Bellinter House Hotel and Spa

We had a lovely 2 night stay at Bellinter, we attended a wedding locally so this was a perfect location for us. Breakfast is delicious- continental and cooked breakfast. We had dinner at the restaurant- great food and friendly/attentive service. Room (203) was spacious and had everything you needed. We had a lovely view of the grounds. Special thanks and mention to Darren who arranged for his lovely colleague to take us to the wedding as the taxi had not arrived. Very grateful! |We used the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi- even though it’s under refurb- still lovely facilities and again very friendly staff. Robes and towels provided. We got a taxi here from the airport but used a local bus service to get back to Dublin (less than 8 euros each). Overall highly recommend this hotel!

Just back from a fabulous stay at Belinter. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the bedrooms are simple and comfortable. We had a fantastic dinner. It far exceeded any hotel meal I've had in a long time - Fresh produce that is well prepared and delicious. Above all, every member of staff we encountered was outstanding. Everyone was very friendly and professional, no request was an issue. It felt like each staff member was very well trained and took pride in their work. I'd forgotten what it was like to be so well received! It was an absolute pleasure!

Everything about our break at Bellinter House was superb. We had selected it as its dog friendly and a short distance from Dublin and we discovered a Gem. We ate from the bar menu both nights and the food was really good and the staff are just lovely, a special mention to Alicia at reception who was really helpful. Also have to mention the vast grounds around the house which add to the feeling of grandeur. Our dog friendly bedroom was located in the Stables area, clean, comfortable and a good shower. We're already planning our next visit.

Visited this beautifully maintained period hotel a few weeks ago for a weekend break. Had a two night stay with dinner and breakfast. The food was superb and the service was excellent. The cocktails are really something special! The staff really went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. It speaks volumes when the staff are happy in their jobs and genuinely helpful. The grounds are fabulous. Waking up the sound of birds singing rather than traffic is just an added bonus. It's a bit like a Downton Abbey but with a bright modern twist. I'm already looking at booking another stay.

I recently stayed here for a midweek getaway and was blown away from the minute I drove up the driveway. The grounds are just beautiful and so peaceful! We stayed in the east wing rooms and they were spotless and spacious. The food both at dinner and breakfast was amazing, and of course the cocktails were great too. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They told us there are lots of upgrades planned for the hotel and the spa so I will definitely be back to check them out and to also avail of their spa since I didn’t get to this time around.

Just finished our fourth stay at Bellinteer House. It's our go to place for a special stay away. A charming place with the friendliest staff. We ate in the restaurant and both had the steak, it does have a supplement but it is worth every penny. A special word this time to receptionist Shirley - thank you. Looking forward to our next visit.

Really nice night away. Room was clean and cosy. Service was friendly. Food for lunch and dinner was delicious. The cocktails are some of the best I have tasted. The grounds are lovely for a walk. The spa is under renovation so understandably not at its best.

Customer service didn't appear a priority during our mid week stay. Even prior to our stay, I had to chase emails with phone calls and calls with emails before getting answers to queries. Upon arrival there was a lady post op who was really struggling to carry her luggage down the stairway outside in the LASHINGS of rain. No staff offered to assist her. She was cautious and appreciated the help that I offered. Their guest information QR code was detailed in regards to noise pollution stating a €500 fine would be incurred if any guests were the culprits of noise. No mention of it though when it was the hotel making noise. 7am we had workmen drilling and shouting to each other outside our room. No compensation offered when we phoned down to ask for someone to assist the stopping of same. Again, on check out, advised that the noise was an issue and no compensation other than "hopefully next time you stay all building work will be complete" That would have been fine if we had been informed of this prior to arrival or at check in but at neither point did that happen. The food was really nice and the staff for the breakfast were the nicest we encountered. Very welcoming and pleasant with smiles on their faces. Based on this experience I wouldn't recommend or stay again.

I loved it there, I stayed there a night to get my nephew his birthday present, the scenery was beautiful and the food was lovely. Big thanks to my good friend Harry Batt for recommending this place for me. I would definitely recommend this place if you're staying in Meath!

I booked a bank holiday weekend away with the missus and stayed here and I have to say It is a very beatiful place to stay, It is a very good hotel the chefs are very Accommodating, I cannot thank Harry Batt O'Brien a good friend of my son for reccomending this hotel. I will definitely be staying here again! Thank you all at Bellinter.

Bellinter House is a gorgeous spot for afternoon tea on a special occasion or even just a nice lunch out if you're after a change of scenery and something a little different to your ordinary cafe. Dining areas located in the front drawing room and in main living room area directly past the reception desk. It is usually quite busy here so sometimes it can be good to book ahead. I've been here twice for afternoon tea, and have called ahead to avail of a vegan and gluten free afternoon tea cake tier at no extra charge, something I really appreciate from the chefs in Bellinter. Staff are mostly very friendly and helpful and the seating areas are roomy with beautiful views onto the grounds and River Blackwater if you happen to get a spot near a window. The decor is absolutely stunning within the premises. There is also a spa on location, and you can avail of spa treatments even if you do not happen to be staying at the location. I would recommend Bellinter House as I think it is a beautiful spot in a fabulous reclusive setting.

What a beautiful secluded country house hotel this is! Just off a busy motorway lies a world of tranquility. a truly wonderful place, I stayed there for a night and availed of the leisure facilities, I had a back massage which was very soothing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful interiors, thick wooden doors, lovely spiral strairway that leads down into the dining room area. Outside jacuzzi! Bathouse where you can avail of seaweed & peat Bath, facials etc. They have a great selection of treatments for a weary body! This is generally a very pricey hotel, but I purchased a one night offer & treatment from BoardsDeals, so this made the night considerably cheaper! Very relaxing and tranquil atmosphere :)

Oddly enough, Bellinter House was the most expensive Hotel I stayed at during my Ireland trip. Nearly 100 Euro more than more exotic locations such as the Cliff House in Ardmore including breakfast and dinner service. It was also the most stylish and packed with great amenities and helpful staff. There's free wi-fi which unlike many hotels in Ireland actually extends to the room. The bathroom is awesome and the bed very comfy. The downsides: Hot water. I don't know why a lot of Irish hotels have this problem, but the water was never more than lukewarm. It's also expensive. In USD nearly $450 per night with dinner and breakfast (which is a set menu and quite good). The TV shut off and I would have to physically hit the power switch on the TV to reset it every 15 minutes. Finally for this price in a renovated mansion hotel, it would be nice to have some control over the heaters. Pros: -Nice setting. -Lots of amenities. -Great food. -Nice staff. -Excellent ambiance. -Free in-room wi-fi. Cons: -TV was not functioning properly. -Lack of hot water. -Pricey.

Bellinter is a beautiful stately home hotel set in the gorgeous countryside of Meath. The hotel is owned by entrepreneurs Jay Bourke & John Reynolds who you may know from such venues as Fade Street, Market Bar and even Electric Picnic so not surprising that Bellinter is incredibly cool. The décor is sort of shabby chic but more on the chic side while still managing to be comfortable and inviting. I always feel like I'm sitting in the pages of an interiors magazine when I visit They have two options for food and drinks in either the bar or the main restaurant. Both are excellent and they offer a lovely Sunday lunch with amazing breads and pastry from their on-site bakery. The spa called "The Bathhouse" looks lovely but I have never been for any treatments. They have great offers on line for the hotel, spa and restaurant. The staff are fantastic and so friendly. I am lucky enough to live close to the hotel and think the bar is a great place to go for a light bite to eat and a glass of wine but I would definitely recommend it as a hotel as it is so close to Dublin and yet is in the middle of the countryside.

This place is special. The drive from Dublin is short and scenic, and the countryside around the hotel is beautiful.

I stayed here during the week with a friend for her birthday present. The winter blues package is an absolute steal for €99 per person. You get the room, access to the spa facilities, a 30 minute treatment (not one each, one per room so we added one on), 2 course meal and breakfast. We went to the spa for the afternoon when we arrived and also after breakfast the following morning. Our treatments by the friendly Nuala were great. The place was beautiful and all the staff were really friendly. Our room was quite noisy as it was at the front of the house and they started getting deliveries at around 6 am. Windows could definitely do with being updated for better soundproofing. Also the TV hummed all night which was odd. All in all a great experience and would recommend it!

I stayed here the night Foo Fighters played Slane. I'm not a fan of sitting in hours of traffic on the road back to Dublin, and that's par for the course with Slane. Luckily, Navan is in the opposite direction, so no sitting in traffic for me! Bellinteer House itself is wonderful. It's an old country house, that has very much retained it's old charm. The gardens are lovely, the facilities are great, the rooms are lovely, but it's not overly expensive. Their services is so good, they even emailed those of us who were staying the night of the concert to see if we'd be interested in a bus to and from the show. Even less hassle for us! Why only a 4 star review? Some of the rooms could do with a bit of care, and general overhaul. Apart from that, a fantastic place to spend a weekend relaxing.

This old country house is so gorgeous. Lovely for coffee with friends. Only checked out the cafe lounge area. But impressed.

Designed by Richard Cassels - the man responsible for Russborough House, Powercourt, Carton House and Leinster House - Bellinter House is tucked away on the banks of the river Boyne in County Meath and has a real old world sense of luxury. Surrounded by mature trees and extensive lawns there's a tranquil atmosphere about the place, but when it needs to it really knows how to party too. There's a library, pool room, bar, and drawing room for relaxing in, all on the ground floor overlooking a sweeping lawn. Every room is comfortable and slightly quirky, there's nothing ordinary about this place which is what makes it easy to fall in love with.

Had my wedding here and can't recommend enough! Amazing staff, food , hospitality! Cosy, relaxing , lovely ambience the whole weekend making us never want to leave. We felt like it was our house ! So happy with our wedding venue choice ! The staff are wonderful and the food delish.. the eclectic mix of antique and modern decor makes for a very quirky interior. We have been here many times on the run up to our wedding for lunch , dinner etc and will be back time and time again.. its 'the feel' of the place that makes it so special and this is difficult to put into words...

We adored this funky, chic hotel in Meath. What a great place to unwind, enjoy the countryside, a proper Irish tea service, some oversized lawn chess, and a lovely, restorative night's sleep that'll make you feel like you've been euthanized. It's a cool place to stay. Leave those other stuffy countryside manors to the snooty, soulless wannabes. We stayed in the main house with giant wooden shutters, a bathroom as big as the bedroom, and felt like we were guests at a friend's house. The kind of friend who has a gorgeous mansion in the countryside and some good grounds to walk in. They even give you wellies for the rain. Go to Bellinter House as soon as possible. You deserve it.

Such a beautiful spot where you can really relax and switch off. Have stayed here a few times now and used all of the facilities. The rooms in the wings of the house are slightly more modern and less expensive than those in the main part of the house but I also think they are far cosier and enjoy the benefit of less noise. This is a big flouncy duvet place and they have a few nice touches like stunning wardrobes, exposed wood beams and tunnocks tea cakes instead of boring bikkies in the tea tray. Oh how i wish all hotels would do this! The pool is small but tranquil and there is a small steam room and sauna. There is also a fab, but small, hot-tub outside surrounded by trees with a gorgeous countryside view. I have been in this in the snow with my robe hanging from a branch nearby and it is an unbeatable way to chill out. The restaurant is in the basement and I believe it's run by the people who run Ely in meeting house square. The food is excellent. Food and cocktails are also available in the bar and I prefer to eat here curled up in front of the roaring fire enjoying the piles of magazines and papers. Why am I telling you this! I must be crazy to be sharing it and risking never being able to get a room again! There is also a billiards table off the bar and a library with books, dvds and wellies all there for you to borrow. Finally - and no offense is meant here but I think it's worth mentioning - the nearest town is Navan. Navan offers little to almost no diversion from the delights of Bellinter. At best you will kill a couple of hours in the shops and pubs. I count this as a serious bonus being one of those people who sometimes finds it hard to go to a hotel and stay there instead of exploring! Parking can be a bit rubbish when the weather is dodgy - be warned. Maybe unload the bags at the door with someone to mind them and then park and walk back to the house without them.
