Headfort Arms Hotel

Set in the Boyne Valley, an area rich with tradition, the Headfort Arms offers true hospitality
Conference/Banqueting 500/400. Rooms 45. B&B from €40pps, single from about €69. Food available daily 7.30am-10pm in Café Therese. Bar food Mon-Fri 4pm-9.30pm, Sat & Sun 12pm-9.30pm. Visa, MasterCard. abbreviations

 Set in the Boyne Valley, an area rich with tradition, the Headfort Arms offers true hospitality. Dating back to the mid 18th century it was originally the Marquis of Headfort’s town house and has been trading as an hotel for more than 200 years.


Since 1972 it has been owned by Tom and Peggy Duff who have given it a lot of TLC while retaining its essential characteristics as a country hotel and heart of the community.


The Headfort Lounge is a popular place to relax with a drink, meet friends or take in a sporting event on the TV. The open fire, with beautiful antique copper on the mantlepiece, is a homely focal point, and food is available all day in the adjoining Café Therese, starting with breakfast.


The 45 comfortable bedrooms include some family rooms and a corporate wing, and the Duffs have a welcome policy of ongoing refurbishment and renovation. With son Vincent and daughter Olivia now part of the team, the hotel has seen the addition of extra bedrooms and spa facilities. The Vanilla Pod restaurant (see entry) is run very successfully as an independent entity and has always focused on local foods and artisan producers.


The Headfort Arms is one of only 26 hotels to have been awarded the ‘Guaranteed Irish’ brand.
