Barberstown Castle is a four-star country house & historic 13th century castle, located with easy access close to Dublin and the Leinster region and centrally located between four major motorway links in the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East. This property is one of the first great Irish country houses to display its splendour to the outside world when it opened as a small guesthouse in 1971. It has maintained the elegance of design over eight Centuries by sympathetically blending its Victorian and Elizabethan extensions with the original medieval castle keep of 1288. It was a former home of the acclaimed musician Mr. Eric Clapton from 1979 - 1987 where famous rockstars came to stay and played music into the early hours in our Green Room & Castle Keep. The castle is now privately owned & managed and has been carefully upgraded from a 10-bedroom property to a 55 bedroom Failte Ireland approved hotel.
