Latest Tripadvisor Review

We arrived on a Friday afternoon on a two nights B&B with one dinner deal and a third night free. Amazingly we were directed to the Johnny Cash Room…a large room with enormous bathroom. Two double beds…the one we chose was exceptionally comfortable and we got three nights wonderful sleep. The floorboards creeked and the floor sloped a bit – but it was a wonderful experience. I am sure Johnny Cash found it quaint and quirky on his visit when he sang a duo with Sandy Kelly on the stairs leading up from reception. We visited a new hotel nearby which is claiming superstar status…but it is all new glass and chrome and has none of the charm of Markree. The Markree is quirky and all the more welcome in this day and age of health spas and instant access to the world wide web. The attraction is that the Markree is a world apart…a journey into the quaint styles of yesteryear but enough of the modern world to strike a perfect balance. The staff were excellent and we spent our last night in the castle as the only two guests. The storm raged outside on that last night…we sat by the huge fireplace in reception and enjoyed a drink before retiring to listen to the storm as we nestled comfortably in bed. Excellent experience. We came to recharge our batteries and we succeeded. As I said…Bloody Marvellous!
