Not sure about this hotel being 4 stars - I may have just been in one of the older rooms that need some maintenance - but actually I’m glad I was there. The rooms have a good amount of space, good sound proofing (had some noisy neighbors that you could here in the hall but not once in the room), loved the complimentary filtered water in the glass carafe. Breakfast is good and staff is friendly. The restaurant is very good with reasonable prices. You don’t even need a car to stay here if coming from Dublin. The bus drops you off close to the hotel. Also, was a brisk 18-20+minute walk to the main town where I went twice, for dinner and to catch the bus to spend the afternoon at Trim. This is a great location and great choice for staying in the Boyne Valley.
