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

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.
Alan, 1-night trip

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.

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!!
