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.

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.

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
