The Castle
With its authentic interiors and old-style hospitality, The Castle exudes old world grandeur and offers complete respite from the world. It is a truly private retreat free from distractions and intrusions of the outside world. The Castle is not a typical hotel experience - you won't find televisions, radios, wifi or minibars in the Castle bedrooms. The unique and dramatically different bedrooms are tranquil and calm - havens for sleeping and dreaming. It’s entirely up to you whether you sleep until noon or rise at dawn to enjoy all the Estate has to offer.
There is no pressure at the Castle to do anything except relax and indulge yourself at one of the finest castle hotels Ireland. Log fires crackle in the hearths and there are several elegant rooms in which you can relax in privacy or in the company of friends. Breakfast is served until eleven in the dining room. You can sneak off to a special screening in the private cinema or test your skills at the full-sized Snooker table. You may prefer to relax in the magnificent Drawing Room with its grand piano and famous De La Robbia fireplace.
Weather permitting, why not enjoy a picnic in the woodlands or a pre-dinner drink on the lawn. If you are staying in Castle Leslie Estate as part of a group, you may like to enjoy an informal BBQ on the terrace. Dine by candlelight in the Dining Room or Gallery or if you’re looking for something more intimate and romantic, dine privately in the hand-painted Blue Room.
The Bedrooms
Filled with beautiful furniture, antiques and heirlooms, the Castle has twenty original and uniquely decorated bedrooms and bathrooms. Each is full of character, furnished with authentic flair and dotted with family heirlooms.
From romantic boudoirs designed with relaxation and privacy in mind to more flamboyant bedrooms decorated with rich deep colours, there's a room and a view to suit every taste. Each bathroom is unique and features include the oldest plumbed bath in Ireland, a throne toilet and a complete bathroom hidden away in a doll’s house. Some baths are fabulously large, ideal for a romantic soak for two.
