Hotel berhampiran Priory of St John the Baptist, Trim

Very friendly staff when I arrived and plenty of free parking. I got a spotlessly clean room with plenty of workspace, the coffee maker in the room is a nice touch. The hotel is only 10 mins walk from the town centre. As it was a quiet Tuesday night I ate in the hotel restaurant which was good value. Breakfast, included with the room, was served in the main restaurant and it was nice to have a freshly cooked fry up, not the usual lukewarm buffet most hotels seem to have now. Looking forward to staying again in a few weeks time.

Overall The Ardboyne Hotel is a wonderful place. The location is excellent, lots of parking and gardens lovely. Inside the are many changes still my last visit. The new decor looks beautiful and I can see there are improvements being made throughout the hotel, not all complete as yet but obviously that whole hotel is going through an upgrade. The biggest asset this hotel has is its staff, there is nothing too much for them to do to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, this really is their jewel in the crown.

Had a one night stay here as we were visiting friends in the local are. I've good and and bad points about our stay. I'll start off with the bad. Far too expensive for what we got,our room wasn't the best. Very outdated and didn't feel clean. The sheets were clean and beds comfortable but the bathroom wasn't,broken tiles and rusty stains. The arm chair was disgusting,stained and old! Would not sit on it!! The shower was old and I just couldn't shower in it,it just didn't feel clean. Next morning when we were having breakfast there were a very disrupted guest who was verbally arguing with another guest, (I know you can't blame the hotel for a guests behavior)!!! However they let her carry on being disrupted for a very long time before they asked her to calm down in which didnt work. The guest contined to be verbally aggressive and no body enjoyed their breakfast due to this.and one lady expressed to me she felt uncomfortable. In my opinion the guest should have being asked to leave! The waiting staff were very young and fair enough probably didn't have the experience to deal with this,the management that was present kept telling the waiting staff what they were doing wrong in front of everybody where she should have done privately and it was only very trivial what she was criticising about she was more bothered about the trivial little things than the fact there was a very verbally disrupted guest!!!! Good points: breakfast was excellent,great choice and very fresh. Reception bar and waiting staff very friendly. Lovely bar and lovely reception area. But if the hotel is going to charge the prices they are charging in the future they really need to improve the standards of their rooms.

Stunning experience from start to finish. Arun on reception checking us in was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Lovely and smiley, kind and so helpful! The grounds were lovely, hotel gorgeous also. Food and cocktails were delicious. Waiter in the fire and salt restaurant (young Irish man, early-mid 20s (?)) was really really lovely, as was a young waitress with a dark ponytail. Your staff are a credit to you. Room was clean, bright, modern - couldn’t fault it. Spa was lovely too - a must if you can! High pitched noise woke us around midnight but that was an alarm from one of the neighbouring houses and so was not within the realm of the hotel’s responsibilities so cannot fault this - but may be an issue if you’re a light sleeper in the back of the hotel. Overall a really lovely stay in a fabulous hotel and I would definitely recommend. Already looking at packages to return soon.

Relaxing week-end break not too far from home, with cycling and walking featuring. Beautiful autumn colour throughout the extensive grounds and the weather obliged too. Hotel comfortable and staff very friendly and helpful. Dinner was disappointing the first evening, but very good on 2nd evening. Pleasant music in bar on Sat night also. Breakfast was good, however, more obvious choice of hot food would be good - eg omelettes, scrambled eggs etc.
