Perfect place to stay while visiting Drogheda and Newgrange
Pros:

The room had a lovely view out front of the hotel and looking across to the town. In the evening, the dinner was fantastic , nice setting, food was great and attentive waiting staff. The breakfast was in another dinning room, spacious and again very tasty. Overall, I liked everything and will stay here again when visiting town.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great.

Pros:

Staff were all excellent and the venue is beautiful

Cons:

Personally chairs in room would be nice.
However lack of tea and coffee facilities in the room. You cam request complementary tea and coffee but there is nothing like having the facility of making a hot drink when required.
