My wife and I got married here in early April. We had been making arrangements for over a year and had quite high expectations (naturally after such long preparation)....and the castle exceeded all expectations. Family stayed in the castle apartments on the grounds (farmhouse's) and Amy was beyond helpful. There is a nice spa and sauna room in the farmhouse's.... More

We were very pleased we chose to stay at Markree Castle, wonderful atmosphere stepping back into days gone by. Our stay was made more special with an upgrade to a suite, huge room but very cozy and comfortable with lovely views of the estate. Meals weren't available in the restaurant when we stayed due to a function but selection &... More

I cannot wait to stay in Markree again; it is just perfect for that peaceful retreat! Love it! Instead of birthday gifts, my husband now gives me Markree vouchers for my next visit! Love the dining room experience and the food is out of this world.

We loved staying here. It was like a step into the past. The food was wonderful. The grounds were fabulous. We loved our room, it was huge. If there is anything negative to say about this wonderful property is that the mattresses definitely need to be replaced. This is the castle for families on a budget.

This was an amazing place to stay for a relaxed getaway. The grounds are very scenic with a gated entry and a long, winding driveway through picturesque farmland with grazing animals and old trees. The castle is adjacent to a river with an old garden behind it. The castle is what you would picture for a grand, centuries-old structure with... More

Our stay at Markree Castle was the highlight of our trip. Our room was spacious and filled with historical charm. The gardens were beautiful, the views spectacular!!! Our breakfast were an excellent start to each day. Warm friendly atmosphere around open fire to end the day, or a pint of Guinness for a nite cap.

We stayed at Markree Castle for 3 nights. You arrive via a long gated driveway and the castle looms tall before you. The pastoral setting is lovely and isolated. The interior is everything you might expect in an old castle. Very grand rooms on the main level and corridors. Our room overlooked the back garden area which was lovely. The... More

My Fiancé and I stayed here a while back. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this truly unique authentic castle. The castle itself is really old style, great for those, like us, who are in love with older buildings and all their quirks and charms. The grounds are great, and the fact that they allow dogs to stay in the... More
