Castle Leslie Estate in County Monaghan is one of the last great Irish Castle estates still in the hands of its founding family.  Since the 1660s, the Leslie family has lived on the estate, welcoming everyone from politicians to poets. The estate is only 80 minutes from Dublin and 60 minutes from Belfast. The Castle, at the heart of the Estate, offers old-style hospitality and is a complete respite from the world. The Lodge is the social hub of the estate and brings locals and guests together in an atmosphere of conviviality and comfort.  The Old Stable Mews is the perfect spot for groups that want the convenience of hotel living combined with private self catering.
