Castlecoote
House is an early Georgian Palladian mansion built within the
enclosure of the 16th castle which had fallen into ruins, overlooking
the beautiful River Suck. . In the basement tower rooms, musket
chambers still overlook the entrance steps. It is surrounded
by woodland and the pastoral countryside of County Roscommon,
Ireland.
Built
circa 1690, in 1989 it was destroyed by fire. Since 1997 it
has been lovingly restored by some of Ireland's finest craftsmen.
The result is a romantic hideaway which combines elegant 18th
century architecture, beautiful Georgian features, fine plasterwork
ceilings and marble fireplaces with 21st century luxuries -
whirlpool spa baths, under floor heating and ISDN lines in every
room. Outside are beautifully landscaped grounds. Take a stroll
along by the river savoring the tranquillity, or perambulate
through the orchard enjoying the rare apple trees, castle ruins
and mill race walls. The River Suck is renowned for its coarse
and trout fishing. For the more active, there are two tennis
courts and a croquet pitch. Walking and horse riding are available
locally and there are two 18 hole golf courses nearby.
