The PRINT Room. This used to known
as the Pink Room due to the colour it was painted. It's a cosy
room in winter and often used by Sir John Betjeman, the Poet
Laureate, whenever he visited the Castle.
Lady Louisa Connolly's famous 18th Century Print Room at Castletown,
Co. Kildare inspired the d?or style of prints. It was created
by local decorator Monica McNally using Lady Louisa's techniques.
Between the Chinese Room and the Print Room, there used to be
an unpleasant triangular bedroom known as 'The Insulting Room'.
Anyone disliked by the Leslies would be dumped there as a hint
not to return. Sammy has cut this awful room in two to create
two delightful bathrooms. The Print Room's bathroom includes
a solid stone tub, a megalithic shower and a loo with a self-raising
seat. |
