The Main level of the hotel is kept beautifully. Bedrooms were ok. Bathrooms need fixing up. . Beds comfortable. There was no shampoo is bathroom and the carpet needed vacuuming. Breakfast was solid. Bedrooms felt just a bit shabby.

Excellent Family-Run Hotel

fantastic family run hotel with a very personal welcome and approach to their guests. Great buzz in the hotel bar with locals and visitors adding to the atmosphere. Delicious Guiness on tap. The hotel is well known for its food and once again it didn't disappoint. I always enjoy staying here when i am in the area on business

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 !

The Headfort is an old established hotel in the centre of historic Kells. It’s very comfortable with really pleasant helpful staff. The food is excellent. I shall return and use it as a base for trips to Meath. Very much recommend it.

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.

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.

Great stay at Headfort Arms Hotel

Great location in centre of Kells with convenient secure parking to the rear of the hotel. Genuinely friendly and helpful staff on the front desk. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable in the newer rear block of the hotel. Our only small gripe was that the hallways and the rooms were far too hot for our liking! At least we could easily adjust the temperature in our room. Although we did not have time to experience lunch or dinner it appears to be popular with locals as the restaurant and bar were busy when we passed through. If we were in the area again we would definitely stay there again.
