Barberstown Castle

We had a beautiful stay with Bed & Breakfast, and booked dinner in advance. The whole experience was wonderful. So close to Dublin and yet felt like a weekend away!

We arrived at Barberstown castle for a Romantic Friday night at a beautiful country location . My partner arrived at 6:45pm , 30 minutes before me and was forced to pay if she wanted to check in , I had booked the room and wanted to pay, It also seems they close the kitchen at 8:30pm, the dining room was full and the other ( external ) bar areas were closed , the restaurant and bar were booked out with casual diners, wedding and confirmation groups , we were advised to drive to Clane or Maynooth for food , we were advised to call and book these in advance , i later reviewed the hotel manual and suggested room service , they agreed but insisted I pay 12 euro room delivery charge, pay at the room door for the food … like a Takeaway but for a cold , but beautiful tasting small portioned meal … This is the Ryan air of Hotels , they create a problem and then charge you for it citing ‘ company rules and training ‘ they have lost the whole concept of ‘ Customer Experience’ I expect a little more Hospitality for 279.00 euro for one night.

This was really the highlight of our trip

Fabulous overnight stay for a family celebration. Wonderful food and wonderful service. Beautiful decor. Highly recommend

One complaint- couldn’t stay another night. The staff where amazing, the food amazing, the room was out of this world and the price for the night was the cheapest I could find to walk into such a luxury hotel I couldn’t believe it. The rooms were very warm during the night but we are in a heat wave but can only say exceptional and can’t wait to go back there

We stayed here for 1 night as a stop over to Belfast. Room was comfortable, a little hot but they supplied us with a fan when we asked. Ate in the bar, food was beautiful and very reasonable. Grounds are lovely and well kept. It was recommended by a friend and we were delighted with our stay.

This property exceeded expectations in every way except maybe food. Definitely put it on your agenda as a must stay.

Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again . Live music on Saturday in the bar was very good

The bed was old and rock hard and lumpy. The pillows were like bags of cement. The TV didn’t work. Service was minimal at dinner, the order incomplete and no attention from staff which limited service. Breakfast was even more of a joke . I actually mentioned my concerns after being asked about my stay on check out and despite being promised that the manager would contact, I have still not heard any response.

Beautiful property with incredible staff! Can't wait to return!!
