Romantic Hideaways Belleek Castle Stately Home Accommodation in 1,000 acres of woodland & forestry, on the banks of the River Moy in Ireland. Belleek Castle,
a
Historical and Romantic property, extends a warm welcome to travelers and visitors. Enjoy the facilities of this ancestral home of the Earl of Arran. The Castle is informal, cozy and friendly, rich in décor and antiquities with many great open fires to warm your steps
back through half a millennium. You may wine and dine in "Granuailes Candlelight Grill Room" at your leisure, become involved with the "Drunken Bullock" (your steak flambéed at the table) and served from a sabre all a flame! somewhat dramatic perhaps but an acclaimed classic.
Our cuisine can usually offer a fine "Moy" salmon caught that day. Seasonally we take pride in the succulent Connemara lamb which is always available. A Master Chef prevails here and we trust that you will agree that
our cuisine is the ultimate in the Country House Cooking. He is sensitive to vegetarian requests and enjoys the challenge, together with his efforts to avoid and exclude non-organic products, and his specialty is pleasing you...expertly. A Dash of Drama with your Aperitifs and Night Caps.
A goodly measure will confront you in the "Armada Bar" a dramatic recreation of the Captains Ward Room from the galleon of the "Spanish Armada" Constructed from Great Oak Balks salvaged from the galleons of the ill fated "Castile Squadron" wrecked on the Atlantic Coast of Co. Mayo four
centuries ago. A superb collection of artifacts is exhibited and a classic "figurehead" of a Spanish Conquistador (Hernando Cortez) surveys all.
A Private Viewing of the Castle Museum by appointments. Located in the Stone Arch Vaults (which formed a part of the original Belleek Castle of the 14th century) there you will find a massive Norman Fireplace and adjacently
the Castle Armoury exhibiting the finest collection of 16th century armoury housed in Ireland. You may view and handle two handed Combat Swords from the Middle Ages, Great Helms, Crossbows, Chain Mail, Jousting and Tournament Armour from the Knights of old. Our Time Tunnel will take you
through the vaults to behold, admire and to touch life that was beyond the Dawn of Time - Ichthyosaurus of 160 million years - Woolly Mammoth Teeth and tusks from the Dogger Bank - North Sea of 60,000 years - Giant Ammonites over 3 feet in diameter and a plethora of fossil, life before the

Imagine yourself...
Taking a stroll by the river, catching a trout, even a salmon. Trotting through the forest and along the country lanes on horseback. Following the hunt. Wandering down the deserted roads, returning a friendly wave, exploring undiscovered coves, swimming
from sandy beaches, diving in crystal waters, eating a whole lobster. Ambling along cliffs, fishing in a mountain lake, frightening a pheasant in the purple heather. Playing a round of the greenest golf. Having a game of tennis, going into funny little shops, popping into a pub and chatting with cheerful locals, sipping
Irish Coffee, learning some blarney, listening to the fiddler and even joining in the singing. Doing nothing, but forgetting the time.
Superb Fishing

Then you've found...... yourself.
Imagine a Castle...
A friendly castle rising on the banks of a salmon river.
An historic castle surrounded by trees and green fields.
An impressive castle close to the sea, sandy swimming beaches and exciting sport fishing. A mysterious castle hidden in the wilds of the tumbling Atlantic coast. A beautiful castle rich in decor and heavy in atmosphere. A dramatic castle with mediaeval armour, heavy tables, antiques and great chandeliers. A warm
castle combining the old world elegance with all the comfort conducive to modern living. A lavish castle where you can enjoy the "Good Life", literally, like a lord. A convivial castle, where open turf fires warm your steps back through half a millennium.
A real castle with horses, stables and even a coach. A romantic castle with bright and spacious bedrooms, many with four-poster beds. A sporting castle for explorers, fishermen, shooters, hunters and golfers. A charming castle, where you won't find too many people, and those there are, will become your friends.
