Lough Eske Castle has received bronze at the Virgin Media Business Gold Medal Awards in the Top Three Five Star Spas category.

This year, the event was held at the Galmont Hotel & Spa in Galway, which made the list of Top Four Star Spas In Ireland. Broadcaster Anton Savage hosted the awards and it was the 34th year of Virgin Media Business Gold Medal Awards.
