Lough Eske Castle has a long history which is wrapped in the story of Co Donegal and Ireland. It is a story of being carved piece by piece from local stone carried by Clydesdale horses along specially constructed roadways. It is a tale of being won, lost, ruined and restored. Powerful 14th century clans of Donegal the O’Donnells had their seat here, wealthy landowners ruled from here and Edwardian glamour was played out. In 1861 the new Lough Eske Castle, as we know it today, was built on the site of the old Brooke Mansion. Always a place for entertaining international guests since 1861, Lough Eske Castle remains full of warm Donegal hospitality today as it did over 150 years ago.
The Donegal Suites sleep up to two adults and two children, either with an open plan layout or featuring a separate living room and bedroom space. As the name indicates, the Donegal Suites benefit from unique touches from the local area, including a handmade Magee Tweed wall, made only 15 minutes from Lough Eske Castle. Bathrooms feature marble tiling, twin wash basins, free standing roll top bath and separate rainforest shower. For more information, click here.
