Lough Eske Castle, recently named Five-Star Hotel of the Year at the 2026 Georgina Campbell Irish Food & Hospitality Awards, is inviting guests to slow down this autumn and enjoy a relaxing break in the Donegal countryside with its Young at Heart package.

At Lough Eske Castle, being Young at Heart means having the freedom and time to enjoy the things that matter. Created with mature guests in mind, the package invites those enjoying retirement, a quieter pace of life or simply more time to travel to relax, explore and make the most of every moment.

Set within 43 acres of woodland just outside Donegal Town, the historic five-star castle provides the perfect setting for a leisurely escape, combining elegant accommodation, relaxed dining and the opportunity to explore the estate and surrounding countryside at your own pace.

A Warm Donegal Welcome


On arrival, guests can settle into their stay with complimentary tea or coffee and a freshly baked scone in the Gallery Bar before taking time to relax and enjoy the castle surroundings.
Whether enjoying a gentle stroll through the woodland estate, relaxing beside the fire, browsing the local shops or catching up with friends over lunch, the Young at Heart package has been thoughtfully created for guests who value comfort, good food, local discovery and the luxury of time.

Dónal Cox, General Manager of Lough Eske Castle, said: “The Young at Heart package is all about giving guests the time and space to properly switch off and enjoy Donegal at a gentler pace. We want every stay to feel warm, relaxed and personal, from a scone on arrival to a walk through the estate or dinner in Cedars. Following our recent Georgina Campbell awards recognition, it is a lovely opportunity to invite guests to experience the hospitality our team is so proud to deliver.”
