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

CASTLE HOTEL COMBINING COMFORT WITH CHARACTER
A lovely old castle hotel which has been tastefully restored and so provides comfort with character. Friendly staff and great food. A fabulous property for a short, relaxing break.

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!

What's not to like about staying in a Castle for the night. The room was excellent with all the unique appointments one would expect in a Castle stay. Very comfortable rooms and beautiful hotel.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food offered by the restaurant was very good. The rooms were very nice, the junior suite was well worth the price. The best shower pressure I've experienced in my travels.

We had amazing stay. Heather at the front desk went above and beyond her role. Because of her, we were able to get good room. All the employees were excellent.

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.

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!!
