Staying at Cabra Castle is an unforgettable experience! From the manicured grounds to the welcoming staff, stately sitting areas, bar, and, of course, the castle room accommodations, were elegant yet warm and inviting. A castle with old-world charm and the comfort of modern amenities. The restaurant was very good, food delicious and the staff attentive! Would highly recommend Cabra Castle and hope to return in the future!

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.
