Batty Langely Lodge

Batty Langley Lodge, Co. Kildare

An elegant two-storey building with seven stone pinnacles, Batty Langley Lodge is an ideal romantic bolt-hole for those looking to retreat from everyday life.

Located at the end of a country lane with the river running below, this is a place to make really special memories.  The appeal lies in its quiet location, with the bonus of the pubs and restaurants of Celbridge at the end of a lovely walk through the parkland estate.

It boasts a gorgeous bedroom and sitting room and a well-stocked library and a lovely stove to curl up at the end of the day.

It is due to the generosity of OPW that this building is available for our guests.

History of Batty Langley Lodge

Batty Langley Lodge was designed, as part of the planned landscape for the Castletown estate, to be viewed from the River Walk designed by Lady Louisa Lennox.

It is situated on the old Dublin entrance to Castletown House, now a country lane used by walkers and visitors passing through the grounds. Based on a design for a ‘Gothick Temple’ taken from Batty Langley’s book Gothic Architecture published in 1747, the façade of the lodge was added to the existing rectangular cottage in 1785.
