We stayed in a courtyard room. It was beautiful. Really warm and cosy. Beautiful bathroom with large walk-in shower. Kettle, tea, coffee,milk and biscuits provided. We had our dinner in the bar and the food was amazing as was the breakfast. The whole place is spotless. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous. We had a walk through the forest. The staff are lovely and can't do enough for you.Definitely recommend.

This place is like a 3 star Hotel. The only thing thats nice about this property, are the grounds, nature and the castle idea itself. The restaurant is like an upscale sports bar, definitely not fine dinning!. The food selection on the menu doesnt match that what is shown on their website. Your options for a nice romanting dinner will be between a burger, sandwich or a wrap. It is misleading since you are planning a nice romantic night travelling all the way from the USA and your dinner selection is something you could get at any sports bar. No authentic Irish meals on the menu either. This place is located at least 30min from any alternative restaurants selection. The staff doesnt reflect that of any 4 star Hotel that I have ever stayed at. I had to ask the waiter several times for things thats pretty simple. The company is trying to sell staying in an upscale fairy tale Irish castle, yet they lack authenticity and some quality. Its was just overall a little disappointing compared to all the other places ive stayed in Ireland and Scotland, this was probably the worst.
Start to finish a truly wonderful experience for my wife's 70th.birthday, unfortunately the breakfast was a bit of a let down ie. My wife's French toast was cold and my fried egg was frazzled, definitely the worst fried egg in Ireland.
The egg makes the fry.
Booked a table for 7pm Saturday evening. Arrived at 6.50 and we were told to wait outside in a side room until 7 even though the restaurant was empty at the time.
Not even an offer to provide us with a drink while we waited.
Hence we went down to the bar and had our meal, with no complaints and the staff were fantastic as they were on the Friday night, especially catriona,unfortunately the staff in the restaurant are not on the same planet and definitely don't have the same customer friendly approach.
Such a shame that this should happen on my wife's 70th.birthday.

ENJOYED OUR STAY AT CABRA CASTLE. WISH WE COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER.
Amazing service! Had no expectations and was extremely impressed with the style, size and comfort of the courtyard room and view. Two weddings on the Saturday night we stayed but you'd never have known!
Lovely property and surrounding area. Just note that it’s heavily used for weddings so expect music to be heard in your bedroom until late in the evening.
Staff were also very friendly and accommodating but more could be on hand when the restaurant/bar is busy to cater for the numbers.
Amazing, as always. We regularly return to Cabra Castle as it is such a wonderful hotel. The staff are so lovely, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is magical. Already looking forward to our next visit.
Last minute night away. Fantastic hotel great atmosphere. Hotel nice and warm and cosy. Great service even though hotel very busy with wedding and after wedding parties
Hotel was amazing but the dining was lacking due to quality of the food was pour between price, taste (very bland, almost flavorless), and the steak was very tough.
