    There is nothing to say. Everything was beyond our expectations.

    We knew we wanted to stay in a Castle and arrived around 8:00 pm. We were greeted warmly and welcoming right away. Our 1st view being night time was wordless, magnificent and wonderful. Definitely will come back. The staff was so warm, friendly and helpful in every way. Between questions about the castle history, things to do in the area, along with something so simple as a cup of tea in the sitting area.

    EVERYTHING (deliberately in capital letters). This is a phenomenal hotel and undoubtedly the most spectacular place we've ever visited. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and we already can't wait to go back. We would highly recommend the Markee Castle to ANYONE.

    Would like if there was another option than the set meal for dinner.

    What a great place to stay. There was an issue with the water in our room and the team changed our room immediately, no hassle. The team are efficient yet friendly and the best I have seen. Great walk in the grounds and a bedroom like no other. Will definitely be back!

    Markree Castle is really outstanding. From the castle itself to the gardens the staff the food the room, everything is exceptional. Dinner was really amazing and they catered for all dietary requirements without a fuss. The dining room is very beautiful as is the bar and all of the areas for relaxing. Staff introduced us to the hotels Irish Wolfhound, Roisin, who is a beauty. There was a snooker table on one of the floors which we tried out. Staff are so professional and sincere. The quality of everything at Markree is faultless. An amazing stay.

    Gorgerous place in every detail apart from the very average breakfast.

    Breakfast, very budget friendly breakfast, deep fried big sausage and deep fried black and white pudding, forecourt standard. Mould on my toast, I mean come on, coffee of no note. 2nd morning not any better, eggs Benedict. Very average, some cheap muffin, left it, coffee not good, more like instant. I didn’t drink after 1 sip. It is really letting down the fabalous castle and the standards so high in every other regard . Please improve. I certainly won’t be taking breakfast when I return again. Single packs of cereal, looks cheap.

    Markree Castle is a very special place, we were celebrating my husband’s retirement, arrived to a chilled bottle of Moët, ordered and paid for by our daughter, it is truly fabalous. Very grand rooms and decorated very tasteful . We stayed 2 nights and stayed and strolled around the gardens, read in very beautiful peaceful rooms. Staff in all areas were exception. Very lovely in all areas. We will return again and stay 3 nights. We booked dinner on both nights at hotel, 5 courses, it was superb and we enjoyed every morse, wine was excellent and pre dinner cocktails also fabalous, served by a very nice Polish barman. We had 2 really lovely waitress on dinner.

    Somehow Google maps was just a bit off so we got lost coming in. Maybe a caution to not miss the cuttoff for the castle.

    A stay at one of Ireland's luxury castles is a real treat. Perhaps pricey to do every night of a trip, but such a special experience.

    The afternoon tea was delicious but some plain little scones would have been great or something for people who want to avoid too much sugar. The music could have been a bit more Irish/ mystical.

    Feeling absolutely welcome. The access to all places/rooms and quietness. To be able to linger and look. Everywhere extremely tidy and clean. Beautiful garden and places to sit outside. The self-help complimentary tea in the afternoon was great! A lovely delicious touch! And you could take your cup and take it out to the garden. Roshine is a nice addition to make it even classier and real.

    We stayed in a tower room, very small windows, I like to see outdoors and open windows.

    Breakfast was wonderful, very attentive staff .My husband and I enjoyed our stay so very much. Now I'm very excited about my daughter's wedding in March. An absolutely wonderful venue. The grounds around the castle are spectacular, there's nothing I can fault.
