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.

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!

The website was misleading as to the type of rooms. it shows the cottages having a balcony or a patio. My room had neither. Our party had book 3 rooms. I had requested a ground floor room due to a disability.Members of our party arrived at different times. Unfortunately they gave that room to the member of the party that arrived first rather than the person who booked the room.

The main property is pretty and interesting. I didn’t pay enough attention when booking and wound up in the b and b which is down the hill from the “castle.” These were lodges/cabins with no period feel at all to match that of the main property. It was comfortable but needs some upkeep. The main property was built to look like a castle but was never an actual castle. Still it is really pretty inside and out. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and in a pretty room of the main building. We enjoyed the continental breakfast more than what we ordered. The pastries were fresh and delicious!!Delicious cappuccino!

Loved being able to stay in the original "castle" part of the building, but the layout for the lovely bathroom (in a round turret of the building) needs to be rethought. The claw-foot tub presented quite a problem for us mobility-challenged patrons to maneuver, and left a huge puddle behind the tub after showering. Lighting in the bathroom needs improvement for applying makeup, and putting the toilet paper holder on the back wall behind the toilet made it impossible to reach. Nowhere to hang hand towels for drying out after using.
