Great breakfast and staff. Shower pressure was world-class. For a castle hotel I might expect a larger room and AC.

Stay in a Castle
Lovely stay at this hotel. Grounds are beautiful, lots of places to stroll or take photos of castle. Had some issues with toilet and chairs in room were older and too low to sit in. Room was warm but able to open windows and that helped. Canopied bed was very comfortable, heavy comforter which would be wonderful on a cold day. Fine dining restaurant was closed so we ate in the Garden Bar. Very noisy but food and service good. Breakfast in castle very nice with good selection on buffet and a number of hot choices as well.

This castle hotel FAR exceeded our expectations! The rooms were massive; the water pressure so strong; the food delicious; the grounds impeccable; the decor exquisite; and saving the best for last, the staff were amazing and went above and beyond. They had to be the friendliest, kindest, most helpful humans in all of Ireland! I HIGHLY recommend this stay!

Stayed here for the first time last year and cannot express how wonderful it is. Booked in for almost a week this April and again…the staff, fantastic, especially Bethan, who was my breakfast waitress each morning, a lovely person, exuded compassion and kindness. Food was excellent, service second to none. Emma at the from desk was fab. Lorna, I missed this year as she is traveling. Rooms are so luxurious and the shower…powerful! A must when you’re from NY, we are spoilt with our water pressure😜. Highly recommend and it is very central.

I wish we would have had more time to explore the grounds at the Barberstown Castle. The inside was gorgeous and had so much character and history!! It was just a short overnight stay! Next time it will be longer!!
