World Class

Not only did Castle Leslie Estate scoop two winning awards for “Ireland’s Four-Star Resort” and “Ireland’s Favourite Place To Stay” at the 2022 Hotel & Catering Review Gold Medal Awards, but it was also crowned “Ireland’s Leading Boutique Hotel” at the 2022 World Travel Awards and “Hotel of the Year” at the Ulster Tatler Awards.

Brian Baldwin CEO of Castle Leslie Estate said: “To receive these four awards in one year is wonderful. I couldn’t be prouder. My team at Castle Leslie Estate are what makes this all happen. The hard work and commitment that they give to each guest to make their experience a magical one is commendable. Their passion for delivering an incredible experience and the drive they have to offer a superior customer service is palpable. To receive these recognitions as one of the best hotels on the island of Ireland makes it all worth it!”

Nestled on 1,000 acres of undulating Irish countryside, dotted with ancient woodlands and glittering lakes, Castle Leslie Estate is one of the last great Irish estates still in the hands of its founding family. The Leslie Family arrived in Ireland in the 16th century and bought the Estate at that time. Today, this Irish estate is led and managed by Sammy Leslie and protected by the Leslie Foundation. Sammy considers herself to be a guardian of the land and has an overwhelming desire to protect the Estate for future generations.

Located in Glaslough, County Monaghan, Castle Leslie Estate is just 80 minutes from Dublin and 60 minutes from Belfast. Following extensive restoration over the past three decades, Sammy and her team have transformed the Estate back to its original glory. Today, this beautiful Irish estate boasts a variety of accommodation, dining options and a diverse range of pursuits and activities for guests to enjoy!
