Conyngham Arms Hotel Slane

We used this hotel several times in the last few months to visit family. The first time we stayed across the road in some fabulous suites. It was quiet, spacious and surrounded by green space and trees. The second time it was the same. Both occasions we returned to the main hotel across the street to have breakfast, drinks etc. It was perfect. The third time, the only room was in the main building of the hotel with a tight squeeze to park the car down into the carpark behind. The room was adequate but had a view of a flat roof and the bathroom door was more like a wardrobe. The staff are mainly lovely, the breakfast very good and it is clean. Just try to bag the quiet rooms they have across the road. It is quite pricey for one night stays at the weekend but midweek they have better pricing.

This hotel along with Bru na Bonnie visit turned to be a highlight of our trip! We were lucky to be upgraded to king size room in House Boyde in a property just 1min away from the hotel and it was absolutely perfect - the view, privacy, shower and bath, specious room and they also provided a crib. Breakfast was fabulous and a la carte - freshly cooked and exactly as we asked. Will recommend to everyone traveling to Ireland as a lovely combo for curious in prehistoric structures and quality lodging.

A very friendly hotel, extremely conveniently placed to visit the wonderful Newgrange neolithic site and the Brú na Boinne visitor centre. The rooms are spotless and the staff could not be more helpful. Our flight time was changed at the last minute and we found ourselves with time to fill on a very wet day. The staff ensured we were looked after in the hotel library room, so we could sit, enjoy a day of reading and watch the world go by. Slane is also a pretty destination worth a stopover in its own right, Slane Hill is where St Patrick reputedly started his mission in Ireland.

We have just returned from an overnight stay with family in the Conyngham Arms.|It was a big occasion for us as we were having a family meet up and we decided to all meet for dinner in the hotel. There were twelve of us altogether but it was no trouble for the staff of the Conyngham Arms and they set aside the library room for us to eat together. They only had one day's notice of our descent on the hotel en masse for dinner but they did a superb job.|The library room was beautifully presented and needless to say, we had a great time.||As to the breakfast on offer in the hotel, I really don't know how they make a profit on the price charged for room and breakfast. The full Irish breakfast was huge! |The presentation of the breakfast was very good and made with really good quality products.|I found the hotel to be spotlessly clean and the bathroom was very well stocked with products, the amount of such is usually only found in pricier accomodation.|There was also a complimentary range of tea, coffee and water on offer.|I was very pleased to find an iron, ironing board and hair dryer available in the room.||The Conyngham Arms really looks after its guests and seems to think of everything possible to make our stay comfortable and hassle free.|Thank you all. We will be back.||Maria Boylan.

A charming hotel with tons of character. We stayed here overnight, for it‘s proximity to Emerald Park. Beautiful surroundings and some nice pubs nearby. Full Irish was excellent but please - get some decent coffee in!

Got married here and we stayed in the boyne house. Boyne house was unreal, rooms are massive and beds are really comfortable. Huge dining area where we had food brought over by the hotel. Food was so nice and the service was brilliant. Day of the wedding the hotel staff were unbelievable, from the floor staff to the bar staff. Special shout out to the unbelievable Tracy who was so helpful throughout. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a venue for a wedding. You will be in great hands with Tracy.

This was a great boutique hotel not far from Newgrange. Our room had a double bed and a trundle bed for my kids (a raised single bed with a mattress under it that could be pulled out). Breakfast was delicious & you had several options to choose from. Dinner was also very good, but you should make a reservation if you know you’re going to be eating there. There is a nice lounge area where you can go to work or enjoy a beverage of choice. The hotel is NOT handicapped accessible.

We really enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived. Reception staff extremely helpful and helpful. Food was excellent. Bedroom was very comfortable and very clean. Great sleep in a very comfortable room. Will be looking forward to our next visit to Slane.

The service here was spectacular! Everyone we encountered was so nice and pleasant. The rooms were comfortable, and it was nice to have the hotel bar. Our breakfast was included as well which is a huge perk. We stayed here before visiting Emerald Park as this was recommended on their website. It is within good distance to the park, but is an expensive cab ride if you aren't driving yourself there!

Got a deal on one of the sites for a a two nights stay in the hotel. The hotel itself is lovely- the atmosphere is friendly and warm, the food in the restaurant was excellent too, really enjoyed the drinks at the bar also. Room was quite big and really nice, but the bed was a disaster. It was a four poster bed ( which I was very excited about, looked great in the pictures, but soon the excitement turned into a disappointment) and it creaked A LOT and the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. Was very hard to get a good nights sleep! Breakfast on the morning was excellent! All in all a pleasant enough experience, but the beds need some care!

I always thought Slane consisted of just a castle and a very large field for concerts but turns out they have a picturesque village too. We found Conynghams when we were on our way to Tankardstown House for Sunday lunch. We decided to stay here instead but turns out they are owned by the same people anyway. The hotel is very pretty outside and draws you in. The restaurant was packed and we got the last table. One thing that puts me off eating out on Sundays is most places only offer a limited carvery menu. At initial glance unfortunately Conynghams was the same, pork, beef, salmon etc but seeing the dishes coming thankfully this wasn't the type of carvery you would get in your local pub. I had serious Yorkshire pudding envy which everyone seemed to be ordering, they were huge! In the end I opted for the pork belly which was melt in your mouth stuff. There is a lovely garden out the back for drinks after if you want and the rooms in this place have the kind of decor girls will drool over, i know I did. Definitely a place to bring the girlfriend, mother or family for a day out.

I was up in the air about what to expect from Conyngham Arms Hotel. After a christening, we were invited to enjoy a 3 course meal with about 30 other guests. In the back of the restaurant they have a lovely private room called the Lavender Room which included private bar, our own wait staff and a lovely back garden. The room was set up very elegantly and the service was spot on. The choices were excellent for a 3 course meal an especially serving 30 people at once. The choices for starters were between soup and fresh homemade bread or a chicken Cesar salad, the main course was either a lovely cut of beef or salmon, both served with seasonal veggies, and finally the dessert was an apple crumble with custard. I always find it hard when eating at a large gathering to decide what to choose as you wonder will my meat be overcooked for my main amongst many other concerns. I do have to say I had the salmon and salad as my starter and everything was just perfect. After enjoying a lovely meal, excellent service and a few cocktails we were able to lounge in the back garden and soak up a bit of sun. The back patio/beer garden/back garden (whatever you prefer) easily accommodated 30-40 people with small tables and picnic benches. It was covered with flowers and trees. For a moment I forgot I was in Slane and thought that I was on holidays! When leaving, what I did see of the restaurant itself looked very nice. The decor was very vintage and country which is exactly what I love. One side of the place seemed to be more loungy for coffee, tea and cakes fitted out with sofas and oversized chairs. The other side was more for eating with a small, tasteful bar. Although I don't travel to Slane regularly, I will certainly be back for a visit to eat here!

I stayed here for a wedding. I think it's overpriced but I had no choice to stay here. The room was nice but a little small. The food was ok-nothing to brag about. check in should be at 3pm not 4pm. Those staying at the sister hotel Tankardstown had far superior rooms for a lot less. Also transport to and from the hotels was not free nor arranged which was disappointing. If you want to stay in an overpriced hotel this is for but my guess there are lovelier hotels in the area. If it weren't for the wedding, I would have stayed somewhere else.

My wife absolutely loves this place. When we lived in Slane, once in a while we would take a walk down the street to here. The atmosphere in the main restaurant has a cozy feel to it and it has never been too loud in there that I can not hear the person in front of me talking. The chairs are also fairly comfortable which is a must for me. The menu is good although my wife always went with the shrimp starter. She loved it so much that the chef actually gave her some of the sauce to take home with her once time. I liked their Caesar salad as it didn't taste like mayo on lettuce. It actually tasted like Caesar dressing. Although the chef did joke with me about me wanting a steak well done. He made it medium for me and I haven't looked at well done steak since.
