Cabra Castle


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.

 

Guest Reviews of

Excellent experience, fantastic hotel and staff.

Nicolas Jaciuk on Mon Jul 11 2011

A little hard to locate especially as the one way had a bridge down and we had to drive all the way around to the other side!The dining room was a little too much for our taste but the bar food was excellant.

Jane Fisher on Sat May 21 2011

They were AMAZING!! We did not arrive until after 10:30pm. The staff went out of their way to find food for us because we had not eaten yet. They went above and beyond anything we expected. VERY NICE!!!

Christina St. Charles on Thu May 12 2011

This was our favorite castle! Everything was just perfect, from the food to the room to the customer service! Would for sure stay there again in the future!

Crystal Mckenzie on Wed Apr 6 2011

Cabra Castle started our vacation perfectly. It was nice to be in an out of the way castle. The room was gorgeous and breath-taking. The customer service was fantastic. The grounds were absolutely awe-inspiring.

Amanda Wallace on Fri Mar 25 2011

I love this castle and everything there was great but its location isnt very convenient.

Greg Miller on Mon Jan 24 2011

Cabra Castle was fantastic. The morning breakfast was fresh and delicious, the evening dinners were prepared with care and were also excellent. Our room was exceptional and warm. We were made to feel right at home.

Kathy Pappas on Wed Jan 5 2011

We had a room in the courtyard which appeared to have been recently renovated. It was very comfortable. Our only frustration with Cabra was that it was difficult to get service at the bar.

Bob Dopplehammer on Tue Dec 14 2010

This was our first stop in Ireland and we were very impressed. We loved the grounds, and the Irish Wolfhound escort that walked with us as we walked up/down the golf course. Great location close to Dublin and we also made a day's drive up into Northern Ireland, and the Mourne Mountains, which were worth the trip. Our room was great and cozy. Our only complaint was the first morning there, a coach bus departed around 6 am with luggage being pulled close to 5... and all the commotion that goes along with that. I'm sure that's not an everyday expierence - but just made our first morning a little rough.

Amy Glisson on Fri Oct 15 2010

I did not like this accommadation at all. The staff at the desk were abrupt and rude (for Ireland). the wait staff were inattentive and slow. There were parties going on, so the attention was obviously focused on them. There was music playing into the wee hours, so sleep was difficult. I would never want this hotel on my itenerary again. Also, it was quite difficult to find.

Carol Wolfe on Tue Sep 28 2010

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

Felicia Hale on Tue Mar 23 2010

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.

Jean Henry on Wed Feb 3 2010

Cabra Castle was completely amazing! We highly recommend it!

Rebecca Jones on Mon Jan 18 2010

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.

Mary Kay Obrien on Wed Dec 9 2009

The food was amazing!

Rebecca Owens on Tue Nov 10 2009

Cabra Castle a bit dusty, cold and uncomfortable.

Renay Pittman on Fri Oct 9 2009

Our favorite

Amita Kent on Mon Sep 14 2009

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.

Susan Gregson on Sat Mar 28 2009

THIS PLACE WAS A REAL TREAT.

Vicki Barlean on Tue Nov 18 2008

wonderful place..

Linda Graniero on Mon Oct 13 2008

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.

Violaine Roth on Tue Aug 26 2008

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

Bill Paterson on Mon May 26 2008

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.

Daniel Walters on Wed Oct 31 2007

Excellent

Joan Mckelvey on Fri Aug 10 2007

Beautiful place, wonderful accomodations. The wedding reception that we attended there was great.
