We stayed in a room in their second part across the road (the Old Post Office). The room was very nice and spacious. We slept well. The Breakfast was however disappointing (little choice and expensive).
I think few things could be improved to make this place really good:
- a door mat would be a good idea as coming back in the room with wet shoes (it's Ireland!) on a cream carpet make very little sense.
- a system to limit the noise of the main front door of the Old Post Office building would be a good idea as it slams strong enough to wake you up.
- the breakfast is where most effort should focus. I had the eggs benedict and everything was overcooked (even the rasher that came with the unfortunately hard boiled egg). It would be clever to have option as granola, pastries and fruits beside what is already on offer. Fresh orange juice would also be nice instead of juice from the carton.
All in all, I would stay there again if I was to come back to Slane.

Me and my husband had lunch after our wedding at conyngham arms hotel in Slane in August this year. This was a covid concious wedding, we had reduced the number of guests to only 20 adults and so our worries were that any big space for lunch would feel empty with only a small number of people but of course also concious of social distancing. We decided to go with conyngham arms because they were close by to the place we got married in. We were not disapointed! Every single member of staff we came in contact with was just wonderful. The place we had lunch in had been intelligently arranged where we all were generously spaced between tables but also it felt lovely and cosy. The place itself was just lovely, the garden was gorgeous, the food was brilliant and they even with guidance by the brilliant Louise got the red carpet out for us! Not only that, while we were just mingling and chatting with our guests Louise was comming up with these lovely suggestions, for example because of the lovely weather to have tea outside an idea that we both did not think of, she is a skilled professional at this and it showed through our time there. It was such a fantastic experience. We stayed there after the wedding as well and again they have exceeded expectation with a beautiful bottle of prossecco left in the gorgeous room for us to enjoy. If you are planning a wedding i wholeheartedly recommend conyngham arms/boyne house, we will be staying there again i am sure of it.

My husband and myself got married in the Conyngham Arms Hotel in Slane on 3rd September 2021. We both fell in love with the look and feel of the venue immediately, especially the Library room which caters for smaller ceremonies. Our wedding co-ordinate Tracie was excellent both professionally and personally, nothing was a problem and all the staff went above and beyond to make our day so special and memorable. The decor and attention to detail was amazing and unforgettable and the atmosphere in the library room was so intimate and perfect as we had a small number of guests only 17 in total. The food was absolutely delicious and we could not fault it in any way, a big thumbs up to the chefs and kitchen staff. I would highly recommend the Conyngham Arms Hotel for a wedding venue especially if you are looking for a smaller intimate wedding. We cannot thank all the staff at the hotel enough for making our day so special and perfect. It was everything and more that we could of ever wished for.

Let me start off with the welcome the lady at
the door was very very unfriendly. We arrived to
a "How can I help you sternly at the front
entrance?!" Instead of welcome to Conyngham
Hotel.
We checked in and was aware that there was a
wedding being held so when we asked for
dinner service later we were told they don't have
space to accommodate us. What hotel books
rooms with restaurant and dinner facilities and
then aren't able to accommodate their guests
that have booked an evening stay!? We had to
drive all the way out to Drogheda to get a meal
for dinner!. The breakfast was okay, the staff in
the restaurant made up for the lack of service
from the front desk a bit. The ladies were very
friendly and helpful. I'd sooner look for a B&B
closer to Slane if I'm ever around that area
again. For the cost of the rooms I expected
much better customer service, the restaurant
bar was unmanned and we couldn't even linger
for a drink we had to find somewhere else. It's a
shame because they have an outside area
which was unmanned on the evening and a fully
stocked bar area..also unmanned. I suppose
the wedding took up all their resources(probably overbooked numbers) and they
couldn't cater for their other booked guests.
Shocking!!
This was a planned break away from the kids
and we made the best of the night with other
locations that evening but our experience at the hotel almost
ruined our evening. Will not be returning.

Dear Shaun, I am very disappointed to read that your stay with us was not as it should be. From speaking to our our reception team, I believe you were offered a table for dinner at 6:45pm but had decided to dine in drogheda. However, I do fully understand your grievances and can assure you we will be discussing these topics at our next team meeting to ensure they do not happen again. Thank you for your feedback.

I stayed at the Old Post Office which is accommodation provided by the Conyngham Arms hotel in Slane.

We arrived on a wet and dreary night after a 3 hour drive and the room was just so fantastic. It was really cosy when we arrived. Check in was a breeze! We checked in with the hotel reception and crossed the road to the Old Post Office. There was plenty of street parking and also parking available in the hotel car park.

The room was lovely. It was really warm and inviting. The windows had an extra glass panel to help keep the traffic noise out. The room was tastefully decorated and the bed was comfy. Really lovely large shower too and plenty of hot water. The room had a lovely coffee machine but a kettle for a cup of tea would be lovely. We improvised and ran the coffee machine on water to make the tea.

Breakfast was in the hotel again the following morning. We both had a fry and it was just lovely. The dining area was really nicely decorated. It is the best black pudding I've had in a hotel! Everything was freshly made.

Check out was quick and easy, which was fantastic because we were travelling to a wedding.
Overall, would definitely stay again!

Comfortable homely hotel. Booked family room for three of us - great value for money. The rooms were connected and one bathroom which was adequate. The room was well presented and had everything eg generous toiletries, bathrobes, tea/coffee, tv, hairdryer, complimentary water etc. We booked dinner on first evening which was lovely. The menu has a good selection and we enjoyed sea bass, steak and duck. Staff were efficient and friendly. There is free parking at the back of hotel. The hotel is located in centre of Slane town. Overall a very relaxing two nights spent here. Would definitely return here.

Decided to stay for a night as we wanted to walk the ramparts along the Boyne. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Hotel is beautifully decorated. Dinner in bar was lovely. Plenty of social distancing. Could see waiters cleaning and disinfecting everything after use. Bedroom was large and very comfortable . Very clean. We had a 4 poster bed which was very comfortable but quite difficult to get in and out of as it's very high. If you are not tall or able-bodied don't book one go for the ordinary bed.

Stayed at this hotel on August 2nd with my two children aged 7 and 3. Arrived to a closed door with a notice saying the bar and restaurant were closed for renovations. Had to call in the window to gain access and was told that the whole village was closed for food and I "just won't get anything anywhere". Had no communication regarding this and paid full price for the stay. Travelled to the next town for lunch and was told there would be a takeaway open later in the evening - I had to press for this information. Receptionist was cold and unhelpful. Did not offer porterage even though the hotel does not have a lift, I had a large suitcase and two small children. No takeaway available later that evening, we all went to bed hungry. During the stay, when I thought we would be able to organise dinner somewhere, I asked if I could have one glass of wine to the room with it and was told "no, but there's an off licence up the street". The full extent of their hospitality to me was to hand me a room key and send me on my way. Requested to speak with the GM after we had returned home and was told by phone that he is based at another property. Asked for phone number and was told that I "probably won't get him". Eventually had minimal contact with him, mainly to advise that my refund had been processed. Receptionist confirmed that this was his "full acknowledgment of my grievances".

Referred to Failte Ireland who opened a case, the hotel has failed to engage. Received a full refund but no accountability for my treatment. I am ashamed to think that other tourists had travelled to this destination to be treated with such contempt. This hotel should not hold a three star rating and is not fit for purpose under it's current management.

I stayed here for one night last weekend and it was the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in. We stayed in Room 1 (Fennor) which is right at the top of the stairs. People were downstairs until 3.20am and making a complete racket. I wouldn't be surprised if they woke the entire hotel when they finally went upstairs. I rang reception 5 times at around 2.45am to complain but there was no answer. The hotel does not have a 24 hour reception.

We had returned to the hotel at 10.30pm after being out for dinner and the door was locked and we rang the bell a few times bit there was no answer. After 5 or 10 mins of standing in the rain we were left in.

Other than that the room was very nice. My only complaint about the room was that there was a very strong smell of bleach in the room. We had lunch in the hotel and it was lovely as was breakfast.

The Conynham Arms Hotel hosted our wedding 12/06/2021 with 25 guests and everyone was blown away.
Tracie and Tadhg went above and beyond along with all their staff, everything was taken care of, the food was amazing and they were so attentive.
They made planning a wedding so easy (during a pandemic via zoom, I know right!)
We were blessed with nice weather and had our ceremony in the private garden which was so beautiful, we had our pictures taken in the gardens too, along with our drinks reception/canapés.
The children had such a fun time playing in the garden too.
We were unfortunately not able to do a tasting menu with the hotel which wasn’t ideal but I had nothing to be concerned about, the food was absolutely delicious!
All of the waiting staff were so approachable and the service was 10/10!
The accommodation was excellent too, great value and the rooms are all unique and beautiful!
Honestly if you are looking for a wedding venue, go and visit this place.
I would do it all over again tomorrow. Thanks again Tracie, Tadhg & the entire Conyngham Arms Team!

I would strongly advise you to look elsewhere. There are far too many stairs. I can't think of anywhere else in Slane that would suit your purposes either. There are no larger facilities, or ground floor accommodations that we could find, and no other restaurants that are reliably open. Lovely area, however I recommend you stay elsewhere and drive to see it.
