Cabra Castle Hotel

The whole place was magical

I thought the fresh fruit was very limited to melon and pineapple ,which were cut in rather large chunks . I would have expected a wider range of fruit

It was difficult to access the plug behind the bedside locker in order to recharge my phone . Had to move the locker to get at the plug . Maybe there were other plugs more accessible but I didn’t see them

Everything

Just left a wedding there. Absolutely Stunning place in incredibly well kept grounds. Staff were super friendly too.

Staff were amazing!!!! So friendly. Every member of staff I passed greeted me. Extremely helpful.

Cabra Castle What can I say about our visit to Cabra Castle, it was truly, truly exceptional and surpassed my wildest dreams. We booked here for my birthday treat on a 7 day trip around Southern Ireland from Wales following the route we took 26 yrs ago for our honeymoon, although we didn’t quite come up as far as Cabra Castle. I do wonder what it would have been like back then. Cabra Castle certainly has the wow factor, set in a beautiful, charming location; just driving down towards the castle was utterly stunning, everywhere you look there is something to see and so many nooks and crannies. The grounds are great for walking around and we certainly made the most of every opportunity to get out and explore, we even bumped into the owner who was so nice and he introduced us to the two famous Irish wolfhounds who were just off duty, they were delightful. The hotel really does offer a memorable experience with its warm and professional staff, as soon as we walked through into the main foyer and reception we were made to feel very special. We were staying in rm 52 which was in the courtyard and it was so nice to be able to park right outside the room. I couldn’t believe it when I opened the door and saw our room, it was hugely spacious, uniquely decorated in plush tweeds with a huge four poster bed and a beautiful free standing bath. Everything had such attention to detail and spotlessly clean, pure luxury in every aspect. I’d been left a birthday card and chocolates which was such a lovely touch. We’d booked afternoon tea for a birthday treat and went inside the castle to the restaurant and everywhere we walked was in such ornate splendour, I couldn’t believe it, I felt very grand. The tables were set beautifully with rich linen tables clothes and napkins and sparkling silver everywhere. We were looked after impeccably and the food was sublime, so much of it we had to ask for a box to take away with us. This was truly a magical experience and we hope to come back.

We were slightly disappointed with the breakfast, it just didn’t have the wow that everything else did. I don’t think the ingredients were particularly exceptional. My husband had definitely had better full Irish breakfasts at other establishments on our trip we’d stayed at and I did think the continental breakfast could have had more to it, the fruit chunks are massive! Berries would have been nice and homemade granolas etc, just a bit more pizzazz.

Breakfast was first class.

That had to leave lol

The venue was sublime best wedding ive ever attended. Not 1 thing could be faulted really well done
