Classification: Irish Tourist Board 4 Star
Proprietor: Howard Corscadden
It’s halls and courtyards once echoed with the
footsteps of Oliver Cromwell and James II. Today, the former Cormey
Castle - now Cabra Castle - offers a tranquil sanctuary to today’s
busy wayfarers. Set in 100 acres of parkland, the centre of a 1000
acre demesne, the surroundings are now part of the beautiful Dún a
Rí National Forest Park. Comfort and spaciousness are the elegant
hallmarks of Cabra Castle - just 1.5 hours from Dublin or Belfast.
Unique antiques and paintings adorn the interiors, while the Court
Room restaurant distinguishes itself with noble cuisine prepared
from the finest local produce. Relax in the Derby Bar or unwind on
the sun terrace. In addition to the 20 en suite rooms in the ‘Old
House’, the 60 Courtyard Bedrooms are located in what was formerly a
1750 granary and blacksmith. See Lady’s Lake, the enclosed gardens,
or follow the more exacting ‘nature trails’ through the forest. Tee
off on the Castle’s own 9 hole golf course. Fishing and horse riding
are nearby, while antiquaries at Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth are
within easy distance. |
