Mythique hôtel, staff accueillant et déjeuner A1

Quelle chance de pouvoir dormir dans ce mythique hôtel. L’hôtel avec ses tapis bleu nous donne l’impression d’être dans un autre temps. Quoi que très bien entretenu. Nous avions une chambre de grandeur régulière avec une grade salle de bain avec un bain à pattes qui était d’une grandeur incroyable et que j’ai adoré. Que dire du petit déjeuner… OMG, on passe ici de la possibilité d’un déjeuner à la carte typiquement Irlandais… oui oui, un gros déjeuner traditionnel irlandais en y ajoutant, à notre guise, fruits variés, scones, juifs, céréales, smoothies, yogourts, et j’en passe. L’ajout de distributeur d’eau filtrée sur une étage est aussi un plus. Mais que dire du personnel tellement gentil et accueillant, les Irlandais sont des gens tellement accueillants et généreux. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation. Merci à tout le personnel du Headfort Arms

Was booked for a wedding in this hotel and had to stay the night before due to travel, to say the staff went above and beyond for us is an understatement couldn't of been more helpful ! Hotel itself is homely and friendly , really enjoyed the fact the hotel had a separate bar attached so gave an even more relaxed feel to it. 10/10 would recommend !

A bit disjointed , restaurant was a cafe but you ordered from table . In the morning we were directed to cafe for breakfast, which was for nonresidents. When we eventually overheard somebody saying residents breakfast was in another part of hotel. The breakfast was very good and staff were great.

This is a lovely, centrally-located hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are nicely appointed. We had dinner in the pub, and breakfast in the restaurant, and both were delicious!

A good work trip, staying in Kells again. Lovely hotel with a great buzz. Can't believe how busy it is ! Had an unfortunate experience without any heating in my room, but the staff brought up a portable radiator for me. One of those things tbh. Breakfast next door is great - make sure you book that for sure. Oh, and the Ceaser Salad with King Prawns is magnificent.
