The rooms are set in the new part of the hotel but the decor is old style with many of the rooms adorned with four poster beds. We ate in the keep which is beautifully maintained in original furnishing and grey blocks with a huge fireplace. The bar is equally comfortable. The food was prepared for twelve of us and... More

Without a doubt this hotel must be in the top five wedding venues in Ireland. We were blown away by it. Love the banquet hall, so different from your average hotel, you actually feel like you're in a castle. Wonderful staff, gorgeous food. Can't fault it! More

We stayed one night at Barberstown Castle as part of a wedding party. The hotel had several wings. We did not have time to explore the entire hotel, but the parts we saw were well-maintained and clean. The foyer was large and spacious. We found the reception staff to be very attentive. Our room was off a spacious corridor that... More

We attended a wedding at Barberstown Castle recently. I was very impressed with the hotel. The room was very nice, with plenty of space and a large four poster bed. The wedding reception itself was very well laid out and the food was extremely good. Most of all we were very impressed with the staff, they were extremely courteous and... More

We stayed in the hotel old rooms. Staff cordial but not overly helpful on arrival. Next morning the problems started! No hot Water, plumber or staff member did not show up to room to assist after telephone calls to reception. Arrived 10 mins late for breakfast as a result of waiting for assistance with water and refused to serve us... More

I have gone to few events in Barberstown over the years, I was always very impressed by the food, rooms and service. So much so that my wife and I decided to have our wedding reception there. Considering we live in London and my wife is from Yorkshire it should have been a hard sell to my parents in law.... More

I have never stayed in Barberstown as I love locally, but have eaten here on many occasions. The food is always cooked to perfection, it is a little pricey but the quality of the food always reflects this. Also, each time I have been there they have always brought out complimentary tasters from the chef, which I think is a... More

I stayed here a few years ago for a work Christmas party. We had our dinner in the dungeon room, it was amazing! The food was superb and the accommodation was lovely. More

We stayed here for a wedding recently and while we enjoyed our overnight trip there were a few things that bothered me. The wedding reception was great fun but I thought the function room left a lot to be desired, the acoustics were terrible, I couldn't hear anyone talking bar the folks to my immediate left and right. It is... More

As it is almost 4 months since our wedding date and we have had time to get full feedback from all our family and friends that attended our wedding in July, we wanted to share the review we sent to Barberstown Castle. The team at Barberstown will go above and beyond to ensure that your day is everything and more... More
