Castle Leslie Estate

Castle is one of the best places I have stayed at by far. I have traveled the world and stayed at many luxury resorts. Castle Leslie is at the top! The facilities are great and extremely comfortable. The food is tasty with great choices. The grounds are spectacular. I came with my wife who was doing their horse program. She loved it. I want to save the best for last: the staff. They went the extra mile on everything. Their attention and follow up is with out compare. They always take the extra time to engage you with their own personal comments and opinions. Totally unpretentious. I loved it. Thanks to you all.

My friend and I spent only 1 night at the Lodge at Castle Leslie for our 60th Birthday treat in April but it was an absolutely fantastic unforgettable trip. The grounds were beautiful, full of wild garlic, bluebells, mature trees, shrubs and birds. We were able to visit the Castle (ground floor) and it is breath-taking! The Lodge was amazing and our room was perfect; from the decor, the comfortable beds, the bathroom with roll-top bath, the balcony overlooking the stables, to the beautiful view over to the rookery. All the staff were so attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing, with lots of delicious vegan options too. It was all absolutely perfect, a truly magical experience. I can highly recommend. Thank you to all at Castle Leslie 🙂

WOW! What a wonderful world-class experience. Treated like royalty and learned to jump with huge Irish horses (some with mustaches!) over BIG jumps - and lived to write this review. Fabulous tea, scones, great dinners and full breakfasts included; gorgeous grounds to walk about, ride about - Paul McCartney got married there - ... so you have to know it is a gorgeous spot. I am super fortunate to have gone. And the riding staff was fantastic. I went in as a western rider, and was not much to see on an English saddle (to say the least), but eager to learn and willing to try. Hence, after a couple chats with the riding folks, there I was cantering over the moors (I think that's an appropriate words - sounds good!) and jumping with my favorite steed, Eric. We rode out in the mornings on a variety of horses - changing daily sometimes, and then had a lesson in the afternoon on often another horse. Fabulous instructors - even with folks like me. Just loved it! Thank you to everyone at Castle Leslie who created such a wonderful experience for me and my friends!

We had an absolutely fantastic lunch in Castle Leslie recently. The food was better than first class and the staff genuinely wanted guests to enjoy their meal. The surroundings are immaculate and the gardens are well-kept and accessible to walk around. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and would highly recommend Castle Leslie.
