A beautiful hotel with outstanding staff
Pros:

Just finished the most fantastic weekend in the Ardboyne hotel. We attended my sister's wedding which was magical. From start to finish I can not fault the staff, in particular Jo, Teresa and Kealy the ladies went above and beyond in every way to ensure all guests especially bridal party had everything we could possibly need. It is very clear that they are the very best at what they do.

Every single guest in attendance said the same thing that the staff were fantastic. From bar and restaurant staff, events team, reception to housekeeping they all went above and beyond. The venue was beautiful, food was fantastic and grounds were stunning for pictures.

We can't thank you enough for a Beautiful weekend. We will be back soon,I would not hesitate to recommend the Ardboyne hotel for a wedding or just a relaxing weekend away.

Poor pricing
Pros:

A group of 30 of us, school bus drivers and there school bus escorts went for breakfast, all very slapdash, first we were sent to a private room (Taylor Suite) then to be told wrong room we were moved to Hugo's, the restaurant.
I ordered poached eggs with bacon on toast, comes with tea.
I was charged €14.95 for it and the full Irish breakfast was €13.50.
No prices on the menu.
When I asked about the price I was told it's what the computer says.
Honestly you couldn't make it up.
I don't know how they got the fourth star, definitely not for their service or there prices.

4 star? Not by my experience!
Pros:

Staff were nice

Cons:

First appearances were very disappointing....the front door has brass panels that are all chipped and worn. The rest of the brass looked as if it was never polished.
We were in rooms 109/110 which looked directly into another wing of the hotel. This was separated by a concrete passage which was full of rubbish. There was no natural light in the rooms and window sills full of cobwebs and leaves

The bathroom has a soap dispenser placed about a foot away from sink. There were no extras like face clothes body lotion etc.
The timber floor in the dining room was dull and sticky. One has to wonder how the hotel earned 4 stars...based on our experience...

Give it a skip...
Pros:

Would not recommend at all. We were in Rooms 109/110 where it looks directly across to another extension. In between is a stone coridoor full of rubbish as was our window sills - leaves, cobwebs etc.
TV remote control was not working.Advertised were 'toileteries in bathroom '-But all that was provided wasa soap despenser a foot away from wash basin, no face cloth, no moisturiser.
Front door is a DISGRACE - brass all peeling and tarnished. Dining room floor dirty looking and sticky.

2 nights good jumping off point for sights!
Pros:

Nice hotel, service was very good! They tried really hard to make sure you were happy. The room was nice but a little dated, chairs dirty, carpet showing wear. Locate was good for a jumping off point to see the castle of Trim, hills of Tara etc.

Cons:

Some of the things were just not as clean as I would have preferred. Breakfast one day was terrible and excellent the next!
