Cabra Castle

Wander through the magnificent reception rooms, find a quiet corner or fireside to relax with a book, or just enjoy the atmosphere. Period features and furnishings create an authentic, old-world charm and a long tradition of warm and friendly service make Cabra Castle the perfect retreat from the pace of modern living. The magnificent backdrop of Dún a Rí Forest Park, means there is much to explore, both indoors and out.

Accommodation

Cabra Castle offers a range of luxury accommodation; from authentic Medieval-style castle rooms - complete with four-poster beds - to the more Artisan-style accommodations of the courtyard, featuring old stone walls and delightful views of the walled garden. In contrast, the simpler clean lines of the cottage rooms may appeal to the more budget-conscious visitor. All of the 105 bedrooms are uniquely-designed and appointed with 4-Star facilities.
