The story
A Restored Leitrim Castle Above the Lough
Lough Rynn Castle is a restored 19th-century castle hotel at the southern tip of County Leitrim, on the banks of Lough Rynn and close to the Roscommon border. It was the ancestral home of the Clements family and the legendary Lord Leitrim. The estate covers over 300 acres, including walled gardens with a Round Tower, woodland paths and open lawns. Inside, the Baronial Hall has bay windows over the lough and an Inglenook fireplace described as one of the largest in the country, while the John McGahern Library and the Dungeon Bar offer quieter corners. Sligo is an hour away.
For weddings, up to 360 guests can have the entire castle estate. Arrival drinks are served on the front lawns or beside a log fire, and the Sandstone Restaurant and award-winning kitchen provide the wedding meal. Couples can choose a wedding suite among the castle bedrooms, and self-catering lodges stand a two-minute walk from the castle. Civil ceremonies are held at the castle, and couples are chauffeured by golf buggy around the grounds and gardens for photographs. Winter and midweek wedding packages sit alongside the standard all-inclusive offer. The castle was named Overall Venue of the Year 2025 by WeddingsOnline.
