Across many reviews, Cabra Castle Hotel stands out for its charming castle setting, beautiful grounds, and especially warm, attentive staff, creating a memorable and distinctive stay for couples, families, and leisure travelers.
Rooms are often spacious and comfortable with period character, though some report noise from events or neighbours and warm temperatures due to a lack of air conditioning. Food and breakfast generally earn high marks, but a few guests found meals average or service inconsistent at busy times. The location is scenic and somewhat remote, making a car or advance transport planning helpful. Expect a picturesque, service-led stay in a lively wedding venue.

Facilities
Well-kept grounds, woodland walks, and a welcoming bar create plenty to enjoy on-site; outdoor lawn games are a hit, and parking beside some rooms is convenient. Frequent weddings contribute to a lively atmosphere.

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.

Fantastic place to stay even if just for one night as we did on our way back to Dublin AP. We got a large comfortable Courtside Suite fitted with a large KING bed perfect for a shining knight and me lady. We enjoyed a tasty white table cloth window view dinner (reservations recommended). After dinner and cocktails, we retired to our room only to see a great fireworks show right from our room window celebrating the bride and groom, married that day. This is a huge place and holds weddings almost on the daily, yet you don't really see the group much. There is a nice 2 mile walk through the woods and around the castle grounds which used to be a golf course, now a long private drive up to the castle. All meals are white table cloth with 4-5 star food with a moderately priced full wine list and a nice included free breakfast served at your table overlooking the castle grounds. The same table provided us a wonderful sunset for dinner. The only issue was the toilet flushing was a hit and miss effort only working about 15% of the time. Seems like it just needed an adjustment. All and all not a big deal considering this place was built in 1699, is quite large, very historical with several drinking and dining venues, throughout and a very unique stay.

We stayed in one of the lodges, a short walk from the Castle building. Grounds are parkland style. Note that the the golf course that may be mentioned in other reviews is not there anymore. The castle itself is an interesting building, nicely furnished and restored. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were good quality and had good service.

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!

The grounds and castle are beautiful. We wanted to stay in a castle so I made this reservation, however, when we checked in we were put into one of their lodge rooms so we were somewhat disappointed. The water was off in our room because maintenance wasn’t expecting anyone to stay there (they did come quickly to remedy the situation).The carpeting on the stairs to our room are in need of a good cleaning and we’re loose in some laces. The carpeting in our room also need a good cleaning. The bed was comfortable and we did have a nice view of the grassy area. Dinner in the bar was excellent as well as breakfast in the morning.

We stayed two nights after being there previously for a wedding. It was lovely. From the moment we arrived the staff couldn't have made us more welcome nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the cottages a two minute stroll from the castle itself. A beautiful quite spot and the room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had breakfast and dinner both days, the food was wonderful. Couldn't speak highly enough.... a lovely place and hope to visit again in the future.

Lovely venue. Grounds are beautiful. Beds very comfortable and rooms are a very generous size. Only grumble is the sound insulation, difficult to tackle in an old castle I’d concede but the people above or to the side don’t have to be particularly loud before it becomes intrusive. Food and service in restaurant was excellent

Beautiful, quaint property, friendly staff. Only thing was that you could hear everything from the rooms and it was very noisy. Every time the people in the room across the hall came in and out their room, it sounded like they were trying to unlock our door that’s how loud it was. Besides that it was a stunning place!

The castle was made into an amazing historic hotel complete with so much original architecture. We stayed in one of the cottages which were new builds but so well designed that you might think you were in part of a historic castle. The cottage was very spacious and well appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable.

We stayed on night in Courtyard rooms and one night in Castle! We enjoyed both for different reasons. Would next time hope to get a castle room with window looking out to the gardens but have to say the castle room was quiet and bed very comfortable. The food was lovely we had restaurant dinner one night and bar food the following night. Would recommend crab starter on Restaurant’s menu, chicken wings and fish and chips on Derby Bar menu! Because we were moving rooms they actually had castle room for us to move to instead of having to wait until 3pm to check in again! All the staff are so nice and so attentive would highly recommend!

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!

Everything you would expect in an Irish castle along with 5 star service. My wife has mobility issues so we had to change rooms. Nothing but smiles and helpful faces. Offers were made for a cart to pick us up and a special passage to get her to the breakfast room without stairs. Also tons of help with directions and things to do. The room was fit for royalty. Hated to leave but our carriage turned back into a pumpkin the next morning.

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.

The website was misleading as to the type of rooms. it shows the cottages having a balcony or a patio. My room had neither. Our party had book 3 rooms. I had requested a ground floor room due to a disability.Members of our party arrived at different times. Unfortunately they gave that room to the member of the party that arrived first rather than the person who booked the room.

From the Hotels.com information I thought that the hotel was in the centre of Kingscourt but it is on the outskirts and certainly not walking distance. The location is very picturesque and the grounds are well maintained. Without exception the staff were helpful and friendly and are a great asset to their employer. We had a room in a lodge which is not in the main building and was comfortable and clean with a decent shower, linen and toiletries. I would have had an excellent night's sleep if it hadn't been for the rowdy guests who returned in the middle of the night to move furniture and continue partying.

Our stay was absolutely fabulous! The room we had was beautiful and clean. I think we had the best night's sleep of our life on the most comfortable bed ever. The castle grounds were so pretty and easy to walk around. Dining experiences were wonderful and delicious.

We stayed in one of the lodges, a short walk from the Castle building. Grounds are parkland style. Note that the the golf course that may be mentioned in other reviews is not there anymore. The castle itself is an interesting building, nicely furnished and restored. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were good quality and had good service.

Very large comfortable room. Bed was great. We were fortunate to be there between rains or getting to the hotel restaurant from the courtyard rooms would have likely gotten us wet. Beautiful woodlands surrounding the castle. Lots of interesting history too.

The Property was wonderful, especially enjoyed the courtyard rooms. However, I was at a wedding at the staff did not even offer to provide an napkin with the Hor d'oeurves. It was a pretty upscale wedding and I the catering was done in house. The food was just okay, overdone beef and duck. The Breakfast was perfect.

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.

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.

What a pleasant surprise. The front desk and services were very helpful and timely. It was only an overnight stay but we wished we had more time to visit. The castle and grounds brought you back to the medieval times. Gardens were beautiful!! We trally enjoyed our brief stay.
