About us

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 Brian Baldwin and Sammy Leslie and guarded by The Leslie Foundation. Sammy considers herself to be a guardian of the land, and her overwhelming desire is 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, the family has transformed the Estate to its original glory. Today, this beautiful Irish estate boasts a variety of accommodation at The Castle, The Lodge and the Old Stable Mews and includes multiple dining options and a diverse range of on and off-site activities. It is full of character, characters and personality and is the ultimate Irish rural escape- perfect for anyone looking to get away from it all and experience something really different!

Samantha Leslie, guardian of the estate; 

“Our family’s ethos has always been one of creativity and curiosity, openness and sharing, of innovation and entrepreneurship, of sensitivity and working with, of involvement and teamwork. With 1000 years of Leslie family history recorded it is my great honour to be the one tasked with bringing a unique and important part of Ireland’s living heritage through to the future.
