LOUGH RYNN CASTLE AND ESTATE
Lough Rynn Castle Estate and Hotel, Leitrim, Ireland is the original 19th Century Home of the Clements Family, which was headed by the legendary figure of Lord Leitrim. This is an incredible development comprising a luxury 42 bedroomed Hotel together with a World Class Spa and Leisure facility and a Championship Golf Course designed by Nick Faldo due for completion in Summer 2009.
The entire facility comprises over 300 acres of an Ireland that is idyllic, rich in history and charmed with natural beauty.
Lough Rynn Castle Estate has so many interesting features that people have been coming here for years to roam the lands. But by the time it has been completely restored, Lough Rynn Castle Estate will be something else entirely. An estate which was once the finest in Leitrim is becoming one of the finest in the country. While the setting is amazing, the luxury castle hotel is on a par with anything Ireland has to offer and the Championship Golf Course is the first Nick Faldo designed course in the Republic of Ireland. The gardens will be soon back to their former glory and be arguably the finest privately owned gardens in the country.
As you approach the castle, you will pass the elegant fairways, copses and paddocks, past two lakes and over a rustic bridge. The estate has pockets of development, each of which is hidden from the others so that you are constantly surprised as you explore.
When complete, the facilities on Lough Rynn Castle Estate will include:
- Conference and Wedding Facilities
- World Class Spa with Treatment Rooms (due for completion in 2009)
- A leisure centre with indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna (due for completion in 2009)
- The finest privately owned gardens in the country with nature trails and lakeside walks
- A square mile of lake, and an abundance of local lakes for boating and fishing
- Horse riding and other country pursuits

GOLF
Lough Rynn Golf Course is being designed by Nick Faldo, the most successful Ryder Cup player of all time (he has played in more matches, and won more points than any other player in history) and winner of 42 international titles. Nick had about 150 acres around Lough Errew (just metres from Lough Rynn) on which to design his course. The setting is breathtaking as the course takes players all of the way around the lake, over rivers, through woodland and rolling parkland, past 200 year old oak trees and a prehistoric Dolmen. The Clubhouse will be hidden in the trees near the gates to the castle and will be home to another restaurant and bar together with changing and club facilities. The course is due to open towards the end of 2008.

Lough Rynn’s opulent Moroccan-themed Spa is due to open in 2009 with 15 treatment rooms and calming relaxation areas. There will also be a leisure centre with gym, 18m swimming pool and feature pool.
