Set in 100 acres of parkland, the centre of a 1000 acre demesne, the sorroundings are now part of the Dun na Ri National Forest Park. Comfort and spaciousness are the elegant hallmarks of Cabra Castle - just 1.5 hours from Dublin or Belfast.
Cabra Castle boasts a proud history dating as far back as 1760. It's long history lends a mature, cultured air to the Castle which can be felt by one and all as they stroll along the Castle's magnificent hallways and stairwells where they once echoed to the footsteps of Oliver Cromwell and James II. Today, the former Cormey Castle - now Cabra Castle - offers a tranquil sanctuary to today's busy wayfarers.
In addition to the 20 en suite rooms in the ' Old House ', the 44 en suite Courtyard Bedrooms are located in what was formerly a 1750 granary & blacksmith. Relax in The Derby Bar or unwind on the sun terrace where they serve light snacks throughout the day. When evening falls dine in Cabra Castle's superb Court Room Restaurant. The Castle offers conference facilities for both 24 hour delegates and day delegates and there is also choice of Suites catering from 10 delegates to 200.
Cabra Castle also offers it's guests the chance to play on one of the most scenic golf courses in Ireland. This 9 hole golf course is situated within the hotel grounds and offers the most fantastic views of Carbra Castle. Horse Riding, Fishing and Shooting are available locally and can be booked through the hotel.
With such antiquaries like Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth within easy reach this is sure to be a memorable stay.

very nice but could not enjoy as much as we liked as we had to leave very early to get to the airport.

We liked this as well but didn't stay both nights. My sister and I were hesitant about driving into Dublin in the dark and at rush hour. Something we would consider for our next trip to Ireland.

Cabra Castle was completely amazing! We highly recommend it!

We did not get there till late afternoon. Our driver did not seem to know how to get there and had to ask for directions numerous times. I would have liked to visit the surrounding area some but that didn't seem to be an option with our driver. We had a wonderful dinner but there was nothing to do afterward, the bar was closed. My 82 yr old mothers heat didn't work in her room and she was in a room away from us so that was a problem. The castle itself is gorgeous and very well kept.

Very helpful, friendly people at reception. Although located in a rural area, it was near enough to the airport. Fun experience for our last night in Ireland.

wonderful place..

The initial room allocated to us did not have the feel of a castle, but more of a 3* hotel. We asked to change rooms and were very satisfied with what we got.

very difficult to find as we drove to Cavan. Would recommend more specific directions but overall an excellent choice.

Front desk staff a bit stodgey, but the room was huge and the walled garden/courtyard was beautiful!
Ed Cater on Wed Mar 26 2008
Would have liked to have a room located near the main building, but overall a wonderful experience.

Beautiful place, wonderful accomodations. The wedding reception that we attended there was great.
"I just wanted to let you know our Ireland trip was fabulous!! Thank you so much! Your recommendation to Adare Manor was a top tip! I went to Ashford Castle as well, it was very very nice to, but my preference is still Adare Manor. I just wish that I had booked 2 nights there instead of just one. The B&Bs were TOP too! Especially the one in Kilkieren up in Galway. Barbara was lovely and couldn't have done more to make our stay memorable. The Hillside House is definately one you can recommend to anyone!" -- Silke
