Day 1: Dublin

ITALY/DUBLIN/MONAGHAN (-/-/-D)
We offer you an equestrian stay at the beautiful private estate of Castle Leslie, located in County Monaghan, set on 1,000 acres of rolling Irish countryside, dotted with ancient woodlands and sparkling lakes. Castle Leslie Estate is one of the last great Irish castle estates still in the hands of its founding family. Since 1660, the Leslie family has lived in the castle estate, hosting everyone from politicians to poets, ambassadors to UFO enthusiasts, transforming their home into one of the best hotels Ireland has to offer.
The Castle, located at the heart of the estate, offers its guests a nostalgic atmosphere, with authentic furnishings and very “English” hospitality. A paradise of tranquility, where you won’t find TVs, radios, or minibars in the bedrooms. The castle features twenty unique bedrooms and bathrooms: whether your idea of paradise is a romantic boudoir designed with relaxation and privacy in mind, or a bright room decorated in rich, deep colors, you will find accommodations to suit your taste!
We also have the Lodge, the social hub of the estate, which brings together locals and guests in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. It has 29 rooms, each faithful to the original building's structure, and includes the Old Stable Mews and Village Houses.
The Castle Leslie Equestrian Centre is the perfect place for a horseback holiday in Ireland. It is ideal for those seeking adventure in an idyllic environment for horse lovers: over a thousand acres of gentle hills, parks, and lakes to explore on horseback. We combine fun and exciting cross-country trails with relaxing countryside walks. One of the most beautiful places in Europe, offering equestrian experiences for all levels. Castle Leslie Estate is the place for you!
