar's Restaurant where we ended up walking out after almost two hours without food (see my review for more details). All in all, we won't return to Belhurst.

    Not only was the room and view spectacular, the staff at the front desk and in the restaurants were amazingly helpful, friendly, and cheerful. We loved the wine tastings and the food was delicious. Maya at Stonecutters was a delight to have as our waitress and Alicia made everything from check in to check out superb. If we had issues they were treated as a top priority and we felt very special. The castle is charming and so beautiful! Can't wait to find another occasion to make it down here again!

    It's a beautiful place but their service does not reflect how beautiful their castle is. Cheap breakfast, literally just coffee and bagels in bags. The winery was annoying because we had to stand the whole time, it felt kind of rushed. I will say the lady who poured our wine was such a sweetheart. We were satisfied with our room because it's big however it was very old, you can just tell everything hasn't been updated in a Long time. I was a little surprised at the quality of the experience but we made the best of it

    Complimentary bread and compound butter, excellent!

    We went to Belhurst Castle for a quick wine tasting, dinner at Edgar's, and to buy some wine to bring home. We had a large gift card which ended up causing some issues throughout the evening. The wine tasting was pleasant and the staff was knowledgeable about the wine. Pours were consistent as well. The Viognier was the best that we had, while the "Neptune" and "Red's Red" were both solid, semi-sweet table wines. At dinner, the service was friendly and once again knowledgeable. We had a shrimp cocktail, sauteed forest mushrooms with burgundy and herbs, a prime rib, and a Delmonico steak. There was also complimentary parmesan bread with a few compound butters, which were delicious. The shrimp came out quickly, and it was a generally good dish - the shrimp itself was slightly overcooked, but still very edible and the cocktail sauce was very good, with just enough horseradish kick. Unfortunately, after this things went south. The prime rib and Delmonico steak were both ordered medium rare, but came out medium well for the prime rib, and very well done for the steak. To their credit, the waitress did ask that we cut into our dishes and see if we were satisfied. Since it had been about 45 minutes since we placed our order, we decided to just eat what we we received rather than wait for a new dish. The flavor of the prime rib was quite mild, while the Delmonico still had a very good flavor, appropriate amount of seasoning, and a nice char on it. If it had been cooked even to medium or medium well, I'm sure it would have been an excellent steak, but ultimately it ended up being fairly dry and stringy in texture. Both meats came with creamy mashed potatoes, which were pretty good although they needed a bit of salt, and asparagus which needed a few more minutes of cooking as half of the stalks were nearly raw. The mushroom side was extremely bland, and in terms of texture, was a little overcooked. Logistically, it was a bit of a pain using a gift card. We used a large gift card to pay for the tasting, the dinner and the bottles purchased after dinner. Only one employee at the front desk is authorized to re-issue new gift cards with a reduced balance, so each time we paid for anything, we had to wait 10-15 minutes to get our new gift card back. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but, within a 2.5 hour visit, we spent 45 minutes waiting to receive gift cards back, so that was rough. We hoped to spend more time taking in the sights outside, but after the time wasted, could only spend a few minutes sightseeing before heading out. Kudos to the staff who were friendly, attentive and helpful in each case, but seemed to have their hands tied by a process that could be improved in the future.

    Poor service

    Made a reservation in person for 8/31 at 7:30. When we showed up we were told that the reservation was for 9/1 at 7:30. No apology, only that with the other 5 tables being served they could not accommodate us. Absolutely ridiculous. My wife and I honeymooned at the castle 20 years ago, and now we will never go back!!! Sad, very sad! The rating that is listed is not accurate, it should be lower!!!

    My husband and I tasted here on the last morning of our trip. Our tasting was complimentary as part of our stay at the hotel. The tasting bar is open 10-7:15, which was nice to have flexibility to fit into our stay. Our favorites were the Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Dry Rose, and Kinfolk cider, though we didn't like anything enough to buy. We did buy a cool growler with their beer label Mabel's empty for decoration. Free pretzels accompanied our tasting and staff was very friendly.

A lot of the times when you go wine tasting, there's only charcuterie options or just cheese, crackers, etc. We had built an appetite for a late lunch and after trying their semi dry riesling a few days before (courtesy of our airbnb host) we knew we had to come check it out. Located in the same street of where we were staying, it was such a find. Thank goodness for Phoenician Grill offering fan faves like a nice charcuterie board or pizza but also their mediterranean forward menu staples like falafel, grape leaves and their delicious spinach hand pies. We ended up ordering the mezze sampler (and did a few substitutions to make sure they fit our vegetarian needs) along with their perfectly crisp za'atar fries. On to the wine. Get this, you can order a 5 flavor wine flight for only $10! Now that's a steal. Of course, you can also order a bottle and share it or split one with a friend. If you're like me that wants to try different things, this is the way to go. All of the wines we tried were delicious, form their pinot to their rose. A crowd favorite was for sure their dry riesling which many of us took home for the road (not the actual road but home lol). Everyone here was so kind and accommodating for our group of 10. We had such an amazing Sunday warming up indoors from the cold. Can't wait to come back in the spring time when it's gorgeous outside and you can enjoy more of their beautiful outdoor space.

They had a vanilla sundae bar which was fun but I did enjoy the Smore making station that they had. We ended the night leaving with a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel and it was warm. Those who took it said they enjoyed them. we had over 150 people and never felt crowded in the room. Room to dance without feeling you're on top of each other.

Check in isn't until 3pm but we were able to get our room around 1pm. We got a two queen bed room which was decent sized. Due to covid, no room service or towel changes but we were able to get what we needed at the front desk. Our room had a Keurig coffee maker and small mini fridge. We weren't in the room much but when we were, it was very quiet; didn't here our neighbors or people in the hallways! Service was very friendly and accommodating! When we arrived back late after the wedding, the front desk person offered us water and late check out which we gladly accepted. Breakfast was extensive for hotel breakfast, but your typical holiday inn express breakfast with pancakes, cinnamon buns, eggs and biscuits. A couple of downsides; if you have more than 2 people staying in a room, they charge you for the extra people, even if the room is meant for 4 people! That didn't seem right. The gym was a nice touch but very old. The treadmill was broken while I was there and the elliptical was squeaky, loud and did not seem safe when I tried it out. I was happy to see free weights and mats with a large mirror; this is more than most hotel gyms. The indoor pool area was busy at most hours of the day. Also, if you need to get an Uber back to the hotel late at night, forget it! It takes 15-30 min to get one; just an FYI! Overall, great value for the area!
