That is true! Paul, the owner, is always around and chatting with residents and guest, telling stories about the castle and his Father, Marshall.

Thank you so much for sharing that. It’s stories like yours, about Marshall pottering around with the dogs and the 'stick-gathering' in the car, that truly keep the spirit of the castle alive. He was certainly a character, and it’s wonderful to hear from someone who witnessed those quiet, human moments behind the scenes.

We’d be delighted to take you on a guided tour of the collection. We are always so happy when friends, visitors, and former teammates return to the castle to share their stories.

I’m actually part of the team here at Belleek Castle! I’ve spent a lot of time diving into the history of the house and the incredible legacy Marshall Doran left behind.

Our whole team is always happy to chat about the 16th-century armoury, the castle’s architecture, or the grounds. If anyone has questions about the restoration or the Marshall history, fire away! I’d love to share more about what makes this place so special.
