What to do in Drogheda
Boyne Valley: Private Whiskey Tour with Slane Castle Distillery
"Rooms were clean, but noisy, the windows did not open fully, and it was hot inside, and the hotel did not have A/C in rooms. Only given two bath towels. Bed was comfortable, but pillows flimsy. Great bar and pub, good for dinner, but breakfast was so so. The staff was okay"
"This is a very charming spot that we stumbled upon due to some changes in our travel plans. It was a very pleasant stay with an incredible staff. The included breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very comfortable with a babbling creek right outside the windows. If you are in the area it is a wonderful place to stay."
