Castle Leslie Estate’s imperious frontage presides over a rich land of forests, meadows, and lakes in the picturesque northern stretch of County Monaghan. This fruitful region nurtured the imagination of famed poet Patrick Kavanagh, drawing from his pen vivid depictions of mountainous landscapes and village communities. The countryside’s green swathes are speckled with quaint period houses, standing sentry between townships of clustered terraces, solemn chapels, and busy market squares.

Guesting duos can make themselves at home at The Lodge, navigating the cut stone of this converted stable to reach an individually styled room, complete with an LCD television, walkin shower, and a freestanding Victorian bath tub. Getting the stay off to a fizzy beginning, visitors can pop open a bottle of bubbly, before employing a selection of White Company bath products to create a ‘Bubbles More Bubbles’ experience by candlelight. After unpacking, weary travelers can unwind the old fashioned way, and enjoy access to either an outdoor hot tub or speciallydesigned Victorian steam boxes to complement the full range of spa treatments available. Early risers can get their fill of a full Irish breakfast, providing bundles of energy for a day spent travelling or perhaps exploring the surrounding countryside on horseback. When booking, guests will also have a nifty choice between late checkout until 1.30pm or an upgrade to a superior room. Groupon Recommends Rambling enthusiasts may like to exercise their boots across the 25 mile Sliabh Beagh Way, negotiating the mountains and hills of the “Three County Hollow” to enjoy sweeping views of the lakes, bogs, and marshlands. A glimpse into the region’s heritage can be found at Monaghan County Museum in Monaghan Town, where annual exhibitions and events covering subjects which range from geographic to military history can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. A trip into the scenic Dartrey Forest will reward lovers of architecture with the sight of temple modeled on the Pantheon of Rome. Secluded on an island of a local lake, the structure is considered by conservationists to be one of the most important 18th century buildings in Ireland. Transport Car Glaslough is north of Monaghan Town, just over 90 minutes’ drive from Dublin city centre on the M1/N2 or just over 2 hours’ drive from Athlone, Co Westmeath on the N55. Groupon Top Tip Monaghan boasts a rich literary heritage; bookworms should make a beeline for the birthplaces of Patrick Kavanagh, Thomas Bracken and Patrick McCabe.

Caste Leslie is by far the most beautiful place I have ever stayed in. Fabulous unique bedrooms, top quality food, amazing service, picturesque grounds and fantastic spa facilities, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The dinner was one of the best Ive had in any restaurant, and the breakfast was delicious with a huge variety both in the buffet and cooked options. – Ro346, TripAdvisor, Dec 2011 The lodge is set in beautiful grounds, and although it was fully booked it was very quiet. There were lots of walks and the village of Glaslough is beautiful. – Jane, booking.com, Aug 2011 Groupon voucher  Travel  Accommodation  Hotels  Travel Getaways  Hotels Getaways Further deals in this category 1. One Night Getaway For Two With Either a Round of Golf or Ytsara Facial Each for €110 at the AwardWinning Knightsbrook Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort Up To €310 Value 2. Indulge Yourself and a Loved One With One Night at The Absolute Hotel Spa, Four Course Dinner, A Bottle of Wine, and A Full Irish Breakfast for Two for €110 instead of €314 3. One Night Stay For Two With Wine On Arrival, Breakfast and Late Checkout for €55 at the Oakwood Arms Hotel, Co.
