Bellinter House

Designed by Richard Cassels — the man responsible for Russborough House, Powercourt, Carton House and Leinster House — Bellinter House is tucked away on the banks of the river Boyne in County Meath and has a real old world sense of luxury. Surrounded by mature trees and extensive lawns there’s a tranquil atmosphere about the place, but when it needs to it really knows how to party too. There’s a library, pool room, bar, and drawing room for relaxing in, all on the ground floor overlooking a sweeping lawn. Every room is comfortable and slightly quirky, there’s nothing ordinary about this place which is what makes it easy to fall in love with.

This old country house is so gorgeous. Lovely for coffee with friends. Only checked out the café lounge area. But impressed.

I stayed here during the week with a friend for her birthday present. The winter blues package is an absolute steal for € 99 per person. You get the room, access to the spa facilities, a 30 minute treatment (not one each, one per room so we added one on), 2 course meal and breakfast.
We went to the spa for the afternoon when we arrived and also after breakfast the following morning. Our treatments by the friendly Nuala were great. The place was beautiful and all the staff were really friendly.
Our room was quite noisy as it was at the front of the house and they started getting deliveries at around 6 am. Windows could definitely do with being updated for better soundproofing. Also the TV hummed all night which was odd.
All in all a great experience and would recommend it!

Bellinter is a beautiful stately home hotel set in the gorgeous countryside of Meath. The hotel is owned by entrepreneurs Jay Bourke & John Reynolds who you may know from such venues as Fade Street, Market Bar and even Electric Picnic so not surprising that Bellinter is incredibly cool. The décor is sort of shabby chic but more on the chic side while still managing to be comfortable and inviting. I always feel like I’m sitting in the pages of an interiors magazine when I visit
They have two options for food and drinks in either the bar or the main restaurant. Both are excellent and they offer a lovely Sunday lunch with amazing breads and pastry from their on-​site bakery. The spa called «The Bathhouse» looks lovely but I have never been for any treatments. They have great offers on line for the hotel, spa and restaurant.
The staff are fantastic and so friendly. I am lucky enough to live close to the hotel and think the bar is a great place to go for a light bite to eat and a glass of wine but I would definitely recommend it as a hotel as it is so close to Dublin and yet is in the middle of the countryside.

I stayed here the night Foo Fighters played Slane. I’m not a fan of sitting in hours of traffic on the road back to Dublin, and that’s par for the course with Slane. Luckily, Navan is in the opposite direction, so no sitting in traffic for me!
Bellinteer House itself is wonderful. It’s an old country house, that has very much retained it’s old charm. The gardens are lovely, the facilities are great, the rooms are lovely, but it’s not overly expensive. Their services is so good, they even emailed those of us who were staying the night of the concert to see if we’d be interested in a bus to and from the show. Even less hassle for us!
Why only a 4 star review? Some of the rooms could do with a bit of care, and general overhaul. Apart from that, a fantastic place to spend a weekend relaxing.

What a beautiful secluded country house hotel this is!
Just off a busy motorway lies a world of tranquility. a truly wonderful place, I stayed there for a night and availed of the leisure facilities, I had a back massage which was very soothing. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Beautiful interiors, thick wooden doors, lovely spiral strairway that leads down into the dining room area.
Outside jacuzzi! Bathouse where you can avail of seaweed & peat Bath, facials etc. They have a great selection of treatments for a weary body!
This is generally a very pricey hotel, but I purchased a one night offer & treatment from BoardsDeals, so this made the night considerably cheaper!
Very relaxing and tranquil atmosphere :)

Oddly enough, Bellinter House was the most expensive Hotel I stayed at during my Ireland trip. Nearly 100 Euro more than more exotic locations such as the Cliff House in Ardmore including breakfast and dinner service. It was also the most stylish and packed with great amenities and helpful staff.
There’s free wi-​fi which unlike many hotels in Ireland actually extends to the room. The bathroom is awesome and the bed very comfy.
The downsides: Hot water. I don’t know why a lot of Irish hotels have this problem, but the water was never more than lukewarm. It’s also expensive. In USD nearly $ 450 per night with dinner and breakfast (which is a set menu and quite good). The TV shut off and I would have to physically hit the power switch on the TV to reset it every 15 minutes. Finally for this price in a renovated mansion hotel, it would be nice to have some control over the heaters.
Pros:
–Nice setting.
–Lots of amenities.
–Great food.
–Nice staff.
–Excellent ambiance.
–Free in-​room wi-​fi.
Cons:
–TV was not functioning properly.
–Lack of hot water.
–Pricey.
