It is situated on the old Dublin entrance to Castletown House, now a quiet country lane. It is far removed from the hustle and bustle of normal every day life. A perfect place to relax while still being able to get in to Dublin city within an hour.

  • Sleeps 2 people. Double Room.
  • Welcomes 1 pet.

This was our third stay in the last couple of years and it didn't disappoint. The walks are fantastic and it's proximity to Celbridge village is excellent. It was amazing staying there during the storm. We will definitely be back a fourth time.

Thank you for your review and your hidden site note to explain your score of 3 for comfort. I can confirm the bathroom with the cute mini bath is being replaced with a more practical shower in November 2024. We cant wait to welcome you back to see this lovely improvement.

We loved our stay in Batty Langley.
The house is an oasis of comfort..
The parkland is gorgeous.
A pity we can't see the house!

Batty Langley is beautiful.

Thank you Breda.

Not much to say. Certainly nothing to criticise. Sadly, this thing requires me to fill in 100 characters so I had better keep typing for a while

We've had a truly wonderful stay at Batty Langley Lodge!
It was a privilege to be able to call it our home for a few days, very well done, Irish Landmark Trust.
The house itself, the very beautiful surroundings ànd Breda's most friendly and dedicated hospitality made it a great succes!
Thanks again and hope to be back some day...

This is really beautiful building in an equally beautiful setting. It is well maintained and there is great love in the details. Only small downside was the shower, which wouldn't give you any hot water once you lift the shower handle above waistline, not enough pressure on the hot water pipe. But this is a really minor inconvenience compared to the the great pleasure we had staying in this building.
In nearby Celbridge there is a very reasonable choice for food and drinks and Breda, who is a lovely host, provided us with all kinds of helpful information.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our days at Batty Langley Lodge. The Irish Trust has done a great job balancing the charm of the 18th century with modern day amenities like a shower and washer! Breda (our host) was very helpful and came right away when we contacted her about a smoke detector "chirping". She had an electrician in that same day to correct the issue. We were impressed! She offered suggestions of things to do and made certain there was tea and milk upon arrival!!

Thank you for a great review of this very unique and probably quirkiest of our properties. We do have plans for some updating inside this property once we can find the right trades, but unfortunately this does not include the very tight staircase, which came from a very special historic source. Breda is a super House Manager and cares for this property and its guests so well!

Thank you for your review on this amazing local landmark building, your score on value for money is concerning, your stay as a couple was €165.00 per night, very competitive compared to a double room in a nearby hotel in this area just 20 minutes from Dublin city centre.

A lovely place to stay!

Thank you for your review. I'm disappointed with your value for money score, this is a unique property with bags of history and character in a prime location, for less than what you would pay for those nights in the centre of Dublin. As a charity we keep our prices very competitive and as not for profit company, the rental price just covers our costs.

We loved our stay in Batty, it was quant & cute & perfect for a romantic weekend away. Breda was lovely to deal with, she gave us loads of helpful tips for places to visit & eat in Celbridge & we thought it was a real hidden gem. We loved having Castletown estate on our doorstep & we had lovely strolls in the park every evening. We would highly recommend Batty Langley Lodge.

We had the lucky chance of booking this petite little gem last minute and loved our stay. Felt like a Jane Austen character should step in and have an afternoon tea with you at any given moment. The lodge is a very calm place and yet, close to both the small towns of Celbridge and Leixlip too find anything you need from public transport to restaurants. The park has many lovely little walks and spots to spend some time in soaking up the peace and relaxation. Breda the caretaker is lovely and took great care of us as well. We will for sure come back, and this time bring our historic wardrobe!

Firstly Breda was wonderful, so full of information and lovely with it, she really made the stay wonderful. The lodge is beautiful and very comfortable, we have a peaceful and relaxing stay and I can't find fault with anything. Staying at a Landmark Trust property is always a wonderful experience, unique and quirky all at once. Will definitely be back.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my dog Charlie. We had a lovely time and the access straight onto the grounds of Castletown house was amazing. We took many short walks into the forest and down to the river for a paddle as well as around the estate.
Charlie is a bit older and did struggle on the stairs at night so just a warning if you've got an older dog but we managed with the use of treats :).
The lodge itself is lovely and cosy in the evening with the fire going and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a short break not far from Dublin.

Thank you for your lovely review. Poor Charlie - our Dog Policy does state that dogs are not allowed upstairs in our properties, the stairs at Batty Langley are made from wood sourced from Castletown House and they are very steep due to the nature of this building, just as well there were some fabulous walks for him straight outside! I hope you can bring Charlie to another of our properties again soon, hopefully a property with no old staircase, Killee Cottage or Railway Crossing Cottage would suit him well.

This is our 4th Landmark Trust property to stay at and it did not disappoint. Breda, the house manager, is right to be proud of this quirky, unique folly on the grounds of Castletown House. We loved sitting by the solid wood stove in the evenings having cooked dinner in the well stocked kitchen. The bed was very comfortable and the view onto the river Liffey through the 3 ornate windows is to die for. Lots of local walks were enjoyed with Fred our Schnauzer who loved meeting all the dogs on the estate. 30 minutes from Dublin and lots of places to explore locally like the Grand Canal, Lyons Estate, Carton Estate, The Wonderful Barn...... looking forward to coming back.

Thank you for your great review and trying out a new property. This is a most stunning Gothic building on the edge of the Castletown Estate and a perfect holiday for your dog to enjoy some long scenic walks. I hope you can try another of our dog friendly properties again soon, I highly recommend Drum Gatelodge on the outskirts of Bushmills, there are some lovely beach walks a short drive away.

Really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful building. Being able to walk around the grounds of Castletown before breakfast (and before anyone else!) is amazing. This is an ideal spot for a quiet getaway and really enjoyed the absence of TV and broadband! The lodge mysteriously felt like home the instant we arrived, very comfortable with everything we needed. The house manager, Breda, was super helpful and gave us loads of information.

This is the first time we’ve stayed in an Irish Landmark Trust property, but having experienced it we’ll certainly visit some of the others. It really is a special experience - its not just about the accommodation, so you can’t compare it to a hotel or AirB&B.
Also, will definitely return to Batty Langley Lodge and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants a few days away from the noise of everyday life, in a quirky but comfortable setting with amazing views and surroundings.

Myself and my husband stayed here for 3 nights at the end of June this year. We wanted to experience it in the winter and it did not dissapoint. Such a cosy house and when we arrived Breda the house manager was there to welcome us, she had the heat on and the fire was ready to light. We will definitely return again next year. We had a lovely meal in the village inn on the Friday night, a lovely meal in Michaelangelos on the Sunday night and a lovely breakfast in the whistling pig on the Monday morning before we went home.

Batty Langley Lodge was a real surprise. Its location, on the banks of the River Liffey and walking distance from Castletown House and the nearby village, means that it is easy to explore on foot. The history of the building and the area is described in books in the lodge.

We smile when we look of the photos of Batty Langley. What a great location on the grounds of Castletown House and/or Park! The house is a little treasure, full of charm, history, and even a view from the front room of the historic Liffy. As a guest, we enjoyed being in the house, sitting in the garden area and generally found the house comfortable and easy to use. The Overseer was easy to work with in terms of communicating about our stay, setting meeting times and she gave us a great briefing on using the house. The location on the park grounds lent itself to a walk through the park to Celbridge, a delightful tour of the Castletown House and even a restful stop in the cafe for a hot tea. We loved the number of trails we could walk, also we often commented on the gift to the larger community that the Castletown grounds provided--there were always people walking, jogging, meeting friends and generally using this wonderful space. The house is very cosy, we built a fire in the wood stove, more to enjoy the ambiance than the need for heat!! Once again, the Irish Trust has done a nice job of restoring the house, furnishing the home and providing all the needs of a working kitchen and creating a unique experience. The location near Celbridge and Leixlip was convenient, in addition, for us a 30 minute drive to the Dublin Airport was a plus. We will look to booking Batty Langley again when we next are in the Dublin area. It is a place not to be missed!

This is just such a wonderful place to stay. A completely unique property, you will not see the like of it again. To be able to stay in this magical place is a dream come true. We were surprised that were so much to see and do in Celbridge – we made the most of it thanks to Breda the House Manaager. We didn’t get round to seeing everything and hope to come back again.

Batty Langley Lodge sits at the end of a lane that is popular with walkers and runners as it provides access to Castletown Parklands. It has everything that you need for a peaceful and restful stay and even a nice little garden that your dog can safely enjoy.
Its location gives great access to walking and site seeing, with a plentiful supply of coffee shops and eateries within a 15 minute drive. We enjoyed coffee and scones in the Castletown House coffee shop each morning.
The information on the history of the lodge was interesting to read and being able to browse the range of books in the house was a delight. We even completed a complicated jiogsaw that was under the coffee table.
This is our 2nd stay at a landmark property and this one didnt appear to be as well cared for as the previous, with some poor repairs and a bit of work needed on the bathroom. However we had a great stay and were very relaxed thanks to a comfortable bed and all the facilities we needed.

Thank you for your lovely review of Batty Langley Lodge. Now that the heavy summer bookings are over, we are waiting for an external inspection before we repaint the internal areas of the lodge. This is an important part of our process for this old heritage property to ensure we correct any external damage that can cause possible damp areas internally before repainting. The internal condition for our guests is very important to us, we hope guests understand this process with our old buildings and that this not neglect on our part. The bathroom will be fully refitted in the very near future.

In terms of beauty, the location is ideal for walkers, joggers, etc. Access to the park is unlimited. Although walking to the property from Celbridge is possible, one would need a car or taxi to transport luggage and supplies. The property is good for very short stays. The lack of places to unpack are almost non-existent so one lives out of a suitcase which loses its appeal after a very short time. Bathroom needs some work now with a faulty toilet giving us some difficulty. Parking on site.

Thank you for your review. This is a beautiful property for nature lovers and dog walkers. Most of our landmark properties are rural and it is advised on our website the individual properties you will need your own transport to get there. There is a long stool to unpack from next to a chest of drawers to store your personal belongings. We are currently getting quotes to replace the toilet immediately as we are finding, after many maintenance repairs, the cistern is still taking too long to refill. We are in the process of quoting to completely update the bathroom, as small and cute as it is, it is just not working for our guests anymore.

Wonderful quirky building and unique location, couple of wee improvements needed.

We had quite a lovely stay at the Lodge, however the location is a busy one with people running walking though the park gates adjacent, there were cars parked every hour outside the lodge, level with the kitchen window, and folks who set up a spot for a picnic under the livingroom window on two occasions and then ones staying late into the evening with music, so if you want complete privacy and quiet this may not be the place for you. It isn't in too bad state for its age but perhaps time for another renovation too as some things are looking a little tired, the bathroom specifically. The other thing that dampened it was the temporary industrial fencing outside the window, it sort of ruined the view a bit. Other than that the lodge is quirky and an interesting place to stay, the wood burner was lovely, and once the park gates were closed at 10 it was a peaceful place to sit and read in front of the fire. It was nice to be on the estate and to be able to visit the big house too. If you like a lay in be prepared for the quad bike and reversing beeps at 6 am when they open the gates! I would give a 3.5 out of 5.

Thank you for your review. This very hidden lodge at the far end the Castletown Estate has been very popular this year with walkers. Please inform Breda the local House Manager if passers by are causing concern and she can get the Estate security to move them on. As an OPW site we are unable to prevent locals from parking at these gates, as it is a small closed entrance you would think they would choose the more popular Celbridge entrance. The riverside walk work has been happening for over a year, I will follow up on the metal fencing they erected next to the property and see if it can be removed temporarily until they are ready to resume work next to the lodge. The bathroom rennovation is in our planned maintenance programme, when we finalise the funding hopefully this will be completed within the next few months.

Breda was a wonderful host and provided us so many information such as places to eat, things to do and most important the history of the place and village.

From the very first call with the most amazing host Breda, I knew we were going to have a wonderful stay at the lodge. Breda was so lovely to deal with, she was kind & generous in every way. On meeting us at the lodge, she was warm & open & gave us some great information about the properties history & the surrounding area. She was always on hand & offered solutions for everything...

The property itself excedded our expectations!

We had an unforgetable stay!

A wonderful little Gothick lodge overlooking the landscaped gardens, with the River Liffey running through them. Breda who welcomed us could not have been more friendly and helpful. We visited Maynooth and Celbridge, had a tour of Castletown House, and enjoyed an Irish-Italian dinner at Michelangelo's restaurant (all of these all close by). Great fun!

Breda was amazing and so was the house. We'd love to come back here again later in the year too. We didn't have a car but that didn't bother us too much. The shops are 20 minutes away and the walk anywhere was so nice.

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary weekend in this wonderful cottage. Everything about it is charming if you love quaint old cottages full of dreams. Highlights included bat watching, taking in the peace and wondering at the architecture. The early summer walks and paddling in the river were wonderful, followed by the delights of Celbridge and lunch at the pub of Arthur Guinness' birth. As ever with Irish Landmark Trust there was plenty of good reading and some board games too. Thanks also to Breda who did all she could to make it such a wonderful weekend for us and our children, who joined us on our last day. We'd love to come back!

Batty Langley was a great find. We had the dog with us and the park was ideal. The house had everything we needed for 4 as some friends came for supper (easy from Dublin on the bus). Location was great lots to do locally. House manager Breda was very helpful and easy to contact (even though we didn't meet as there was no need). Highly recommend. The history of the house and park was very interesting.

We loved our stay in Batty Langly Lodge. Waking up to the sound of birds singing every morning and having the use of Castletown Park by day was fab. Breda was a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area and things to see and do, even the best places to eat. We brought our dog with us and he loved the park and settled easily in the house too. The shower/ bath is a little cramped but to be expected for the age of the property. Batty itself has lots of original features and we loved the fact that they provide a guide and binoculars for spotting the bats. Overall, we would highly recommend it as a great truly dog friendly location

Thank you for your lovely review. Breda is a tour guide so her knowledge of great places to go is an asset for this property and its surrounding great places to go. The Castletown Park is great for dogs and very popular with dog walkers. There is no way to fit the bathroom layout any better due to the size it is, this is a feature of the property and adds to its quirky experience.

A beautiful and unique property, and extremely friendly and helpful host. Once you learn to ignore all the people staring in at the windows (there are "privacy" signs, but it appears no one heeds them), it's cozy and delightful to sit by the fire and read--and quiet as a church on a Monday morning. The grounds of the estate are wonderful for walking, and the resident bats make for fascinating live "TV."
An upgrade to the bathroom would be very nice to have.

We had a great stay in the lodge and spent our weekend exploring Castletown House, its grounds and the nearby towns. Breda gave us some great suggestions for things to do in the surrounding area too! The lodge itself was in great condition and we found it to be very comfortable and quiet. It is also well connected by bus to Dublin, with a bus stop that will take you to the city centre being just a 10 minute walk away. There are some lovely places to eat in Celbridge/Leixlip and we can really recommend the lodge for a relaxing and pleasant weekend.

We only downgraded the comfort category because the bedroom was on the 2nd floor and required navigating a narrow spiral staircase, not so easy for us 70+ year-olds. Also, the bath was a bit old and cramped but that is expected and adds to the charm.
We otherwise found the property just fine and enjoyed walking around the adjacent Castletown grounds. We've stayed in English National Trust cottages for decades and this one was very good: We did not miss TV or internet [as is found in some NT cottages] and liked the interaction with the house manager, something the NT does not do. [There's a contact person for problems but one does not routinely meet that person.]
The location near Celbridge was great as a central area to explore around Dublin, to drive to the airport, and to get into the city on the C4 or express bus.
We did not cook in the lodge but it looked well equipped.

Thank you for your lovely review. Due to being a listed property we cannot change any original internal features like the lovely old staircase or the size of the bathroom. We have left these characterful features in place so our guests can experience the real experience of living in the past but with all the modern comforts. This is a magical building unlike any other!

A wonderful site.

Major road works in area, restricted our access to shops and local area in general. We made severe attempts to access Batty Langley lodge with directions provided prior to contacting the house manager for help. The bedroom was large enough to install a larger double, which would have been more comfortable. Otherwise the area where house is situated is superb.

We really enjoyed the "olde worlde" charm of the lodge in the natural surrounds of Castletown House. It was like stepping back into another era, with almost present day facilities. The lodge was very cosy and quaint had a good area for jogging. Breda was a "font" of knowledge and very helpful. We have enjoyed each property belonging to to the Landmark Trust that we've stayed in.

Batty Langley is just charming and in a great location for walking and wildlife, or a 10 minute dash into Celbridge. The layout of the sitting room and kitchen are ideal, and make for a very comfortable stay. The bedroom with its quirky windows is a treat too. The decor and and furniture enhance the comfort and charm - we could have stayed for weeks.

We had a fantastic stay in Batty Langley Lodge. A lovely, atmospheric, olde worlde feel to the house in an excellent location, within easy, enjoyable, riverside walking distance of Celbridge through Castletown Estate. Celbridge is a beautiful heritage town where we met friendly, interesting people over the weekend and visited quirky shops. A special thanks to Lodge Host, Breda, who was so helpful to us over the weekend, including arranging with our friends to get delivery of flowers from them to my wife for a special birthday. She also gave us excellent suggestions on great places to visit during our stay as well as Restaurants, etc. She really contributed to our really enjoyable visit.

Can't recommend this highly enough. The lodge itself is a beautiful mix of old world architecture and modern convenience. It was a warm and cozy refuge in the depths of winter. And the surrounding grounds made for very nice strolls in the January sunshine. Breda is a wealth of knowledge and couldn't have been more helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer. It's nice that Celbridge is only a short walk through the Castletown estate.

No TV or Internet to distract us from the gorgeous grounds and amazing books to read by the fire.

Really relaxed stay. House well located and grounds of Castletown lovely for walks. Central heating a bonus.

Some tiny attention to detail would have helped the experience. No cooking oil in the kitchen, no rubber gloves although leaving the house generally clean is expected, one spare toilet roll!, one fire lighter and two logs for two days and nights. A box of firelighters was left over 2nd night but no logs. Manager assumed there were some but hadn't checked. A second outside chair would have been nice given it's a house for two. These are all small inexpensive things and easy to fix for future guests. Overall a lovely place and enjoyable weekend.

We had a lovely couple of days at this unique and atmospheric gate lodge. The house is charming with gorgeous period features and is very cosy and comfortable. Breda sent excellent directions which helped us find the way very easily. We thoroughly enjoyed walks in the estate grounds and bat spotting at night! It was very quiet and peaceful at night and the surroundings are beautiful. The house has everything you need for a relaxing stay including a little library and plenty of logs for the stove which enhanced the cosy atmosphere. A delightful property!

I can highly recommend a stay in Batty Langley. It is simply a beautiful treasure at a glorious location. Breda, the manager, was so welcoming and enthusiastic about the history of the estate and the wildlife to be seen around the house. There was a bat detector there for our use which was very exciting. She also gave us valuable information on the cultural activities that were being held during our stay. Batty Langley looks small from the outside but is spacious and very comfortable inside. Tastefully restored, and surrounded by meadows and trees, It was a privilege to have been able to stay there and we hope to return.

Fantastic, atmospheric location and building. Truely relaxing and an escape from rushed, busy every day life. Definitely recommend for those wanting to disconnect and decompress for a few days.
Providing some basic staples would allow full use of the facilities as guests arrive. A little bread, butter, milk, cooking oil, washing powder, etc. Otherwise well equipped and presented.
Overall a fantastic secret getaway on Dublin's doorstep. Sit back; read a book, drink some wine, enjoy the silence.

We had a memorable stay in Batty Langley Lodge and thanks to Breda we managed to see hidden gems close by aswell as the birth and final resting plase of Arthur Guinness.

The house was well worth a visit aswell as the coffee shop and gardens.

Lovely river and park walks.

We were able to travel into the city by bus as Celbridge is only 20 mins walk through the park.

Could find nothing to fault

We had an amazing two days in Batty Langley. The place itself is gorgeous, as are the grounds. The house is well equipped and ideal for a relaxing couple of days away. The house manager Breda couldn’t have been nicer to us, she was a lady. We loved every minute and hope to be back soon.

We booked this cottage two and a half years ago, in combination with Annes Grove Miniature Castle in Co. Cork for five days before our stay here and there after a stay in The Midlands (1 Lichfield Lodge, Shugborough Estate, NT). But because of the Covid travel restrictions (we live in The Netherlands) we had to postpone twice, including the ferries. Thanks to the kind cooperation of the Irish Landmark Trust, The National Trust (and the somewhat lesser kind cooperation of P&O & Irish Ferries) we managed to transfer the whole arrangement to 2022. It was worth the trouble, did I write already in the review of Annes Grove Miniature Castle, because even more than that cottage, this cottage is a holiday on its own. The view from the living room through the neogothic windows! And, like I wrote already in my review of Anes Grove Miniature Castle: please Irish Landmark Trust, do not ever refurbish in a modern nondescript Ikae/global hotel room style. The worn aspect of the furniture and the like adds to the sense of history of the place.

Had a great few days on the grounds of Castletown Estate. Batty Langley is a little haven of peace and restfulness. We really relaxed and walked the grounds 2/3 times a day. You felt like you were in a world of your own. Did a house tour of Castletown House and very informative and interesting. We had a little puppy and it was a great location to let him off the lead and socialize with other dogs. Batty Langley is unique and kept as close as possible to its original design. Really enjoyable weekend.

We had the most wonderful time at charming Batty Langley! It really is like a tiny faery castle! The cottage was very cozy and well appointed. Whoever did the decorating did an amazing job! We enjoyed using the kitchen, and reading in the parlor with light from those magnificent windows! The park grounds were heavenly and great fun to see all the people with their dogs and children having a great time! We took the Castletown tour and we’re very glad we did!

We have stayed at Landmark Trusts before. Batty Langley Lodged exceeded our expectations. We didn't realize how much beauty there is surrounding it. We enjoyed one of the most beautiful walks of our lives on the Castletown grounds right outside the door. There's an ancient burial mound, river, swans, ducks, other wildlife, pavilion, ruins, and just too many beautiful things to list here. The hostess, Breda, deserves a review on her own. We would stay probably anywhere that had a host like her and her dear husband. Our luggage had been lost by the airline and she went out of her way to help us....absolutely LOVELY human being and at a time when kindness couldn not be more important. The bedroom is gorgeous! The living room is gorgeous! There is a well-stocked library. The washer/dryer actually has a dryer, which many listings around the UK/Europe say they have, but end up only having a washer. This was important because we had no luggage and needed to wash our one outfits and dry them. There were fresh daffodils in a vase and peat blocks for the fire. Warm blankets and beauty all around. I wish we had more time. We are grateful for Breda and Landmark Trust for this heartwarming and special experience. Highly recommend and we are avid travelers!!! Book it while you can. No place is worth anything without a wonderful host/ess. Breda is a priceless hostess!

Beautiful building with great history. Peaceful and romantic with the bonus of the pubs and restaurants of Celbridge at the end of a lovely walk through the parkland estate.
Our host gave us a great welcome and a fascinating history of the gate lodge, the grounds and the “big house”.
Well done the Irish Landmark Trust for bringing the building back into use for others to enjoy.

Batty Langley's Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. It is full of character, warm and cosy and on the doorstep of the grounds of Castletown House and Gardens. The lodge is comfortable and well stocked with all the basics you will need for a short break including an ample supply of firewood. The absence of WiFi and TV is a bonus in the current climate and the grounds of the big house are perfect for a stroll or something more energetic if that's what you are looking for. The lodge is a short walk to the main street of Celbridge where there are a couple of lovely pubs for a bite or a pint. Teresa, the House Manager was very helpful and we were able to check in earlier and leave a bit later. There were a couple of very minor issues that relate to the age of the building more than anything and I imagine that the work in progress outside signifies further improvements to come. I would highly recommend this property for a total escape from reality and I will definitely stay in a Landmark Trust property again in the near future.

The location is perfect, with excellent restaurants a few minutes away in Celbridge or Leixlip. The property itself is lovely and you can open the side door directly into Castletown estate, which has lovely walks. It is so quiet at night, with no light pollution, allowing for a great night's sleep in a comfy bed.

We found the gatelodge to be very quaint in beautiful settings. The castletown estate is beautiful and we'll maintained. Unfortunately the house was closed during our visit bit he cafe was open (would recommend breakfast). Down in the town we discovered all sorts of wonderful historic treasures. The lodge itself is lovely but not greatly suited to those with mobility issues due to the uneven stairs and the bath is very small (sitting only!)wasn't an issue to us but may be for some. We also had the joy of rubberneckers peering through the windows (although who could blame them) be prepared for security opening and closing the gates to the estate (during our stay 6am and 10pm) the wee truck they use has a reverse beeper and is is right under the bedroom window. I would still recommend a stay.

The laneway to Batty Langly was easy to find and then parking in the little spot behind the lodge was easy. From there we relaxed in the beautiful living room. The lodge is at the edge of the castletown estate so we walked into Cellbridge to get the paper and grab a coffee after breakfast. The kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed. The Gothic living room and bedroom were beautiful and the bath was great for a relaxing afternoon bath.
A great place for a getaway, no tv, no wifi just time to relax together

No WiFi, poor reception, after a year of working from home, the detach I was looking for! Myself and my partner loved walking the grounds in sun, wind or rain. With Celbridge far enough away to feel isolation, but close enough to get your shopping bits without worry.

What a privilege to be able to stay in a gatehouse of such an impressive estate. I had 2 days/nights at Batty Langley Lodge and spent most of my time walking about the grounds, snoozing under a tree in the shade (July heatwave) and enjoying the lodge. Half a mornng was spent at Castletown House and gardens which are amazing. Walking about the meadows and down along the river is also grand. You really get the feeling of being a world away and reconnecting with nature. The lodge has everything you need for a basic short stay.

My husband and myself had a lovely two night stay. A beautiful place full of atmosphere set in the beautiful grounds of Castletown House. Waking up each morning with a fabulous view of the river. We saw plenty of wildlife sitting peacefully by the river from fish, ducks and a beautiful pair of kingfishers. We had lovely strolls around the grounds and into Celbridge which is a lovely town. Really enjoyed our stay.

The house was ready for us early which was great & the heating was on when we got there but the house was chilly that night,As it was straight after Christmas I assume that the house was empty for a couple of days with the heating off because the 2nd night it was lovely & cosy,,I'd take a hot water bottle if I was going in the winter.there was every utensil you'd need to cook,plenty of glasses,plates.The bed was comfortable,lovely views from the bedroom.Castletown house was only a few minutes walk away that you could get food in the cafe,we were there in a lockdown which meant we could only get a takeaway & the menu was limited but the food we had was very nice,the estate has lovely walks & even thou it was extremely cold & raining there was a lot of people out walking,Teresa the house manager was very helpful we discovered that we left something behind & she came to the house to open up so we could get it,such a lovely lady,I am most definitely going to visit again loved the house & location it was one of the most relaxing breaks I ever had,you can totally switch off,I'd 100% recommend a visit

We thoroughly enjoyed Batty Langley Lodge for our short break at Christmas the lodge was quirky with it's Gothic fascade. The place was maintained to a good standard with all the facilities required for a self catering stay.The icing on the cake was the log fire for the evening.

We were looking for something different to mark a 60th birthday during Kildare lockdown for Covid 19. The Batty Langley certainly was different and lovely walks in the Castletown estate, lit fire for chill in the evening it was a lovely to have a change of scenery, even though we did not live far away at all:)

We really enjoyed our three nights in Batty Langley Lodge but unfortunately everything was closed due to Covid 19. We had been looking forward to visiting Castletown House but we had some great walks in the grounds and visited the Wonderful Barn and Conolly's folly nearby. The lodge is in a great location and there would be lots to see and do in the area under normal circumstances. The lodge itself is quirky and very cosy, perfect for two and the dog! It was interesting reading about the history of the lodge and Castletown House demesne.

Beautiful + unique lodge in great location - lovely bike rides available along the nearby Canal.

I did think the quality of the interior could do with a new design and more up-to-date fittings; the current fit-out looks at least 20 years old, and neither matches nor adequately contrasts with the historic lodge building itself. For me it wasn't a problem, but it might be worth re-doing it if it's important to get recommendations from international visitors.

Having said that, the lack of TV and WiFi was a welcome relief. Lighting the stove with peat briquettes was a great pleasure.

Thank you so very much for supporting Irish Landmark Trust, a non-profit charity, in our aim to save, share and sustain some of Ireland's built heritage. Your stay helps us to continue in our mission and helps us to raise funds to continue to keep these properties open for the public to stay in. As a non-profit organisation it is not always possible to budget for the expense of fitting out properties every year but we do try to keep the interiors in keeping with the style of the property. I am sorry to hear that you feel that more up to date fittings would be nicer in this property as it would change the landmark experience. Regarding the condition of the interior, your notes will certainly be forwarded on for your Standards Officer to review and hopefully address some of the points you have kindly made. It is lovely to hear you appreciated our digital detox policy here at Irish Landmark Trust. We truly believe in stopping and escaping from the rush of the world outside, and taking time to relax and reconnect with friends and family.

We stay for two nights in this wonderfully peaceful spot. The property is beautiful and having all the amenities of Castletown house estate makes it extra special. We went to local history attractions (Conolly’s folly & the wonderful barn) explored the grounds, enjoyed the farms market at Castletown house and enjoyed our evening in by the fire. Would heartily recommendation if people are looking for a place to really relax and take a breather from the world.

What a beautiful quirky building that is comfy and full of character. We really enjoyed our two night stay. Did not wander beyond the grounds and village and spent the evenings in front of the fire. Would highly recommend. Well equipped, very clean. Bathroom is a little cramped and bath is small so be prepared, but what can you expect in such an old building. Theresa keeps it lovely and adds a few well appreciated extra's. We would highly recommend.

Bookings Officer for Irish Landmark Trust replied more than 1 year ago
Our buildings were made to the standards of earlier times – and in some cases without the intention that they should be lived in. Consequently, guests may encounter features that reflect their particular character but that deserve due care and attention, particularly by the young, elderly, less mobile or visually impaired. Examples of these are steps worn with age, uneven surfaces, low ceilings and beams, unexpected drops or changes in level, and by modern standards low or absent lighting. In all cases we have sought to make a sensible compromise between due regard for safety and the careful retention of the fabric of each building, which makes it an interesting place to stay. We thank you for your review and your appreciation of the restrictions within the building.

Close to the castle!

I love the location (close to Dublin) and on the same ground as the castle.
The outside of the house is very stylish. But the interior lacks comfort and is not clean.

From the moment we arrived - & were welcomed by Teresa so warmly - we were entranced. This wee house is charming, really well-equipped & so very comfortable. Our dog also had a good time, very secure small garden by house and loads of great walking on leash in the fabulous Castletown Estate & lovely Celbridge. We lunched at dog-friendly outdoor spots (Courtyard at Castletown, Carton House, Cliff @ Lyons and adored self-catering for Breakfast & Dinners. Top class stay. Hugely recommend

We stayed at Batty lodge for 5 days. We lead very busy lives and were looking for somewhere to get away and just realx, read and sleep. Batty lodge provided the perfect place. We love staying in querky places and the lodge had lots of charater and a perfect location. On the edge of the Castledown estate we were able to walk in the grounds, visit the 'big house' and wander around Celbridge, just 20mins over the other side of the park.

The accommodation is small, but had everything we needed. This is not a luxury cottage, but the furnishing is in keeping with the charater of the building. The bath is small but there was always plenty of hot water and the radiators heated the lodge well.

Some local places: Canteen restaurant in Celbridge was superb and easily catered for us even though it's French styled and we are both Vegans. Cliff and Lyons was a great find on our last day after a walk along the Grand canal. The garden centre around the corner had some really interesting things in it - probably a good job we were travelling otherwise we would have bought a lot. The wonderful barn is a stunning building, but it was disappointing that we couldn't get close to it as it was all fenced off.

Our only dfisappointment was that we were not there on a Saturday to take part in the Park Run!

What a special treat to stay at a wonderful and unique property. From the moment we arrived the welcome we received combined with the wow factor of the building itself, set us up for the most magical and unforgettable weekend. Once we have the walk through, showing us where everything was, a quick chat about where best to grab an evening meal in Cellbrige if we fancied venturing out, we were handed over the keys and settled into our own little home from home for the weekend. Outside, the property is very striking with it's stone pinnacles and imposing stature overlooking the River Liffey, but inside, Batty Langley Lodge could not be any more homely, comfy and so so very cosy. Honestly, we did not want to leave but knew we had to venture out for an evening stroll through Castletown Park as it was such a glorious evening. We have breakfast on the patio each morning watching local fisherman down the hill at the river. The birds were singing, the locals were so friendly, the sun was shining ... magical.

We loved staying here. Arranging arrival with Teresa was easy and she was so welcoming. Te lodge is fanstic and had everything you might need for a stay. The grounds were beautiful and the lodge was completely silent at night. No wifi and TV meant we weren't even tempted to connect with the busy world outside.

We got the lodge in beautiful weather so dining outside in the evening sun was delightful.

It is a wonderful location and the building is really charming. It is very well equipped but like many Landmarks it was a touch rough round the edges.

Having Castletown park virtually to ourselves in the mornings was great.

We had a lovely time.

So great to hear that you had a lovely time at Batty Langley Lodge and got to enjoy the property in such glorious weather. What a fabulous summer to experience the property. May I ask you to please contact Irish Landmark Trust directly please about your comment "touch rough" as we would wonder as to what you mean by this and would like the opportunity to address any comments if possible. If you reply to your booking confirmation email that will get you in touch with Head Office. Thank you.

A very enjoyable weekend in Batty Langley's Lodge, a fascinating eighteenth century "gothick" house, full of character. It was very comfortable and welcoming. We found it ideal for exploring the Leixlip and Maynooth areas, and it was good for visiting the Castletown house and estate.

Really enjoyed another stay at Batty Lodge. Teresa is a wonderful property manager and nothing is too much trouble for her.
I loved the long evenings when the gates were locked and I could venture out into the park alone hunting for bats.
The weather was super and there was little need for heating, except for a quick blast later in the evening.
At times, during the day, the public were a little intrusive. They peered in through the windows and if a door was ajar they often barged in to see the interior.

Thank you very much for the great review. It's always great to hear of our guests thoroughly enjoying the experience of staying in an Irish Landmark Trust property. Teresa is indeed a wonderful Property Manager and I'm sure you were very well looked after. The wonderful thing about Batty Langley Lodge is that during these long warm evenings it's great to do as you did and go wandering for bats and enjoying the beautiful weather and during the darker winter months it's the most cosy place to be and just curl up by the fire. We hope you can come stay with us again soon!

The Irish Landmark Trust is to be commended for the conservation of historical properties and for making them available as holiday accommodation. We had a pleasant stay at Batty Langley Lodge. It provided us with a base to tour the region, including Dublin, Glendalough and even Clonmacnoise. The peace and quiet of the place was lovely, with walks into Celbridge along the Liffey and to Castletown House. The cottage was provided with all the necessary appliances, although no TV or wifi. There is free wifi at the cafe in the nearby shopping centre on Celbridge Road, for those who do not have their own mobile data. We would certainly recommend Batty Langley Lodge for other guests wishing to get away from it all.

We loved our stay at Betty Langley lodge: it’s the perfect place for a romantic couples’ getaway. Secluded, beautiful, romantic little hideaway on the edge of Castletown Estate. Breakfasts with the half-door open, listening to the chattering birds in the forest; evenings, glass of whiskey in front of a roaring fire and listening on the bat monitor to the creatures wheeling about the lodge at night. If you love heritage, nature, and special (but not 5-star perfect) history-laden places this is the perfect retreat-from-it-all haven.

Thank you for getting in touch and your recommendation of a shower, however many guests prefer the bath at this property. It would be wonderful to have both but I am afraid the property is not large enough for this. If you prefer a shower please do get in touch with us directly next time and we can let you know what properties have a shower in them.

Located down a narrow country lane on the edge of a parkland, Batty Langley is the best of both worlds—off the beaten path yet walkable to retail, restaurants, and transportation. Sitting on a knoll with a view of the river, the house is like a tiny castle. Inside, the rooms have all the quaintness and coziness you might want from a cottage in Ireland.

We loved our stay in the lodge. Everything was perfect, from the communication with Teresa & her Husband, to the service & welcome, to the actual property & all its amenities. The property itself is very well maintained & there was literally everything we would ever need in a stay in a home away from home. We will definitely be back again...

You are dead right! Batty Langley Lodge is perfect for a quiet, relaxed and technology free stay. It's also very close to Dublin and even closer to the town of Celbridge so you're never too far to do a little shopping or maybe go for dinner and drinks. Thank you very much for the great review and we hope you come stay in an Irish Landmark property again soon.

Spent two very peaceful nights in Batty Langley Lodge in the cold end of autumn. I felt so comfortable and at home while sitting with a glass of wine and a book in front of the fire. The lodge itself is beautiful and full of character. The bed was comfortable and the place was spotlessly clean. A big thank you to Teresa the House Manager who was really helpful and so friendly!
It's a really special feeling staying in an Irish Landmark property and I look forward to trying every property I can.

I had a lovely stay at the lodge with my cousin and little daughter. The lodge was perfect for a nice quiet retreat and we loved having the fire lit and the radio on in the background. The location was really good, really nice walks to go on and all from the door of the lodge. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for an escape from the Dublin and an added bonus is that its not too far from it.
My daughter was fascinated with the building itself and it was so enjoyable to sit down and play board games with her in the comfort of the lodge.

We spent Halloween Night at Batty Langley with visiting Ireland. The Park grounds were entirely empty during the evening and we were completely in the dark- which made for a spooky night. Just what we were looking for. Wish we could have stayed longer. This place is truly unique. Bat detector was a nice touch…

Looking forward to staying at other Irish Landmark properties next time.

I took my Fiancé to Batty Langley lodge for a surprise weekend away after we got engaged. I can't say enough good things about it. It was a wonderful little haven, so warm and comfortable. The perfect place to relax, we went for walks in the grounds of Castletown park at dusk with the bat detector and we went into Celbridge at night for cosy drinks in the local pubs. The silence at night time was total, no cars and no people around, you just don't get that anywhere else. I would highly recommend Batty Langley lodge. A huge thank you to Teresa and Lorraine the managers they were wonderful.

Excellent booking process by telephone at short notice. On arrival we were met by Teresa who filled us in on the local history and gave us tips for our visit. We enjoyed the Castletown House tour and especially the coffee shop. Most of all the sense of tranquility and calm atmosphere, especially in the evenings. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

It is a beautiful building in a great spot.
The bedroom is very special and we loved having the slow combustor fire going in the spacious longue room. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. It is very homely.
We loved walking around the grounds which are vast. We appreciated being able to go out and explore different parts of it at different times and so do it in a relaxing way. The other people enjoying the parklands seemed just a part of the whole experience and we never had anyone intrude upon us in the lodge.
Castletown House was well worth a visit as was the town of Celbridge- it has retained a village feel about it and we also found great coffee there.
It helped us to really unwind to be in the lodge.
It was also a very short drive with not too much traffic going to the airport for us which was a great way to end our stay.

My only suggestion to improve Batty Langley is to re-think the bathroom. Yes I know it's an old property and the original would not have had a bathroom. But I think that if you were to remove the bath install a proper shower and tile the walls this would greatly enhance the place. Also by tiling the walls the fabric of the building would be much better protected. As it is the plaster on the walls in the bathroom is cracking and ready to fall into the bath. This is not meant as a criticism it is hopefully taken as a positive point and one that is intended to provide longevity to this marvellous building.

Thank you for your review and suggestion. The reason there is a bath in Batty Langley Lodge is primarily to ensure that the structure itself was not compromised. The only way to put in a shower into where the bathroom is located would be to block off a window which is a beautiful feature of this property. I have forwarded on your review to the Standards Officer who will be able to address the issue you have raised. I do hope that you will come again to another Irish Landmark property in the future.

We loved our stay at Batty Langley. It is such a quaint cozy little place. We brought our dog Poppy with us. She learned how to swim for the very first time and absolutely loved every minute. The grounds are beautiful too. The only slightly negative thing was the lack of privacy we got due to countless people walking up to the window and staring in. Perhaps there is something elegant that that can be applied to the windows (like a stainglass effect) to prevent outsiders constantly looking in through the windows?

Meine Gastgeber waren äußerst nett und hilfsbereit. Das weitläufige Gelände ist wunderschön. Die Lodge ist sehr gemütlich. Mülltüten, Geschirrspülmittel, Handseife und vieles mehr waren vorhanden. Ebenso gab es ein Fernglas und einen Fledermausdetektor :-). Geschäfte zum Einkaufen sind gut zu Fuß erreichbar. 13 Minuten Fußweg bis zur Busshaltestelle.

Eine Stehlampe war verbeult, für das Vorhängeschloß am Eisentor, das zum Schuppen (mit Mülltonnen) führt hatte ich keinen Schlüssel. Das war aber kein Problem, nur etwas umständlicher, weil ich auch andersherum gehen konnte. Der Schuppen ist sehr eng, deshalb muß man die großen Mülltonnen einzeln herausrollen, um den Müll entsorgen zu können. Das ist etwas umständlich. Es wird viel Wert auf Energiesparen gelegt, deshalb gibt es viele Sparlampen mit kaltem, ungemütlichem Licht. Dafür gibt es aber einen Wäschetrockner, der viel mehr Strom verbraucht, als ein paar klassische Glühbirnen. Leider war alternativ kein Wäscheständer zum Trocknen der Wäsche vorhanden. Die Klappstühle für den Garten sind teilweise schon sehr wackelig und der Tisch oder die Tischplatte vom Küchentisch schaukelt. Bei der Doppelsteckdose in der Küche funktioniert nur die eine Seite. Nicht alle Heizkörper können einzeln reguliert werden, weil teilweise die Drehknöpfe fehlen oder defekt sind.
Es verging kein Tag, ohne dass Leute sich laut direkt vor dem Gebäude unterhielten und häufig sogar in die Fenster starrten. Da ich mich viel im Wohnzimmer aufhielt um zu lesen oder zu lernen, war das sehr lästig. Die Steigerung war noch, dass an mehreren Tagen Kinder mit Steinen auf das Gebäude warfen, lange an die Tür schlugen und "Open the door" brüllten. Alleinsein im Garten war auch nicht möglich, weil einige Leute auch so weit wie möglich um das Gebäude herumgehen und auch dort hineinsehen. Ich hatte ein wenig das Gefühl in einem schönen Zoogehege zu leben :-(. Wenigstens hatte ich in der Küche (dort hatte ich permanent das Rollo zur Wegseite geschlossen) und im oberen Stockwerk einiges an Rückzugsmöglichkeit.

Trotzdem hatte ich alles in allem einen schönen Aufenthalt. Falls ich wieder einmal eine schöne Unterkunft in der Nähe von Dublin suche, würde ich mich wahrscheinlich für das Castletown Gate House entscheiden, das nicht so auffällig aussieht und deshalb nicht so viele neugierige Leute anzieht.

Batty Langley is in a great location, particularly if you like river walks with or without a dog! The nearby town has good pubs especially Castletown Inn with its great Guinness and some good restaurants, in particular, Da Mario's for good Italian food. There are also interesting places to visit locally, such as the Castletown House itself and the National Stud, Kildare.

We stayed Saturday and Sunday nights in the quaint Batty Langley's Lodge which accommodates two people comfortably. We were warmly welcomed by Ciaran (Teresa's husband) who showed us where all the necessities and local amenities were located. Private parking for one vehicle is available within the grounds of the property and there is a public parking facility for 3 to 4 cars outside the entrance gate. It is advisable to reverse into the private parking space as it can be difficult to negotiate your way in and out when the public parking is in use. Also be prepared to have curious visitors looking in through the downstairs windows! We made use of the stove in the sitting room which had a plentiful supply of firewood etc. and it created a lovely atmosphere at night time. Castletown House is about a 20 minute walk through the grounds partly along the Liffey River and is well worth a visit.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you enjoyed your recent stay at an Irish Landmark Trust property. We are glad to read that you had a nice stay. Batty Langley Lodge is located at one of the entrance gates to the Castletown Estate so there are walkers that do pass by the property on a regular basis. It is such a striking building architectural wise that understandably people do tend to be curious about the property but I am glad to hear that you stay in the property itself was not too put out by people passing by.

Neat building, attractive setting

An excellent retreat from the hustle and bustle of working in and around Dublin City without having to travel too far. Batty Langley Lodge house is perfectly located at the edge of the Castletown House and grounds which were a joy to explore, including the walkways along the banks of the Liffey. Civilisation is close at hand if / when required via a 15 min stroll to Celbridge through the estate. The lodge house itself is quirky in design but well appointed with views along the Liffey valley. Good for a digital detox away from tv and wifi with plenty of books and a log fire (not required this trip) to supplement modern central heating.

Batty Langley is not a 5-star hotel, but if you are looking to stay in an interesting bit of history, in a beautiful place, connected to an even more beautiful place, stay here. No real shower, but they could make one with very little change in the bathroom. We stayed three nights and recommend it. It's in a quiet little corner of the Castletown estate, with a short hike to Castletown itself, and a short hike to town, too. Nice.

This property is the perfect therapy for escaping the mad world we live in now. Literally stepping back in time, being surrounded by books from bygone days, and games we used to play in our childhood, before TV and Wi-FI came along and took away our ability to chat and enjoy the simple things. Batty Langley lodge makes you realise that the trappings of the 20th Century are just that.
Teresa keeps the place spotless and provided everything we needed with a smile. She let us in at 1pm, rather than 4pm, and even left us an Easter egg as we stayed over the long Easter weekend.
If you are at one with nature it is a wonderful place, as birds and bats keep you company day and night, and on our last day we were visited by a Mink who slept in the crook of a tree just outside the house.
A visit to Castletown House, a friendly chat with barge owner Ger as we meandered down the Grand Canal on bargetrip.ie, eating take-away gluten-free pizza from Da Mario in Celbridge (brilliant for coeliacs) in front of a peat fire. A memorable way to spend our 25th Anniversary...Romantic, Personal, Quiet...with no disturbances ! :-)
Worth a visit just to see the bedroom curtains...unique

After a difficult time, with the death of a relative, I retreated to the Lodge feeling tired and dejected. Once again Batty worked her magic and after a few days of walking and relaxing in her care I was beginning the healing process.

Myself, my wife and our dog stayed here for a weekend in March. From the very start, we were impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the service. Cottage itself is even better in person than in the pics and situated on fabulous grounds - great if you bring a 4 legged friend! We had a great time and, if you stay here, be sure to check out the restaurant Canteen in nearby Celbridge - fantastic find.

We had a great time at the Batty Langley Lodge - prefect for what we wanted, a quiet get-a-way after the Christmas madness!
Also, dog friendly, which is a real bonus for our Irish terrier! also very romantic, with log burning fire etc...
It is a little pricey but the uniqueness of it all was worth it!
Thanks you Teresa, for your help and for a lovely stay!

We had a lovely, quiet stay at Batty Langley. It was very comfortable and warm & cosy. It had a FAB backgarden - the Castletown House estate! It was unique and historical place to stay - as are all the Landmark Trust locations.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Lodge, my boyfriend actually specified it was one of his favorite parts of our 3 day stay in Ireland. The grounds were gorgeous and we felt secluded enough but still near enough to the world in watching all of the joggers and bikers coming through the gate just outside the residence. The house manager Teresa was very accommodating even with our few lost emails (technical problem). Near enough to surrounding towns where we could drive over for a pint and a bite to eat. Having such a beautiful and cozy place to come back to at the end of our daily adventures was wonderful. Would definitely stay again! Thanks so much, Irish Landmark, for providing such an awesome space!

The communication from Irish Landmark was prompt in relation to the booking
The House Manager also replied quickly and was very helpful
The lodge was as described
The bed and pillows were comfortable
Could have been doing with more towels, brought some of our own as we knew there was only a few supplied
Life is possible without television and wifi. A radio was supplied.
We did bring a small TV to watch DVDs though!!!
It was a bit hard to find, locals hadn't heard of it
We were lucky and were there when the craft fair was on at Castletown House, spent the morning at it
We also had the dog with us, there are plenty of lovely walks in the area and it's not especially hilly
Plenty of information about the history of the area
The three nights went by very quickly
Would go back after visiting other Landmark properties

My wife and I were in Ireland for a 14 day vacation and stayed at the Batty Langley lodge toward the end of our trip. What a gem! It was relatively easy to find (not being from Ireland), clean, and cozy. The only complaint that we had was that it is not very private. We didn't have any issues but the website does not tell you that the gate by the lodge is the entrance to a large estate that is public. There were people constantly walking, running or taking their dogs for walks essentially right outside the door. We had several people look into the windows to see inside not knowing that people were staying there. Of coarse they meant no harm but we were under the impression that it was a tad more private than what it turned out to be. It still would not be a deal breaker for staying there because it is very lovely but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. Other than that no complaints and we would love to try more locations. We had a great stay!

What a lovely property. The Batty Langley Lodge is beautifully equipped for a couple to relax and enjoy themselves in the beautiful setting of Castletown House. The kitchen has everything that you will need for preparing meals weather it be a light breakfast or a full dinner. The living room area is attractive with wonderful light from the gothic windows and the fireplace is ready for you to enjoy a cozy fire. Lot's of books are available and there is a good amount of information on the property as well as the extensive renovations that took place. The bedroom is on the second floor and is spacious with nice bedding. The second floor is also where the full bathroom is located.

The Batty Langley Lodge is a unique property and I am thrilled to have been able to stay there in such comfort. The property is on the grounds of Castletown House and you will have people walking around very close to the house. People will also sometimes be looking in the windows which can be a bit of a shock but it is easy enough to pull the blinds or drapes during the busy times if you are concerned about privacy.

All in all enjoyed the grounds, the beautiful setting and the comfortable stay and I would recommend it as a lovely place to stay.

We had a wonderful holiday in beautiful surroundings. The property had a lovely atmosphere and the history of it made it an interesting stay. You only had to step out the door and you were surrounded by the parkland with lovely walks.
The property itself was clean and tidy and the facilities were adequate, everything you could need was supplied.

This property is at one of the entrances to Castletown House in Celbridge. It isn't a real gatehouse as the property looks inward onto the large park grounds of the house.

We spent three nights here and had a lovely time. One day we drove to see the castle at Trim.

Celbridge can be reached by walking through the grounds, which is very nice. The River Liffey runs along the park grounds and provided the opportunity to see heron and other wildlife. Another very nice village, Leixlip, can be reached by a short car ride.

As others have mentioned, since this is at the entrance to a large park that's open to the public there can be quite a bit of foot traffic passing by.

Myself and my partner had a very pleasant stay. It was for the most part peaceful, calm and very tranquil. Future guest however should be made aware that the lodge is attached to a public gate so there can be significant footfall. This did not bother us until our second morning when curiosity got the better of a number of passerbys who attempted to gain access to the property, knocking and trying to open the door and then peering in every window we can pulled the blinds on...a little frustrating but we laughed about it for the most part because it was such a relaxing weekend.

We received landmark trust vouchers for a wedding gift from friends. It was a lovely break away close to Dublin. I am expecting twins so wanted to stay close to the city and not have a long drive. We loved walking in the grounds and visiting Castletown house. The lodge is very nicely restored but has all the modern comforts. We met relatives who live close by and had a lovely lunch in Barbarstown Castle. There is a lot to do in the area. The lodge is so peaceful and quiet. We particularly enjoyed seeing all the nature on the grounds.

Staying a few days in the Batty Langley Lodge is a truly unforgettable experience. It makes you feel like staying in your own little castle. Especially when the gates of the Castletown House are closed we had the whole park area for ourself, with very nice walks and viewpoints - a dream for every photographer. Unfortunately before our arrival a silly boy had thrown a few stones into one of the beautiful windows, but the issue was solved by our very friendly and helpful contact Teresa the next day already, without any disturbance. We will be back - definitely!

The Lodge is a marvellous retreat from the busy world. I love the location, only 1 hour from the madness of central Dublin. The best bit is when the gates are locked at night and it is all yours! Bat hunting is a great thing to do of a still warm evening.

Enjoyed a great weekend stay at the lodge. Excellent location, especially for short walks. Used it as a base to travel to many other locations in Ireland and even managed a drive up the Antrim Coast on a loverly sunny day.

Would recommend the property to anyone who wants a bit of seclusion and to get away from the crowds in the evenings.

We spent three nights here. Fantastically peaceful despite being so convenient to Dublin. The Lodge itself was charming and comfortable with the added benefit of direct access to the Castletown House estate. This allowed the option of exploring further afield or just remaining in the little world of Castletown.

Beautiful residence of it's period and we enjoyed the experience but with three reservations. 1 the wood burner was not working and on the particularly cold week-end we stayed it would have certainly have added to our comfort.I would have thought that with it not working it would have been of significant interest to have us notified so that we might have been given the opportunity to re schedule.2 The stairs were verging on being dangerous and to someone like myself with a who suffers from arthritis it made for a hazardous ascent. 3 My wife and I thought the bed too hard and it really did prevent us spending our 3 and final night in property.

I made these observations solely in the interest of feedback and I know by trying to be authentic modern standards cannot always be applied but point No 1 could have been rectified.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Batty Langley Lodge. Irish Landmark buildings were made to the standards of earlier times. Consequently you may encounter features that reflect their particular character but that deserve due care and attention, particularly by the young, elderly, less mobile or visually impaired. Examples of these are steps worn with age, uneven surfaces, low ceilings and beams, unexpected drops or changes in level, and by modern standards low or absent lighting. In all cases we have sought to make a sensible compromise between due regard for safety and the careful retention of the fabric of each building, which makes it an interesting place to stay. Guests are notified of in the documents they receive when making a reservation but I do apologise that you felt unsafe during your stay. I have checked with Local House Manager regarding the woodstove and she has informed me that she is waiting to have it serviced and it was not recommended to use it in the meantime. I apologise that this information was not forwarded on to you prior to your stay. Perhaps if you contact me directly here in the Bookings Office if you wish to return to another Irish Landmark Trust property then we can advise you on what properties may be more suitable to your requirements.

A wonderful feeling remoteness, even though lots of people cam and went through the large wrought iron gates beside Batty Langley lodge. Views of the river Liffey below the many windows made it even more special. The Lodge is perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need, especially in the kitchen, and very rightly, there is no TV, wi-fi or radio. Its a chill-romantic nest for two. One sour note - some dog, or dogs, of which there are hundreds around the grounds at any one time, have picked the grass directly outside the front door to use as a toilet. Very off-putting. And nasty and unfair for Teresa to have to deal with. And do remember that the stairs are really lethal, although there are several large notices urging care along them. One other thing, and I don't imagine it would ruin the aesthetic of the Lodge too much. A small toilet downstairs, tucked away behind the Lodge or in the shed, or under the stairs would be a marvellous addition. A toilet and wash-hand-b asin would not cost all that much and would make such a difference. Everytime you need the bathroom you have to take your time, cautiously, up and down those stairs. Teresa was a lovely, friendly keyholder, punctual and welcoming, we couldn't have asked for nicer, she even presented us with a bouquest of flowers as we arrived!

Despite unkind weather we had a wonderful time. Because of the cold weather we used a lot of heat and we found the fumes from the heating in the kitchen a little strong. Everything else was very satisfactory. Fantastic location, lovely walks and lots of things to do.

Batty Langley is a lovely little property. It was great to be on the Castletown Estate and to be able to enjoy walks around the grounds. I would love to go back and enjoy a tour of the Palladian House and other nearby historical properties. February was not ideal for sightseeing in the area!

The lodge is nicely situated for a quick trip into Dublin and was easy to find. The building is charming and we were warmly welcomed by the property manager Teresa. I enjoyed learning about the bats and about the restoration of the house.

The property was as well equipped as any ILT house I have been to (4 now) and it's always a special experience to stay in a lovingly renovated building.

The only downside was the number of adults and children coming up to peer in through the windows as I was having a quiet read in front of the fire on the Sunday afternoon. The charm and allure of this unusual building was clearly too much to resist!!.

This house is very well equipped and furnished, comfortable and with a lovely view. Teresa the house manager and her husband Ciaran were very friendly and helpful.
The bedroom and sitting room are lovely and very spacious - we were warm and peaceful while Storm Imogen raged outside - plenty of books!
The walk across the grounds into Celbridge was great and Castletown House grounds are full of birds - thrushes, blackbirds and robins but also redwing, goldfinches, bullfinches, buzzards and best of all a kingfisher.

We loved our time in The Batty Langley Lodge.
It is a beautiful property restored so sympathetically yet extremely cosy with every facility available.
Bring your walking shoes as it is perched at the gate of an amazing estate free to explore.


Constructive criticism :

outdoor lighting is very low when arriving at night
a little muddy too (but only for the sake of bringing it into the property)
Its a shame that the public can park SO close to the property as they have full view of the kitchen area

We spent the first few days of 2016 in Batty Langley. We were fortunate that the rain held off while we were there, and it was a real treat to be the only residents on the estate, if only for a brief period. It's a gorgeous hide-out, beautifully decorated and maintained. The one crib we might have is that cars ignore the signs and continually park in front of the kitchen window - perhaps a few judiciously placed rocks would prevent illegal parking and provide a bit more privacy. Also, maybe some kind of barrier could be placed on the grass in front of the living room windows to deter people on the grounds from staring inside. But otherwise, we loved our short stay there.

We spent a wonderful holiday at this sweet cottage. The park is marvellous and returning after a walk or a day trip felt like coming home. Hope to be back again one day for a relaxing holiday. The lodge offers all facilities one could wish for without losing the flair of the 18th century.

A step back in time, the comfort level was probably the best that can be expected balancing the realities of an 18th century building and the hopes for the 21st century traveler.A little bit bigger bed would have been a plus. Your representative Theresa couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. A great experience enjoying an historic property. Would definitely stay with Irish Landmark Trust again!

I am sorry that your parents did not have the oppurtunity to stay at their chosen property. I find it surprising that they had difficulty finding the property as the directions they were sent are completely accurate. We always ask for guests to contact the Local House Manager at least 5 days proior to arrival in order to make arrangements to meet at each of our self-catering properties. I understand that your parents were unable to stay the first night of their stay and that they would travel down to for the second night. The Local House Manager was anxiously waiting for a telephone call from your parents on that day so she could travel to meet them at the property to welcome them but she did not receive a phone call and there are no missed calls or text messages so presumed that your father was still unwell to travel.

We love Batty Langley lodge. This was our 5th stay at an ILT property and our 2nd stay at Batty Langley. Cozy, comfortable and romantic. Great location and only minutes from Cellbridge town center and the train station. Last year we were here in November and Castletown house was closed for tours. This time we did the tour and it was great. As far as our stay is concerned, everything was ready for our arrival. The heat was on, the lodge was comfortable and the fireplace was stocked with wood. Kudos to Teresa who made our stay perfect. We will be back!

A wonderful stay with sunshine every day and no rain at all! This property is so well located in an area full of interest. We much enjoyed wandering around the park and visiting Castletown House. Also Maynooth and its castle and university, Leixlip with a visit to Desmond Guinness's Castle, Carton House with an arranged visit to the Shell House and walks through its splendid grounds. Ate in every night from local produce and fully enjoyed the comforts of the Lodge. Teresa was so welcoming and accommodating giving us an hour extra on our leaving morning for one last walk round the park.

The lodge is wonderfully situated above the river.
The interior and its furnishings are a well curated collection of very appropriate bits and pieces.
No TV, or Wi-fi make it a perfect retreat from the modern world outside.

Once the gates are locked for the night it feels as if the park is all yours.
I really enjoyed going out with the bat detector along the river bank at midnight.

Do come and relax here!

We stayed at batty Langley for two nights at the end of August. It was like being in a little romantic bubble where only we existed. We walked in the grounds during the day and lit the stove at night. The bat finder was fun but I found it hard to hear the bats over the teeny tiny snores from the sofa beside me - maybe this place is just too relaxing :-)
Our walks in the gardens were great and we were lucky to meet local people who knew so much about all the animals in the area - They even told us about Pygmy goats at the nearby garden centre. Who knew that goats were so much fun?! I would really love to have one of my own now
The bed was very comfortable and the location so relaxing. This was just what we needed as we have a difficult time ahead of us now and our special time at Batty Langley was just what we needed - when we were there we forgot all our worries.
I would love to go back there and relive those two days again

The lodge was very cute accommodation for two. Just inside the grounds of the park gives opportunities for walks to Castletown house (recommend the cafe) and cellbridge (recommend the Village inn).
A car is essential for other trips. Directions could have been a little better, but maybe the new postcode system will help.
Be prepared to be cut off as no TV or WiFi and phone reception ok/patchy. Nevertheless that was exactly why it was charming and a quiet getaway.

A delightful and charming 'Gothick' lodge. We really enjoyed our stay. It is a perfect location for peace, quiet and tranquility. Our spaniel also loved the location - plenty of walks on the doorstep. The lodge has a great view of the Liffey. In addition there is a modern kitchen with plenty of cultery and crockery. The lodge manager, Teresa, is very helpful.

I suggest the stairs and shower/bath may be difficult for someone who is not too mobile.

My sister and I (Golden Oldies) enjoyed a lovely few days in Batty Langley Lodge. It was what we expected it to be - comfortable, warm, well-equipped - yet maintaining sufficient antiquity of old-world charm to conjure up a vivid enough image of what 'living' was like (for privileged classes!) in those far-off days. There were plenty local historical books on the shelves, as well as some old favourites like Yeates, Macken etc. A trip down memory lane! All the kitchen equipment was modern and worked perfectly and there was lashings of really hot water.

Teresa, the Manager/Caretaker, an delightful lady and an absolute asset to "Batty", warmly welcomed us, facilitated us in every way, and was very apologetic that the log/turf-burning stove was temporarily out of commission. We missed a little lazy 'loll' in front of that, but, however, the central heating was more than adequate. Teresa had placed a vase of beautiful fresh flowers at the kitchen window to greet us...what a lovely gesture!

The bed was comfortable and the bedding good quality. The bathroom was fine and everything worked well and was spotless; I would have liked a brighter light in there. Great care must be taken on the stairs as the riser-heights are somewhat uneven. A quiet and peaceful hideout is Batty Langley's where tranquillity reigns. People we met out and about were friendly and nobody came to peep in our windows!!

The Castletown Estate lands are glorious - no bats in evidence anywhere, but we did see some squirrels hopping from tree to tree. We also loved the Cowslips and Primroses which we spotted in all their glory...wild and free! All in all, this was a lovely little sojourn rubbing shoulders with the 'Big House'. We hope to do a Tour of that when in Celbridge as we have already booked to stay in the Round House there. Best wishes to the Irish Landmark Trust and its endeavours.

the setting for Batty Langley is lovely, with all of Castletown Demesne at your disposal - ideal for a lively 3 year old and dog. The house was very comfortable by the Saturday afternoon but was quite cold, particularly the bedroom which felt cold and a little damp on arrival on Friday night. If heat had been on a little earlier it would have helped - this is the only difficulty we experienced.

The welcome from Teresa and Ciarán was as warm as the fire they had lit in the living room. The house is idyllic - Like something from Lord of the Rings, particularly the bedroom. We woke to the tweeting birds. The kitchen is quaint, but is fully equipped - dishwasher, oven, hob, fridge, microwave, pots and pans. The house feels very secure as there is an infra-red CCTV camera on the main gate to the grounds. There is parking to the rear of the house too. There is a great Supervalu a mere 1.5kms away and a petrol station for anything you have forgotten. Max our little dog loved meeting all the dogs that came through the gate. Make sure to visit the Main House (Castletown House) which is truly spectacular - I never knew Ireland had such grand residences. Walk off a big dinner with a stroll by the river - glorious!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will be back.

Had a wonderful New Years at Batty Langley and what a fantastic place to ring in the New Year!! The Lodge is cozy, comfortable, warm, and full of fantastic character! Teresa, the house manager, gave us a warm welcome and was kind enough to let us arrive early and stay late.

Even though the Lodge retains all of its original character, it is still full of modern conveniences like a dishwasher and laundry machine. The oven was also one of the best we've experienced in the Landmark buildings, so we were able to cook some fantastic meals there.

The grounds surrounding the lodge are beautiful and great for walks by the river, or by the lake with the swans, as well as the large estate house on the property.

Others have commented about the public peering into windows, and while we did not have that experience, there are quite a few people walking around the estate when the gates are open. Everyone respected our privacy so it did not impact our stay at all. And, if you are lucky enough to be staying there when the daylight lasts longer, the gates are closed at 7:30, so you will then have the entire estate all to yourself. Its quite a priveledge.

We would highly recommend this lodge to couples and we cannot wait to return for a longer stay!

We spent three nights in the beautiful Batty Langley Lodge on the Castletown estate. The building has been sensitively restored, while at the same time including some welcome modern additions like toasting central heating. We visited Castletown House and I very much enjoyed a guided tour of the amazing house. We ate several times in the restaurant. We were also lucky to be able to attend the monthly country market which coincided with our stay. However, the house and restaurant close for the Winter on the 31st October every year and I would have been sorry to miss them.
Staying here is a truly unique holiday experience, you'll have to try it!

Very interesting property which is well restored and well kept. The housekeeper was most helpful. The location is excellent within walking distance of many attractions. A very good weekend.

Batty Langley is a magical experience. We were greeted by Ciaran who was very helpful and pleasant. The lodge is a perfect romantic getaway from it all, and the walk from the lodge to Celbridge town through Castletown estate grounds, is just fantastic. One of the best weekends away I have had in a long time, would highly recommend it. The fact that there was no internet or TV is definitely a plus. The only downside to this property is the fact that the shower in the bath is not hung on the wall and must be hand held. Other than that, the property couldn't be better.

We enjoyed the property immensely except for the bathroom, there was no sliding rail for the shower head so the spray had to be hand held, not good enough

The lodge was a wonderful place to end my first visit to Ireland. The lodge itself is comfy and restful and the grounds are beautiful. I can't think of a nicer place for a little rest and relaxation. Thank you!

Stayed in the Batty Langley Lodge for three nights/four days. The accommodations were historically wonderful, and the grounds were great to stroll around in the day or evening. The kitchen facilities were more than adequate to prepare any meal you cared to cook. Groceries were close by, but you definitely need a car if you are going to stay in this place for any length of time. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom facilities were fine. With no wifi or TV this can be a very restful and relaxing stay. The Castletown House is certainly worth a look. The city of Celbridge has several restaurants and bars of varying levels of quality. All in all a great getaway! The only complaint was the lack of hot water, the immersion heater would not cooperate with us at all.

The Batty Langley Lodge is a great property for your money! The cozy setting of the house wil make you feel at home when you first enter the doorstep. Lots of interesting culture is only a short drive away as also the beautiful nature of the Wicklow Mountains. The house has every luxury features you would expect from a great holiday home.

On days with nice weather, the bumpy road to the house was packed with parked cars of locals visiting the park grounds, which made it a challenge to reach the on site parking lot.

We had a really great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Batty Lanley Lodge. The perfect unique relaxing getaway from our busy Dublin lives. Fatastic history behind the lodge and the sourrounding land. We did a very enjoyable tour of Castletown House itself which gave us a good insight. We enjoyed nice walks during the day despite unfavourable weather but nothing a nice cosy fire couldn't sort out. Was fun to find a BAT detector in the lodge and read up on the history of bats and surveys carried out in the area but we weren't lucky enough to hear any during our stay. It certainly added to the Gothic feel of the lodge. Unfortunately privacy was an issue at times though with cars parking right outside the kitchen window from early morning to late at night despite signs on the gates and also people exploring the area would peer in the windows of the lodge, once catching us unawares while having dinner. In saying that you must bear in mind that it is a public area and is a very popular area for walkers, runners, cyclists and tourists alike so there is a constact flow of people about the place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next Irish Landmark stay already in September.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Batty Langley and that you visited Castletown House itself. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you had re. privacy and will look into getting better signage done for the lodge - this may help. Looking forward to having you stay again in September!

Batty Langley Lodge is such a lovely place to stay. The house itself comprises a large bedroom with en-suite, a large living room and a well equipped kitchen. While it's not 5-star accommodation, it's got a lovely character and the rooms are all really lovely. We particularly enjoyed the living room with its excellent fireplace stove - many an hour was spent in front of it.

The grounds surrounding the lodge are very beautiful too, and we had some great walks around the Castletown estate. On the Sunday of the weekend we were there, an excellent country market was taking place beside Castletown House.

So all in all, well recommended!

We had a 2 night stay at the lodge. Location was perfect, the only downside was the quality of directions given and the lane leading to the lodge was awful, it would actually put us off going back, given the fact that we were worried that our car would be damaged from driving over the huge muddy craters on the lane. Also, the patch up work done on the bedroom ceiling seemed to be sub-standard. It certainly didn't appear to be sympathetic to the original design of the ceiling! The caretakers were extremely helpful and the book on the history of the house which they bought was fascinating. We will be back to Castletown House for a visit with our extended family in the coming weeks. The lodge itself was perfect for our requirements, we had a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you. Mary & Harry.

quaint unique building.location very scenic at entrance to estate but laneway into lodge is in a deplorable condition. house cold on arrival but heated up quickly once heat was turned on .bedroom in good condition but does need paint to cover dampness etc. bathroom small but no excuse for poor shower facilities. sitting room excellent with great comfort i.e stove , and lovely views to river and estate. overall it would be a good location to stay except for the above comments. darina in the booking office was most helpful.

Absolutely faultless. We had a fantastically relaxing break, walking for hours before settling with peat fire & a book. The house itself is beautiful, the setting perfect. Thoroughly recommended.

I would suggest the approach road (in particular the Area nearer to the Lodge) be looked at. There are holes big enough for a car wheel to fit into - presumably facilitated by the recent bad weather - but the area closer to the newer houses was not nearly as bad.

Batty Langley was cosy, peaceful and perfect for a weekend to get away from everyday life. The house manager is lovely and flexible and made sure we had enough of everything (including logs for a great fire). The lodge is set in the grounds if Castletown house which made for lovely walks, especially to the town of Celbridge which is full of lovely little pubs. Overall a really great experience.

Batty Langley Lodge was the perfect Christmas escape. We loved the quirkiness of the house and the setting, on the edge of Castletown was great for lovely walks with our dog. We hadn't anticipated the number of other people who would not only be out walking in the estate but looking in through the windows of the Lodge. We did feel slightly like we were in a goldfish bowl! Perhaps a small fence around the house might act as a deterrent to would-be viewers and ensure privacy for future guests.

I took my boyfriend to the Batty Langley Lodge for his birthday, it was amazing! The walking grounds around the main house were beautiful even in November. The bat detection equipment was fun to play with as well, even though we didn't hear any. The book about the family who owned the main house was fantastic, read it if you have the time! Overall...Highly Recommended!
