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.

An Oasis in Kildare!

The Staff and Management at Barberstown Castle go above and beyond to make sure you have a delightful stay. This was our 2nd. visit in 4 months, and we really enjoyed our time in Barberstown Castle. Food was excellent, Loved the Room. Ted took us on a tour of the whole Castle which was amazing, already planning a return visit! Great Job Folks.

10/10 Exceptional

This property was our last and favorite stay during our Ireland travels! We stayed in 6 different hotels and this stay wowed us beyond measure. We were celebrating our anniversary and they made us feel so special at check in! At one point during our stay, the owner of the property, Ted, personally greeted us and showed such warmth to us! The menu in the restaurant was surprisingly affordable and the options were great, even for vegetarians. The room we were in, #33, blew us away, and was so comfortable and clean. What a treat!!

2/10 Poor

We arrived at Barberstown castle for a Romantic Friday night at a beautiful country location . My partner arrived at 6:45pm , 30 minutes before me and was forced to pay if she wanted to check in , I had booked the room and wanted to pay, It also seems they close the kitchen at 8:30pm, the dining room was full and the other ( external ) bar areas were closed , the restaurant and bar were booked out with casual diners, wedding and confirmation groups , we were advised to drive to Clane or Maynooth for food , we were advised to call and book these in advance , i later reviewed the hotel manual and suggested room service , they agreed but insisted I pay 12 euro room delivery charge, pay at the room door for the food … like a Takeaway but for a cold , but beautiful tasting small portioned meal … This is the Ryan air of Hotels , they create a problem and then charge you for it citing ‘ company rules and training ‘ they have lost the whole concept of ‘ Customer Experience’ I expect a little more Hospitality for 279.00 euro for one night.

Stunning, amazing and can’t wait to go back

One complaint- couldn’t stay another night. The staff where amazing, the food amazing, the room was out of this world and the price for the night was the cheapest I could find to walk into such a luxury hotel I couldn’t believe it. The rooms were very warm during the night but we are in a heat wave but can only say exceptional and can’t wait to go back there

Great stay!

We stayed here for 1 night as a stop over to Belfast. Room was comfortable, a little hot but they supplied us with a fan when we asked. Ate in the bar, food was beautiful and very reasonable. Grounds are lovely and well kept. It was recommended by a friend and we were delighted with our stay.
