    A Truly Magical Wedding Experience!

    Our wedding celebration exceeded all expectations! The seamless coordination by Gillian and Gavin truly impressed. Enjoying mulled wine and canapés in the beautifully decorated castle created a cozy ambiance. Highlight on the delightful venison dish – simply unforgettable! Tip, book the lodges for added comfort and charm.

    spacious suite
    comfortable bed
    beautiful details
    cold room
    heating issue

    The Wedgewood Suite was spacious with beautiful details from the castle's architecture. But it got super cold at night. We couldn't find the thermostat, and even opening the window didn't help much. The bed was comfy, though, and I slept soundly despite the chill. Just wished we could’ve figured out the heating issue better.

    What they got right and wrong

    The stunning grounds and serene views created a picturesque getaway. Breakfast in the sunroom was a delightful treat, showcasing a varied selection that highlighted local flavors.

    Service delays tainted our experience, especially during dining hours, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, room maintenance issues were noticeable and needed urgent attention.

    breathtaking landscapes
    varied local flavors
    worn sofa
    slow service

    The idyllic surroundings with breathtaking landscapes made for a tranquil escape, though the sofa was a bit worn and could use some updating. Dining featured varied local flavors in breakfast, though service felt a bit slow at times, diminishing the overall experience.

    mouth-watering dish
    charming atmosphere
    service delays
    mischarges

    The Hungarian beef stew was pure magic, bursting with rich flavors that transported me straight to culinary heaven. The overall experience, combined with the charming atmosphere, made it an unforgettable night. We've traveled a lot, but this castle stay stood above the rest, truly spectacular!

    Had a hiccup with the service at dinner—took ages for our wine, and mischarges on dessert left a sour note.

    spacious lodges

    Family with children magical getaway

    The ferry crossing was unique and a highlight for my family it felt like stepping into another world. We loved the spacious lodges plenty of room for everyone and the fireplace in the castle lobby made everything feel cozy and warm.

    It wasn't inexpensive but given the space was fine.

    private island
    scenic paths
    diverse breakfast
    temperature control

    The setting on a private island sets a magical tone, complete with scenic walking paths and captivating wildlife experiences. The breakfast spread caters to diverse tastes with standout items like Irish soda bread and marmalade, alongside exquisite dining options highlighting local flavors, such as a delicious Hungarian beef stew.

    Room temperature control lacked precision. it was uncomfortably warm, and the fan didn’t help. Some furnishings, especially in communal areas, appeared dated, which detracted slightly from the overall allure of the castle. Additionally, dining options felt limited, especially at the clubhouse where some meals seemed reheated instead of freshly prepared.
