03/07/2026: We just finished our trip, and we all agreed that, of all the places we visited—Paris, Amsterdam, and Ireland—Castle Leslie was the highlight. Every detail of the estate felt intentional and personal. The attention to detail was extraordinary, and the interior design throughout the property was incredible. We stayed in the Mews, while my parents stayed in the Lodge. The thoughtful breakfast basket each morning, filled with fresh Irish bread, homemade jams, fruit, and other treats, was such a wonderful touch. Our cottage was fully equipped with a washer and dryer and every appliance we needed, making it feel like a true home away from home. Dinner at Snaffles and afternoon tea were both absolutely perfect. The staff were incredible—warm, attentive, and clearly worked tirelessly to make every guest feel welcome. This was our first visit, and next time we'll be sure to book the falconry, archery, and horseback riding well in advance. One tip for future visitors: check the wedding schedule before you book to make sure the castle will be open during your stay. We especially loved walking home to the Mews after dinner each evening and taking our daily walks around the lake. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Castle Leslie for making our stay so memorable. Your warmth, hospitality, and attention to every detail made this a truly unforgettable experience. We can't wait to return in the future.

01/07/2026: An absolute joy staying here. The staff is all so incredibly kind, the Lodge, Castle and grounds are all stunning. And the bar had some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had.

27/09/2026: They put way too much buffalo on the fries... completely inedible! The pint was good and the pizza looked good!

09/09/2026: I had the pleasure of attending an event at Adamsons Bar recently and staying in the newly furnished inn upstairs. For the bar: The pizza and wings are delicious. We had a few different styles of pizza while we were attending the event and it was so good, we ordered a Hawaiian for our room the next day. Excellent selection of beer, wine, ciders and liquor. The service has small town charm with big city professionalism. For the Inn: The rooms are incredibly comfortable, albeit on the cozy size - but this is to be expected for a facility of this age and history. The showers had excellent water pressure and it is clear that there was no expenses spared in the recent renovations. We especially liked all of the bits of history about both the inn and Clones framed on the walls outside each room and in the hallways. Ross made sure we were content, comfortable and well taken care of all with a smile on his face. Before we arrived, he sent me a document with the door codes, local amenities (shout out to the Bean Box!) and instructions on which room we would be in. He made sure to find us in the pub on our first night, introduce himself and made himself available by phone should we need anything. No ask we had seemed to be an issue. The shared kitchen facility and living room area were incredible with a very nice coffee machine, dishes, double basket air fryer, full stove/oven, big screen tv and a rooftop patio with brand new decking. Should we find our way back to Clones from Canada, I will absolutely be sending Ross a message and trying to secure the Drovers room once again.
