Experience It! Cabra Castle Cabra Castle stands on 100 acres of gardens and parkland, with delightful views over the

Cavan countryside, famous for its beautiful lakes. Formerly known as Cormey Castle, the

history of the castle dates back to the pre-Cromwellian times of the 16th century. The

property was bought in the early 19th century by Colonel Joseph Pratt who rebuilt it,

renaming it as Cabra Castle. Its long legacy lends a mature, cultured air to the castle

which can be felt by strolling through the castle’s magnificent hallways and stairwells.

Experience this history when you enjoy an overnight stay on the castle grounds. The

rooms are outfitted to the highest standards with every comfort and modern facilities. The

bar and restaurant offer views of the countryside famous for its lakes and fishing, as well

as Dun an Ri Forest Park.
