Belleek Castle
About
Belleek Castle is a magnificent Neo‑Gothic manor house turned luxury hotel, wedding venue and museum set on 200 acres of green lawns, woodlands and the rolling Moy Estuary. Built between 1825 and 1831, the castle retains its original grandeur with vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces, antique armour and a museum that houses the famed Grace O’Malley armour and fossils. Guests are treated to stunning period rooms, four‑poster beds, exquisite furnishings and the award‑winning Library Restaurant where fresh local ingredients are showcased in a beautiful riverside setting. Whether you’re staying overnight, hosting a wedding, exploring the grounds, or enjoying the bar and spa, Belleek Castle offers an unforgettable blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury. The castle’s wedding spaces range from the grand Great Hall, capable of hosting up to 180 guests, to the rustic Stable Block and the intimate tween deck, ensuring a perfect backdrop for ceremonies and receptions of any size. The grounds include manicured gardens, wooded avenues, a boat‑ride along the estuary and the famous Armada Bar, where guests can enjoy Irish Guinness and rare whiskies. With a well‑staffed team and flexible accommodation options, Belleek Castle guarantees a seamless, romantic experience. Beyond weddings, the hotel offers a range of luxury rooms, exclusive restaurant dining, afternoon tea and an adventure‑ready experience for guests wanting to explore the surrounding Mayo countryside, including hiking, surfing and historic sites. Best time to visit: late spring to early autumn when the weather is mild and the gardens bloom, yet still out of high‑tourist season. The castle welcomes guests year‑round, with all facilities available 24 hours for guests staying overnight.
