During the three centuries that this
extraordinary estate in Glaslough Co Monaghan has been in the Leslie family it has changed remarkably little - and its' fascinating history intrigues guests as much as the eccentricity of Castle Leslie as they find it today and it is a popular venue for weddings, conferences etc.
The estate has wonderful walks, and pike fishing; boating and picnic lunches on the estate are available by arrangement.
The Lodge at Castle Leslie, which is where our lucky competition winners will stay is a modern 4* hotel just inside the castle gates.
Built around an atmospheric stable courtyard, it is popular with riding enthusiasts participating at Castle Leslie’s
impressive Equestrian Centre, which offers miles of trekking, cross-country rides and jumps on the 1,000-acre estate.
The 29 bedroom Lodge features all manner of horsey memorabilia with the newer
bedrooms designed to appeal especially to horse lovers.
The
Victorian Treatment Rooms specialise in organic treatments, which are popular for weddings and as an indoor focus for short breaks.
Non-residents are welcome to dine at the bar or in the hotel’s informal Conors Bar or 80 seater Snaffles Restaurant, where
Andrew Bradley cooks up a storm in a wood-burning stone oven.
The lucky winner of this free competition will have a short break for two people Sunday-Thursday (subject to availability), to include:
• 2 nights accommodation (Sunday-Thursday)
• Breakfast both mornings
• Dinner on one evening of your choice
