Spring Has Sprung at Barberstown Castle

A Fresh Seasonal Escape Awaits

 

As the days lengthen and the first signs of spring emerge across the countryside, Barberstown Castle in Straffan, Co. Kildare is inviting guests to embrace the new season with a fresh and uplifting escape. Set within the rolling landscape of Kildare, the historic 13th-century castle is coming into bloom once again and is shedding her winter coat.

 

The Spring Escape package includes an overnight stay in one of Barberstown Castle’s elegant guest rooms, a full Irish breakfast the following morning, and a three-course evening meal in the newly refurbished Garden Bar Restaurant, where fresh, seasonal ingredients take centre stage. Guests will also enjoy a complimentary cocktail or mocktail to toast the brighter days ahead, along with an exclusive 10% discount at the nearby, Newbridge Silverware. (Spring escape packages are available from €290 per room per night with options to upgrade room type.)

 

Recent enhancements at the castle have focused on bringing the beauty of the gardens into the heart of the guest experience. Public spaces have been refreshed to feel brighter, lighter and more connected to the outdoors, with garden-facing areas designed to create a natural flow between inside and out. Large windows, soft tones and relaxed seating invite guests to linger, whether enjoying morning coffee, afternoon conversation or an evening drink as the light fades over the grounds.

The Garden Bar, in particular, reflects this renewed focus, offering a relaxed yet refined setting that opens onto the gardens during the warmer months. Here, guests can enjoy light lunches, fresh bakes, artisan coffee and expertly crafted cocktails, all while surrounded by the colours and calm of spring.

 

Set on 20 acres of landscaped gardens and located just 30 minutes from Dublin city centre and Dublin Airport, Barberstown Castle offers a rare blend of history, comfort and understated style — now enhanced by a fresh seasonal energy and a stronger connection between the castle’s interiors and its beautiful surroundings. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a countryside retreat or a break with friends, spring at Barberstown Castle promises renewal, relaxation and a memorable escape shaped by nature, great food and warm Irish hospitality.
