I chose Barberstown for a two-night stay on a business trip. The hotel is located in the suburbs, with a comfortable environment and a long history. The room window overlooks the blooming pink cherry blossoms. The details of the sanitary services are very well done. It was a very good experience!

Fabulous place. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Most relaxed we've been in a long time. Our large, comfortable, and clean classic room was more like a suite. Good value. We'll be back.

Barberstown Castle is an absolute gem in gorgeous Kildare. A short car ride from the beautiful town of Maynooth Barberstown Castle is simply fabulous and was once owned by Eric Clapton. Our room was very comfortable complete with a four poster bed. The staff are extremely welcoming and the food was delicious! They offer package deals which are excellent value. Definitely one for the bucket list!
