This is a pretty decent hotel with a nice view of the River Boyne, is within walking distance from…read morethe town centre and has nice rooms. The buffet breakfast was very nice with a good variety: the full Irish, both plain and fruit yoghurts, cereals, muesli, fresh fruit and fruit salads and some amazing scrambled eggs! You also order a few things like porridge, boiled/ poached eggs, eggs Benedict, pancakes etc. I do wish they had a low fat or skim milk option available. The rooms are pretty nice! I stayed on the 4th floor which is pretty massive with a super king size bed. There's also an empty mini fridge to put your own foods, a kettle and a supply of tea and instant coffee, a fan and a small hairdryer. I also stayed in a twin room on the first floor which is much smaller but still good. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the decor is crisp and clean, and there's free wifi! Bad points: The cleaning staff don't really clean the room very well. They forgot to replace used cups and spoons a few times as well as the soap and shampoo in the bathroom. Also, there's only one desk chair in the rooms, even the twin rooms so me and my friend both couldn't use the desk at the same time. Overall: Great location, clean, friendly staff, reasonable rates for a 4 star, amazing breakfast and comfortable beds!

Arrival and check in was great! We were even greeted with ice cream. The view from the room was…read morenice and the location was excellent. We were on the 6th floor on one of the hottest, more than usual, days of the year. The room was spacious and bed size was great but the bed is one mattress on a board and was not the most comfortable but adequate. The room had modern furniture which didn't appear very clean but the bathroom and rest of the room was clean except the carpet floor. It had been vacuumed well but didn't look clean. The room was VERY hot, no air conditioner. There was a nice fan and the window barely opened to allow cooler outside air in. No outlet near the window to plug the fan in to draw cool are in so it had to be plugged in across the room. The worse problem was NO WiFi. Checked in about 4:00pm. no WiFi. Called the front desk and they said they would reboot the service and retry in 20 minutes. Went to dinner, came back still no WiFi. Called the desk about five times but they wouldn't answer the phone or return the phone call. About 6:00 I went down to the desk. She apologized and said she'd send someone up. I called back down after no one came to the room. About 9:00pm an IT guy came and said we were right, there was no internet connection and he'd go reboot the system. Bedtime and still no WiFi. The next morning and still no WiFi. Called the desk, asked for a manager and was told he doesn't come in until 9:00am but he'd relay the message. NOT ONCE DURING THE WHOLE TIME DID ANYONE CALL OR COME TO THE ROOM TO MAKE SURE WIFI WAS UP AND RUNNING. Poorest service I've had in Ireland. I'd never stay here again.

I stayed in an area of the main house and it was very fancy. I attended for a wedding and it was…read morequite expensive. It did seem like the sauna/ pools were included in the booking but we were all charged an extra 25€ which was a bit annoying though it at least wifi was included and functional. I will agree with reviews where room temp was not incredibly adjustable, though weather was fairly mild during my stay so temp was okay, while I heard other guests indicating their rooms were quite hot. The room I had was very fancy/ nice. There seemed to be a variety of spa activities to choose from, though I only used the sauna/ pools. There were a lot of fancy baths to be ordered to the rooms, which all seemed to have their own tubs. They had someone come to carry my heavy luggage up the stairs which was much appreciated. The restaurant had all good food, particularly for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was simple but good. The grounds were absolutely stunning, service was generally well done all around. This would be a great retreat for either a romantic or relaxing weekend.

This is a really nice B&B near main town centre and 5 mins from the hospital, making it pretty…read moreconvenient and a cheap place to stay. There are about 14 rooms, all with a double bed and en suite, dresser, closet and en suite bathroom making it pretty luxurious. There is also free wifi in each room as well as a TV. The rooms are like hotel standard, similar to a 3 star hotel if I were to guess. You get a kettle and cups, saucers and plates in your room for tea any time as well. The owner is really friendly and hospitable, and allows you to use the kitchen or dining area. They only provide breakfast and are pretty accommodating to preferences, but some of the stuff they serve is toast, brown bread, cereals, yoghurt, fruit, milk etc. Also hot foods like scrambled eggs, tomatoes and bacon if you request it. The shower is pretty good, just a little on the weak side but always hot. The B&B is really near a good few restaurants and cafes, and theres also a late night pharmacy, Tecso and a few other shops all within walking distance. My one star deduction is for the heating; It's kind of cold despite there being radiators in all the rooms.

Probably the friendliest and most welcoming B&B I've ever stayed in. The owner Dennis is really a…read morejoy, hearty greeting and remembers your name right off the bat, really accommodating. It's clean and made up pristinely every day, they obviously vacuum and air out the rooms for you too which is fantastic. The showers are really very decent for a B&B, and while it couldn't approach my own place I definitely had enough water pressure and the water itself was hot enough that I didn't feel I had to rush through shivering and jump right into bed to re-warm after like other places I've stayed at! It's about 5 minutes' walk from the hospital and 10 minutes' from the centre of town which is really convenient - little takeaways down the street within a 5 minutes' walk are great too. Breakfast is excellent, my ONLY complaint is that the coffee is obviously instant coffee and I'm a bit of a snob there so take that with a grain of salt! The scrambled eggs are particularly good, I suspect he puts cheese in the middle... And he's wonderful for putting out fruit etc for you to take along. Nothing to complain about by a long shot. All in all it's an experience that leaves you in a good mood in the mornings and he has a few very loyal customers who return time and time again which means a great deal, I think! I'd definitely recommend staying here to family and friends.

We wouldn't return to this money hungry place. It was our third hotel on our trip. The others were…read morehalf the price here with better food, more welcoming and well managed. I booked online for ourselves and two guests, £712 for two nights for two couples. On arrival we were met by a sullen lady receptionist in the hostility rather than hospitality business. Her greeting was 100,000 welcomes short. Avoiding eye contact, she quickly drew attention that I'd only booked one guest per room. I wasn't aware, it was my mistake booking on-line so I paid the £40 shortfall for additional breakfasts to avoid challenge at breakfast but guess what, on the first morning I was embarrassed to see our guests challenged for additional money by a manager in front of other guests in the breakfast room minutes after being shown to our table. I went to reception for a senior manager but none were on duty: I said I'd return early evening for the night. No one bothered to find me - efficiency ceased at grabbing my cash. The charming, morning reception lady couldn't explain why this happened but feeding their greed didn't work. We dined in their restaurant night one; maximum priced against least effort to make - same in their cafe. It took ages for our order to come - pizzas, salads - that came soon after I enquired from a minimum wage waitress. Staff were rushed. We dined elsewhere next night. Breakfast next morning delivered the toughest saltiest 'crispy' bacon I had the displeasure to eat: solid leathery. Any chef would know they served rubbish. I prefer fish (we got fish in the two cheaper better customer focussed hotels) but not offered here so Ireland's fishery industry is unsupported. Sausages were overcooked, plum tomatoes weren't plum but round, 'free range' eggs aren't and mushrooms tasted like they were tinned. The honey isn't honey; fake from China and Mexico - rubbish. A second coffee pour isn't offered. Waitresses carrying the pot don't make eye contact so must be called. They were, but guests shouldn't have to shout for coffee. The soft water isn't filtered so coffee/tea tastes sour, again no expense spent. I'm glad I didn't ask for cappuccino. Our in room tea bags contained micro plastics. There's irony here - the hotel shop flogs Irish produce yet at breakfast no Boyne Valley or local honey nor support Irish fishing. The tomato, brown sauce and mustard pouches are cheap with chemicals added - no better quality Heinz, HP or Colman's mustard - maximum dosh from customers minimum spent on customers. Breakfast second morning was avoidably grim - remember £180 a night for two with breakfast. The brekky menu states 'eggs any way' so avoiding horrid bacon, cheap sausages I opted for omelette 2 eggs but waitress instantly said 'we don't do omelettes' I rehearsed 'eggs any way' omelette is eggs simple, easy quick. I asked for a manager, twice in 24 hours none appeared: there was one I saw him. Management had two opportunities to speak with me directly, a third would soon arise. I expect a menu re write to not do omelettes. The polite waitress returned after a good while. She unapologetically asked what omelette I wanted - our youth are often curt and don't do hospitality well. I got an overcooked plain one. So here it's seems too much effort for high paying guests: a lazy chef. Another 100,000 welcomes and one apology short. On return to our room after our second avoidably unpleasant brekky experience in 24 hours the door key card wouldn't work. The room cleaner was next door. She refused to open the door and as English isn't her first language we understood her to say she'd go to reception as she walked away. After several minutes she returned but we had misunderstood so I entered the room she was cleaning (guests had left) to phone down. It was the lady I'd raised the money grabbing incident with; here was a third missed opportunity by management. She apologised and sent up new cards taking 15 minutes when she simply could have told the cleaner to let us into our £180 a night room. I know cards malfunction but we were peeved at all the malfunctions, money grabbing and at over three score and 10 with a belly of negotiated omelette I wasn't up for trekking to reception and back. On the matter of three score and ten and male I've sympathy for plumbing and our in-room radiator came on noisily each morning. 90 minutes swishing constantly running water sounds and clunky hissing noise so much so I couldn't get back to sleep. Climbing into the bath to shower is challenging. On departure the polite morning receptionist asked if I was sorted, indicating she had escalated my complaints. She invited me to speak to a manager but it was pointless as we were leaving. There's management here but not as we know it Jim; beam me up Scotty. Caveat Emptor applies here in spades; they forget the rule customers make paydays.

Our visit to Trim started out wonderfully. This hotel is right across from Trim Castle and…read morebeautiful walking trails. Our first night was pleasant. They had a fan in the room and the bed was comfortable. The shower and bathroom were clean and everything worked well. The staff at breakfast and at the desk were wonderful! Very kind and helpful! Then the second night came upon us. Our tour settled in after a long day of sightseeing, eager for rest and relaxation. This is where our stay took turn for the worse. Unbeknownst to us, there was to be a wedding. I tried to fall asleep at 11:00 PM while listening to bass thumping and loud announcements like I was above a rave. This went on until 2:30 a.m. I would recommend this hotel 100%, but would make sure there isn't an event at the time of your stay.

True that it is very quaint and laid back, which we from the United States could certainly use, as a break from the pace that we live in here.

I stayed here last weekend with two friends for a little girls weekend. I left it up to my friend…read moreto pick the hotel so I went in blind, not knowing what to expect and I can say I was extremely impressed. When we arrived, we had a cup of tea and some lunch in the bar. The food was lovely and extremely reasonably priced. I had a chicken ciabatta sandwich and tea which only came to €10 and the sandwich was lovely. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. After our leisurely lunch, my friend went to have her brows done while the other two of us used the leisure facilities. Steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, pool and all the work out equipment you could dream of. It wasn't too crowded which was also a bonus. After a few hours relaxing, we went back to the bar and sat out on their lovely patio and enjoyed a few drinks. The afternoon ran into the evening and we made our way to the hotel's restaurant for a 3 course meal, included with our stay. The minute I laid eyes on the menu, I was in heaven. Too many choices and all good choices. I opted for the mushroom risotto, sea bass and lemon tart for dessert. Everything was so perfect from the vibe and ambiance of the restaurant to the service and most of all, THE FOOD. Everyone at the table got something different and there was not a complaint in the house. We left with full bellies and a bottle of wine. After dinner we strolled back into the bar where they had a live band. Our stay was perfect and relaxing which was exactly what we were looking for. The service was spot on, the food was even better and the location was great. Only an hour and a half from Dublin and about 2 km outside of Cavan city centre, you could not ask for a better hotel or a better location. I will certainly be back for another girls weekend!
