We stayed for a wedding in October and it was absolutely stunning! The staff were all kind and friendly, the food was great at breakfast and at the wedding. We loved the animals on the grounds and how peaceful and quiet it was.

A beautiful place to stay! The cottage was very spacious and clean, and the castle grounds were amazing. The wifi was quite spotty so it was difficult to keep a connection. We were not informed of when or where breakfast was so we completely missed it our first morning. As we were visiting from Canada, we had no rental car so taxiing to/from the location was necessary and costly. No food on site so we had to taxi back into town to get groceries. Once that was figured out, all was good, but would be good for future guests to be aware to get groceries beforehand if you do not have a rental car!

We (couple from Australia) had our wedding recently at Belle Isle: guests came from Northern Ireland, Australia, London, and the USA. We would say that the castle, the physical environs, and in fact the whole technical and emotional "environment" created by Belle Isle team, was THE highlight of the event. Everyone was impressed, not least the locals who saw in it a hidden gem. The Belle Isle team has carved out a routine for weddings that works smoothly and faultlessly (while also allowing for individual tailoring). Belle Isle is an excellent destination, especially for a travelling couple in need of guidance and looking for a destination-lure for guests.

Just returned from a weekend stay. Everything was perfect. Really peaceful and not too far for shopping. We all loved feeding the donkeys especially the grandson who found it funny when they took the apple from his hand. Will definitely be back. Stayed in rowan and it's massive so plenty of room for everyone to move about.

Third visit to this wonderful place. First 2 times at a wedding that they do so great 😁. This time a little break with my partner and our wee mini schnauzer Dolly 🩷. Being dog friendly is the best part. We really love the cottages and the beautiful castle and scenery. Not forgetting Ollie and Cosmo the resident donkeys We can’t wait for our next visitThank you so much ☺️

Stayed in Bridge Cottage. Decor was in need of a spruce up with peeling paint and some mildew in the corners but everything was functional for our out stay. Living room furniture was definitely on the functional side of comfy.

We celebrated our wedding with a weekend at Belle Isle and cannot say enough good things! Amy and the team made the planning so straightforward, and they did an exceptional job executing our vision for the weekend. We came in with high expectations, and Belle Isle exceeded them in every way possible. We can't wait to come back to celebrate a future anniversary!

We had our wedding here and would 100% recommend. It was absolutely beautiful both outside and in. The castle is stunning and the scenery is beautiful. We booked the castle for us and our guests for 2 nights and it was fantastic value for money.

We had a lovely stay. However we had no hot water during our 2 day stay. We spoke to reception and the girl “reset it” but still no hot water. Don’t think this is very acceptable.The main oven didn’t work.Some of the doors especially the living area door didn’t shut tight and this made things difficult with 2 dogs.

We honestly could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding weekend. From start to finish, the entire team at Belle Isle went above and beyond in every possible way to make the experience so special for us and for all of our guests.Every detail was handled with such care, professionalism, warmth, and attention, and throughout the whole process we felt completely supported and looked after. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the team consistently went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we could fully relax and enjoy the weekend.Belle Isle itself was absolutely stunning, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the people. Every member of staff we dealt with was kind, welcoming, calm, and genuinely invested in making our wedding unforgettable. So many of our guests commented on how incredible the team were and how comfortable and cared for they felt all weekend. A particular shoutout has to go out to Amy, who was honestly there every single step of the way and was a huge reason we booked Belle Isle in the first place. We knew as soon as we met her and got a tour, that we couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Amy was there every single step of the way, and honestly she and the whole team felt so much part of our day.I have spoken to a lot of couples about their experience wedding planning, and honestly most of the time we can’t relate because so much of the stress of wedding planning was taken care of by the team at Belle Isle. Trust them and their recommended vendors - they won’t steer you wrong!!It is hard to put into words how grateful we are for everything that was done for us. Our wedding weekend exceeded anything we could have imagined, and so much of that is thanks to the amazing team at Belle Isle.We honestly can’t recommend Belle Isle enough, we haven’t stopped thinking about our incredible weekend and wouldn’t change a single thing. I wish we could do it all over again, but instead we will be visiting Belle Isle every year to celebrate our anniversary and remember the most incredible weekend of our lives.

This was our third stay in Ash at Belle Isle and it didn’t disappoint. We had a great quiet relaxing stay with wonderful weather. Since our first stay there has been so many improvements to the surrounding grounds. My wife, I and Jasper the dog look forward to returning in the not too distant future.Gary, Anita and Jasper the dog.

As we drove in we were greeted with the picturesque view of the famous Stairway to heaven in the distance.As we took it in it was over looking the just as, if not more, aesthetically beautiful Belle Isle Castle.And it was giving way to a most eye-catching view over the lake below.The scenery was unmatched.The cleanliness of our cottage added to the already calming entrance and relaxing atmosphere.The tranquility and the sound of nature on the walks was beyond peaceful it was a mini paradise of retreat from the outside world.A truly amazing Location for individuals and groups to enjoy a break and peace in nature and with history.Incorporated the modern and ancient ways and scenes so subtly that it is perfect for all ages and walks of life.The staff and management were beyond a joy. The manner in how they spoke and made our time feel as valued and as important as the next customer. A down to earth professionalism that is so welcoming and rare. Gregarious management that know how to deal with people and respect our visit.No doubt we will be back and cannot rate highly enough.The walks staff and scenery is refreshing and just what is needed to enjoy a peaceful vacation.

My wife and I came from the USA to get married here in April of 2026! Amy and the entire team there at Belle Isle was amazing, friendly, and the whole experience was like something out of a dream.We rented the entire castle for a 4 night stay to accommodate ourselves and our guests, along with a few of the cottages and coach houses at the estate.The grounds were incredible, the views were amazing, and the rooms were comfortable - we didn't hear any complaints from the 38 total people who stayed there at the estate.Amy was our coordinator there at Belle Isle, and she was marvelous to work with. She was organized, and on the day of the wedding everything went incredibly smoothly.My wife and I are already trying to figure out how to get back to Belle Isle for a reunion with some of our wedding guests, or for just a long weekend in Ireland.Thank you Amy and the whole team at Belle Isle for making our wedding an amazing, fairytale experience! If you're reading this review, go ahead and book that cottage, or the whole castle for that matter, you'll not regret it!

Basically, everything was perfect, and all we hoped for. Staff super friendly , flexible and accommodating. The castle itself is beautiful, and the partnership with The horseshoe and saddlers worked really well for the dinners. Ideal for our group of 28. Loved every moment.

We booked Belle Isle Castle for a 30th birthday celebration and had exclusive use of the entire castle—an experience we’ll never forget. From start to finish, Emma was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made the whole process feel effortless.The venue itself is truly magical. Every room is beautifully designed with stunning attention to detail, creating a unique and luxurious atmosphere throughout. The service…… was impeccable, and the food was exceptional—everything exceeded our expectations.Emma ensured everything ran seamlessly from planning right through to the event itself, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the celebration. We couldn’t recommend Belle Isle Castle highly enough for a special occasion.

We had a party of 14 friends and family stay in 3 of the Courtyard apartments over my birthday weekend and had an amazing time. The accommodation is excellent, fully equipped and high standard of furniture and bedding towels etc. Having a wood burning stove and logs available was also a lovely extra. The staff are so friendly on arrival and the whole booking process is so easy along the way. The grounds are really beautiful for a walk and the kids loved going to see the donkeys!We all couldn’t recommend it highly enough for a stay and we will be back!

A lovely place to stay for a few days. Lovely self catering accommodation. Only marked it down because of its very rural location. Had the weather been lovely that wouldn’t have been a problem

I recently hosted my 60th birthday celebration over two days at Belle Isle Estate & Castle, and the entire experience was simply perfection. We had family and friends travel from all over the world to join us, and it could not have been more special.The castle and grounds are absolutely breathtaking, far exceeding anything you see in photos. Working with the team—Amy, Emma, and John—was an absolute pleasure. As we live in Australia, there was a lot involved in organising everything from so far away, but nothing was ever too much trouble. They were incredibly helpful, kind, and generous with their guidance and advice throughout the entire process.The team also provided wonderful recommendations, including the fireworks and the caterers, Sadlers, a fantastic local eatery who created amazing menus across both days. A very special thank you to Albert Gauley, our drone and video producer, who did an outstanding job capturing the event.We created so many unforgettable memories, and the entire celebration was truly perfect. Thank you to everyone at Belle Isle for your hard work, care, and dedication in making our family gathering so incredibly special.
