back to topWe endeavour to book guests into preferred rooms where possible, however, we cannot guarantee a specific room as it may be already booked. Given the age of the property, from time to time we may have unavoidable maintenance works or necessary room upkeep which can, unfortunately, put certain bedrooms out of service.
There are other occasions where guests may have quite specific accessibility needs, such as requiring a lift to our Abercorn rooms or a walk-in shower. We also have some rooms that can accommodate families, whereas others cannot. For these reasons, although we will do our utmost to allocate a guest with a preferred room, it cannot be guaranteed. Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements prior to your stay.
back to topAll the rooms at Belle Isle Castle Luxury Bed and Breakfast have been individually styled and graded five-star by Tourism Ni, no two rooms are the same, each is beautifully unique.
As you explore the room types, the rooms have aspects that make them that little more luxurious and special. Some rooms are extremely spacious, some have stunning views and you may have a separate bath and shower, whereas other room types can sometimes have one or the other.
Some rooms can sometimes have more limited views but are still delightfully charming bedrooms. Every room has been uniquely decorated with beautiful furnishings by our interior designer.
back to topWe do not hold waiting lists. If a room cancels it will be released back online automatically for resale.
back to topOur events diary changes on a daily basis. A date that might be looking like it could become available for Bed and Breakfast might a couple of days later get booked for an event.
Our reservations team are happy to give you an indication of how things are looking and will certainly be able to rule out any dates that already have a confirmed event in. We cannot, however, guarantee Bed and Breakfast dates beyond the relevant lead in time.
back to topThis is because of the lead in times for bookings as explained above. It quite likely means that they are yet to be released and will be released in line with the lead in times, providing there are no private functions booked in. If you are unsure, it is always best to phone reservations on 02866387231 who will happily check dates for you.
