Surrounded by 120 acres of pretty, green gardens and set in a stunning 18th-century Georgian rural residence, this sophisticated hotel provides the perfect stay for those who wish to explore County Meath and County Kildare or simply escape the noise and crowds of the city. Dublin is only 44 kilometres away, and the Hill of Tara and Castle Trim can be reached in about 30 minutes. The hotel's elegant guest rooms and suites come with modern comforts such as complimentary internet access, and the hotel also offers self-catering apartments with two bedrooms and fully-equipped kitchens. The spa features an aroma steam room, Finnish Sauna and caldarium in addition to a wide range of health and beauty treatments. Guests might choose to dine on seasonal new-world cuisine in the Pavilion Restaurant, an extensive buffet-style breakfast or lunch in the Atrium Brasserie, or upscale pub fare in the casual and cosy bar.
