Castle Leslie Estate  

On 1,000 acres of undulating Irish countryside just outside the village of Glaslough in Co. Monaghan, this historic castle estate sits amid woodland and lakes. It’s about 80 minutes from Dublin and 60 minutes from Belfast, and a short drive from the village theatre, nearby castle sights and local museums. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, it blends country escape with easy regional access.

Rooms are individually decorated across the original castle (21 rooms) and the social lodge (around 50 rooms), plus a two‑bedroom Old Stable Mews for families or groups. Expect authentic period interiors in the castle, convivial comfort in the lodge, and private-home convenience in the mews. Many rooms include private baths with deep soaking tubs and separate showers, plus tea/coffee and complimentary bottled water.

A full-service spa offers massages, facials and body treatments, plus hot tub and sauna for post-activity relaxation. On-property activities run from horse riding, pike fishing and boating to walking trails, archery, clay-target shooting, falconry and hot‑air ballooning. There’s a library, picnic and BBQ area, free self-parking and optional transfer services; pets are welcome and the estate is accessible by lift where needed.

Event facilities include conference space and two meeting rooms, backed by complimentary wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk and concierge services for planning activities or transfers.

An on-site restaurant and a relaxed bar/lounge serve guests, with full breakfasts available daily from 7:00–11:00 AM for a fee. For casual outdoor meals, use the picnic and BBQ areas after a day on the grounds.
