Coindre Hall

My review is specific to the dog park – I am angry because my dog was attacked at this park and I saw other dogs attacked there as well. More than 80% of the people at the dog park obnoxiously violate the many posted signs saying you are required to leash and control your dog at all times. The park is full of selfish, idiotic, irresponsible dog owners with large vicious dogs they refuse to leash, in violation of park policy. I would liken this park to a dog fighting ring run by Michael Vick because of the fights and pit bulls, German Shepards and Rottweilers I’ve seen. I wish they would have a cop there to ticket people $ 300 for not leashing and controlling their dogs like they are supposed to.

Coindre Hall is absolutely beautiful. It is the perfect place to have a picnic, play some Kan Jam, washers, have a catch, sit on the docks by the water, take pictures, play with your dog, meet other friendly people and their dog, roll down the big grassy hill, sit on a bench and be a spectator, swim, kayak or watch the sunset. My dog is 10 and we have never thought to bring him here. Recently my family and I were having professional photos taken and we wanted to choose a space that allowed us to bring our dog. Caumsett was not pet friendly, so somebody there suggested we try Coindre Hall. There is a big parking lot, plenty of space. The building is old and rustic, which contributes so many opportunities for a great photo. Brick walls, beautiful flower beds, ivy along the walls and great big trees. There is a small little barn house at the bottom of the big hill which, for whatever reason, people thought it was smart to completely vandalize it with graffiti. The water view is fantastic, there are docks to sit on and a little beach area to get into the water. Don’t come here if you don’t appreciate dogs coming up and loving on you because they’re everywhere and not leashed. Make sure if you do bring your dog, you bring a glove and a bag for their bathroom needs. It isn’t fun stepping into another dog’s business when you’re in flip flops, or kneeling into it with your jeans when you’re posing for a family photo.
My only real issue with Coindre Hall that I found distasteful was the amount of smoking that was going on, and I don’t mean cigarettes or cigars. It wasn’t enjoyable walking past streams, stopping to take photos and having the stench of marijuana coming out from people hiding in the bushes or behind trees. We were surprised when we saw people who worked there come out of the building wreaking of the same substance as well. Unprofessional and like I said earlier, a bit distasteful. Kind of kills the whole family day vibe.

I am so, so happy we found Coindre Hall when we started planning our wedding. From the moment we drove up the driveway and first saw the Château, we knew we wanted to have our wedding here. Getting married at Coindre Hall was like a fairytale. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and we LOVED how the venue took place in different rooms — and how our guests had access to the whole mansion (inside and outside) throughout the night. We did not want to have our wedding in a typical one-​room catering hall like most of the Long Island weddings. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and we can’t imagine having it anywhere else other than Coindre Hall.
John, the Catering Director and Maitre’ D was amazing throughout the entire process. Kind, professional, flexible, and reliable… he was always there to answer all of our questions and accommodate to all of our request. On the wedding day, I completely trusted him to oversee everything and he did an amazing job. To John and Lessings, thank you SO much for making our wedding a dream come true!

Very cool 80,000 square foot mansion (wow), built in 1912 (w/​indoor swimming pool and walk-​in refrigerator) that you can now rent for weddings and events.
The grounds are beautiful too, w/​big grassy dog park, that extends all the way down the hill to the bay. The mansion used to sit on 135 acres, but portions were sold off, and it is now 34 acres.

I’m writing to review the dog park not the party venue-​lol. My dogs absolutely love this place. There are many different trails and places where you can go with your dogs. Tip: bring a leash, some people can bust you if you let your dog of it. Make your dogs stay off the neighbors’ lawns. This nasty guy threatened to call the cops after screaming at my dog to get off his lawn because my dog set one paw on it-it’s just right off a little path.

One of the great public places Huntington, offering great views of the water. There are always tons of people here with their dogs, having a good time and enjoying life. They also rent the gymnasium out for various sports — I play basketball here one night each week. A cool place to kill some time when the weather is good!

Took my dog to the park there for the first time. She loves the wide open spaces. All the other per owners were very conscientious and protective of my dog because she is a puppy. She went swimming for the first time in Long Island Sound with a beautiful Newfoundland. They even had a hose to wash all the salt, sand and dirt.

A very nice venue on the north shores gold coast. Although not my style for a weding venue as it is a weird layout with and outdoor area in the center, for events it is perfect. I was recently here with the Unilocal event and theirs buildings and grounds are magnificent. I hope i can come back and attend many more events in the future.

I imagine that this place was once a mini mansion or something. The outside of the of Coindre Hall and the area around it is beautiful. I was deeply sadden that my phone’s camera could not picture its beauty in it entirety no matter how far back I moved.
This place is set up really well for catering events. They have a coat check, valet parking, and a kitchen. They have huge rooms where food could be served from. I just wonder what those rooms were used for in the past.
There was also real plates and forks. Very classy.

This place is creepy but in a very cool way. When we first drove up to it my friend asked, «Is this night going to turn into some House of Wax type of thing.»
Luckily, we were there for a Unilocal event so no one turned into a wax figure. We just had a lot of yummy food and drinks.
This place is in the middle of nowhere and the cell reception is horrible. That kind of adds to the creep factor. Again, in a cool way.
This place is fancy and it’s big. Lots of nooks and crannies to go exploring in.

What an elegant and opulent venue! With architecture and view to kill for, this certainly is a place where an important life event should be held.
I was fortunate enough to be invited for a charity event, held here. Upon arrival, I felt as if I were in a movie. Steep, angled spires. Heavy stone beneath your feet. Elegant edifices and archways that are a marvel of design. And the views are breathtaking!
The grounds are neat and pristine and there is an expansive grassy area in the rear that abuts the Long Island Sound.
This is truly one of the most regal and elegant venues I have been to.

this place is so dreamy! I LOVE IT!
I went to a Unilocal event here. this place looks like a castle. winding staircases, beautiful chandeliers, huge windows, multiple balconies, fireplaces, gorgeous mantels am this place is perfect! Its on a super large property and am sure its acres and acres of land.
they had valet parking for this event to so we drove right up to the front, looked like something out of a story book, two cylinder castle towers on each side.
I was reading about it online and its described as «renaissance, french chateauesque» and i would totally agree. It was built in the early 1900s and it def takes you back to a classy elegant time.
Service was great. staff was friendly and prompt in cleaning up miscellaneous plates and cups (as it was a tasting event). Valet was super polite and friendly. other than that everyone else was Unilocal staff (which are quite fabulous themselves).
We were using the space on the first floor which consisted of about 6 or more rooms, some where large rooms where several tables were for the tasting, and some were smaller rooms which had one thing in them, like photo taking or messages. They had single restrooms which caused a bit of a wait, but had larger restrooms upstairs with multiple stalls, both were super clean (i always mention the restroom because that’s important to me… lol)
I cant wait to go back and visit The Château at Coindre Hall!

What a fun place for an event! Beautiful place and plenty of space!

Quite spacious venus to host Unilocal’s great friday

Coindre Hall is pretty much in the middle of no where in Long Island. Its right next a school, near a golf course and in a residential area. It’s weird but I really like what you could do with their space. The upper level is quite cozy and comfortable. There are some flaws about this place. Some of the furniture and carpet they use in this place look very out of place. I’m not saying it’s ugly, it just doesn’t match/​fit the ambiance/​atmosphere of the interior design of some of the rooms. Another huge flaw is the cell phone service is here is HORRENDOUS! I was lucky if I got 1 – 2 bars on my phone. 3g and 4g don’t work, stuck on 1x or none all night! I was able to use their Wi-​Fi and even that was slow. Mobile carriers really need to build a service tower in this area because the reception stinks! Another flaw is that I don’t think I came across a restroom on the main floor. It’s a bit of a pain to walk up the stairs to use the restroom especially for a Hall that is this big.
The main reason I’m writing a review for Coindre Hall is because I came here for a Long Island Unilocal event. You could search for « Unilocal’s Great Friday!» under my reviews. Long story short, if you want to have an event at this hall, whether if its a party, wedding, fundraiser, etc… the interior could use some help. The structure and the architectural design of the exterior and interior dimensions are gorgeous. The interior just has the wrong colors and cheap looking chairs and furniture. If you wanna have a special event here, you’re gonna wanna hire a interior decorator to work some of their magic to pretty this place up.
On google maps, this place kinda seemed far and out of the way from where I live but the commute wasn’t that bad considering that there wasn’t that much traffic. I arrived a little early, and decided to drive around the area. It’s a cozy small town. There is a state park nearby which has a hiking trail.
Verdict — Ain’t bad. I won’t say that I hate the place but I won’t say that I love it either. All I could say is that, it could use a mini make over.

I went ot Summer Camp here 2 years in a row back in the 70’s. The Fransiscan Brothers take very good care of all the kids that attend. It was a great experience for me. Always something to do. Swimming, Boating, ans more. After I attended Camp there, it closed for some reason, and my parents found Camp Alvernia, which is nearby and also run by the Fransiscan Brothers. It was a perfect replacement for Coindre Hall. These two organizations are great places to keep your Child busy all summer long.

When I get so caught up with work, I forget how close I really am to amazing places on the water.
Thanks to a family tip, I recently came across the dog park at Coindre Hall. My puppy is almost 6 months old and I’m often looking for places for her to release her energy. Even though she was the smallest dog on our first visit, she loved the open fields and meeting new friends. After a walk down the hill, you’re on the water forgetting the hustle and bustle 40 minutes away in NYC.
The nice weather has arrived, daylight remains later into the day and this short drive is a great place to visit on the weekends or after work during the week.

One of the Gold Coast Mansions this is a nice place to take a stroll, and has alot of people bringing their pets.

If I’m on Ling Island and it’s morning, chances are you can find me at Coindre Hall with Mugsy, my seven year old mutt. You’ll know it’s us because she’s the only mutt there. But that’s okay.
I discovered this place years ago while geocaching. Added bonus was the fact that it’s an off leash dog park. Even better? A walk down to the water provides a small doggie beach and Mugsy loves to swim.
The grounds are huge and varied and allow for lots of running and playing. There are trails in the woods if you’re looking for a more quiet area.
I have never had a problem here — everyone is responsible and friendly.

Catering hall /​woodlands and county park.
Coindre Hall — built in 1906 resembles a castle for the most part. It sits on Suffolk County park land. This review is for the grounds only.
The main building serves as a catering hall these days and is run by the Lessings group.
The grounds have been utilized by dogs owners for years and with 34 acres available, it was a great place to take your beasties for some off the leash activities. The off-​leash thing has been a source of controversy though over the past couple of years. At this time there are plans to build fenced dog runs in the park.
There is a long sloping area that goes down to the water’s edge in Huntington Harbor — where a load of rowing people have their equipment and which serves as a launching point for these types of craft.
A great place to walk around and suck up some nature and sunshine.
Parking near the main building.
