In the heart of Lough Eske Castle, some of our favourite stories are told in the details.

We recently rediscovered an original walnut table that once stood in the castle. After carefully polishing it back to life, its rich grain and character are shining again. It now has pride of place at our reception, welcoming guests as they arrive, a beautiful link between the castle’s past and every new memory made today.
