One of my favourite places in the park is the conservatory. Unfortunately on my last visit there I noticed it was closed due to vandalism which is a great shame. |
|  | Inside the conservatory when it was still open. I always loved the smell when you walked in here in summer, all the gorgeous flowers! :) |
|  | There is a municipal [run by the local council] golf course in the grounds behind the house. Not sure what it costs to play but it shouldn't be too bad considering its not private. |
|  | My other favourite thing in the grounds is the pets corner. I will admit to going along and talking to the animals like a little kid. Seeing all those fluffy wee guinea pigs and rabbits always cheers me up! These were some baby rabbits that were there on my last visit. |
|  | Across from the rabbits and guinea pigs [and a chicken called Rod Stewart!] are the two Vietnamese pigs - Morgan & Bubbles. Other animals include peacocks, doves, parrots, chinchillas and possibly some others. |
|  | Follw the road passed the house/hotel and you will eventually come across this large enclosure with the deer and also some sheep and donkeys keeping each other company |
|  | There is also a walled garden of which this fountain/pond is the main feature. Its always funny to me to see this as we have pictures of my mum as a toddler playing there with her sister! |
|  | Belleisle house itself is now a hotel and quite a posh one at that! |
