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

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.
