The castle itself was amazing, the food and service was great. The lodge was very nice but would say it doesn't measure up to staying in the hotel. I would recommend a castle room and take advantage of the beautiful dinner and amazing breakfast. Great value for a castle hotel! Would stay again.

Did not expect to stay in a fairly modern room several hundred meters from the castle, but it was clean and quiet. The breakfast was to die for and the setting inside the castle was exquisite. Loved our stay!

Beautiful, quaint property, friendly staff. Only thing was that you could hear everything from the rooms and it was very noisy. Every time the people in the room across the hall came in and out their room, it sounded like they were trying to unlock our door that’s how loud it was. Besides that it was a stunning place!

There are numerous important historic sites in counties Louth and Meath (e.g. Trim Castle and Monasterboice) that are well worth a visit. Nevertheless, the attraction and destination were Cabra Castle Hotel. We were not disappointed. The Castle is impressive inside and out during the day and at night, it is truly spectacular. The grounds are beautiful as well. We stayed in one of the cottage rooms which was large, comfortable, and nicely appointed. As noted in other reviews, it was necessary to open windows to cool the room to a comfortable temperature. My wife and I had dinner in the dining room, and it was a charming and delightful experience. Our entrées were good but not memorable. The hotel staff was welcoming and professional. We enjoyed our one-night stay at the Castle.
