Loved being able to stay in the original "castle" part of the building, but the layout for the lovely bathroom (in a round turret of the building) needs to be rethought. The claw-foot tub presented quite a problem for us mobility-challenged patrons to maneuver, and left a huge puddle behind the tub after showering. Lighting in the bathroom needs improvement for applying makeup, and putting the toilet paper holder on the back wall behind the toilet made it impossible to reach. Nowhere to hang hand towels for drying out after using.

Lovely stay for family wedding.

Beautiful . Can't fault Cabra castle in any way. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Also the cleanliness was top notch. The beds were so comfortable (had two nights in the castle room and one in the lodge) I've never slept so well in a long time. Would definitely recommend, especially when they have the spa and wellness facilities. The food was absolutely delicious (wedding party) even distributing chicken and chips in cones later in the evening . The Irish breakfasts ensured i got up and raced to the dining area in the morning (something i never do anywhere else) Wish i was still there!

Amazing place.

The hotel certainly has the wow factor, from arriving to check out the service and friendly staff are amazing. The room was comfy and beautifully furnished, and the dinner in the restaurant excellent. Top marks, the only drawback was we only stayed one night .

Cabra Castle is beautiful and all parts beautifully maintained. It is like waking through a period drama. The staff were friendly and helpful and attentive to our needs. The dining area for breakfast is so elegant and the breakfast itself delicious and beautifully presented. A real treat to stay here. Thank you to the staff at Cabra.

I cannot rave about our stay here enough! Every aspect is truly first class. We stayed here for my mother’s 75th birthday. They made her feel so special all day from lunch at the bar to dinner at the restaurant no detail was missed. Food and drinks were excellent at both. The grounds are gorgeous and the rooms are spacious (we booked superior room). But what shined the most was the staff, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We had an early departure and the staff had a to go coffee ready before we departed, so many little extra touches like this made this a fabulous stay!
