Castle Leslie Estate

Just spent a wonderful Halloween week in Castle Leslie. In a nutshell, it’s like a fairytale - but it’s real! From the moment you arrive, the wonderfully attentive staff (thank you to Daniel who checked me in and also greeted me at the front gate) to Julie/Jovita in reservations who are always so helpful in finding me accommodation. The super friendly reception staff (one day I will remember all your names!) to Toni and her team upstairs, always so efficient and courteous. The lovely housekeeping and turndown teams. To Gemma, Steven,Orla. Nina, Jackie, Saoirse, Tina, Eoin and a few whose names I’ve forgotten! this is a great team who know how to look after their clients. Thank you Orla for the epic xc ride-outs! We had such fun, always came home happy and smiling and feeling safe. To the amazing Victorian Treatment Room staff, especially Valerie. Highly recommended for tired equestrians! Massage and hot tub were amazing. All these wonderful people make for a very special guest experience. I look forward to seeing you all again in 2025!

We spent 2 nights at Castle Leslie and as always, the stay was amazing. From the minute you arrive at the gates, to the reception staff, the bar staff and a huge mention to the staff at the stables who looked after Emma, my daughter, so well. They are all a credit to Castle Leslie.

Castle Leslie is an extraordinary place. We were here for a family wedding and everything was perfect. I'd like to mention Jovita Rabiene from Reservations who dealt with all our pre-stay queries in a friendly, professional, and helpful manner. From the moment we arrived at check-in, we were welcomed by all the staff we met. Frank, the shuttle bus driver, and his colleague whose name I didn't get were absolute gentlemen in getting us from the Lodge to the Castle dry and safely on a very wet wedding day! The breakfast at the Lodge at Snaffles is superb, again served by the friendliest most helpful staff I have come across in my many hotel stays. The food range at breakfast was super and freshly prepared. The whole ambience at the Lodge is relaxed, warm, and welcoming. An early morning walk through the castle out to the lake beyond was magical. A truly special place. The Lodge rooms are spacious and well supplied with small luxury touches like tiny fresh cupcakes on the day of arrival, drinking water, tea and coffee. Fluffy robes in the bathroom and a great shower. I loved the way the rooms all had names rather than numbers! We will definitely return to Castle Leslie, and we were very glad the bride and groom chose this gorgeous place for their wedding.

Amazingly comfortable rooms. Great food service especially snaffles . Big equestrian scene. Beautiful scenery and historic castle. Definitely take the history tour is fascinating. The old house feeling is still there doesn’t feel like a museum but a country house

Staff make this place special, well done 👏 Food delicious. Beautiful setting. A hidden gem in monaghan. The village is quaint and immaculate, full of history. Chocolate shop is a must. Great place to stay. Would recommend and will continue to visit.
