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.

Headfort Arms is wonderful. We keep making the mistake of staying in Swords each trip into Dublin because of its proximity to Dublin Airport. Navan is an easy drive just a bit further for an incredible improvement in quality that’s far less expensive.
