Fabulous
Burgie house was just as advertised, beautiful manor home; great grounds and our chef made our stay memorable for our group of 14. Only one suggestion: management should invest in new mattresses in some of the guest rooms.

US Family Comes to Burgie House for Lifetime Reunion.
Burgie House was the highlight of our 2-week stay. Our family of 21 people loved the house and the grounds. Plenty of common space and bedrooms are plenty big to “get away” from the commotion and rest peacefully. Encourage you to use the lovely kitchen and dining area for special events. We used local caterer and piper for an afternoon of fun. The Ceiligh dance hall was perfect for our family’s dance lesson with the local piper/keyboardist and Ceiligh teacher. This was after a lovely brunch cooked in by Emma and her daughter Rosie. Lifetime of memories. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay at a Castle
We had a great stay at the Burgie House. We had a large family group (18) with a wide range of ages, from 4 - 75 years old. The house is massive with many rooms and bedrooms. Was well stocked in the kitchen. The highlight is probably the landscape and outside view of the house. We took many family photos around the house. We did various day trips in the area, and while there was a good amount of driving each day, we were able to do a lot. I would recommend, and would love to visit again someday.

Fantastic Home
Hosted a family gathering for 20 guests which was absolutely fantastic at Burgie House. Everything about the house was perfect it’s a great space for a big group gathering. Sarah was very informative and helpful when communicating prior and during our stay. The property amenities were perfect for our size of group with plenty more space if we needed it. The house was beautiful with so much history amazingly preserved. Just waiting for our next big birthday or celebration to have the excuse to book again! Thanks so much.
