Had our wedding here on Friday. We had less than 20 people, including kids, and the level of intimacy in our function room, the library, was phenomenal. Tracey, the wedding planner went above and beyond ensuring everything went without a hitch. The food, absolutely unbelievable. Hands down, the best wedding food we've ever had. Not one person had the slightest complaint. Staff were excellent, nothing was an issue. Beds were comfortable, everyone said they had a great sleep. We cannot thank everyone enough, a cracking venue. 

Exceptional venue 

We stayed here a couple nights on St. Patrick's Day weekend. Though it was a busy place, the staff was helpful in accommodating our request for an early check-in, something that is of course not guaranteed and depends on other guests' time of departure. Good food, comfortable rooms, relaxing environment.

Local charm and comfort

The Conyngham is a quaint hotel, fresh, clean, and with a welcoming & kind staff. Our room was spacious and bright, overlooking the street below. The breakfast is very nice & the tea, excellent. We found it a convenient location from New Grange to Clonmacnoise via Monasterboice.

The Conyingham Arms

Food is 10/10

Have stayed here last year for a wedding in Slane and forgot to review, but went for dinner here on Friday and it was absolutely beautiful. 
Good services, cosy dinner area, good menu and the food was 10/10  the quality was second to none. 
We particularly liked the teriyaki salmon noodle and the red Thai prawn curry. 
Well worth a visit 

Beautiful food

Stayed for one night DB&B, as a surprise for my hubby’s upcoming 50th birthday. On arrival, we met the receptionist who was friendly & chatty. Our room was ready,(earlier than expected) so we popped the bags off. We had been upgraded & the room was bright & beautifully decorated. The hotel is old & the stairs are steep, but this adds to the charm of the hotel. We went to the bar(which was busy with locals having lunch) to have some Tea & Scones which were very tasty & just from the oven. We ordered some Prosecco but the bar staff informed us that they’d just received their delivery but Prosecco never arrived & she was extremely apologetic.
    We headed off for a little walk & visited the local bars. Boyle’s being our favorite.
   We had a lovely meal in the hotel that evening  which was a lovely menu & the food was very tasty & well presented. The waiter was friendly & professional & service was prompt.
 Starters : wing’s & Camembert. Mains: steak & salmon. Dessert: only had room to share. A nice wine too which was recommended by the waiter. - Head Over Heels 🍷.
   After dinner, we headed to Boyles local bar for some live music - a great bar & ran by a lovely guy John, very friendly & he seems to know many of his patrons.
  We slept well apart from a vent/generator which was on the roof just outside our bedroom - it was quite noisy & did disturb us. The bathroom was ok, in need of a bit of TLC, the extractor fan was so loud & sounded almost like it would take off 🚀.
    Overall, a very nice stay. We would return.
Well done to all the staff. The lady looking after us for breakfast(which was freshly made to order) was also lovely & friendly. 
She even sent one of the staff to the local shop for a sliced pan as they had run out of bread. The management need to look at the process of placing orders as a hotel shouldn’t be short of bread or Prosecco (considering a wedding was on on the day of our departure)

Mid week stay

We stayed for one night and, having travelled from England, we arrived at 6.30pm to check in. During check in the receptionist told us breakfast was booked for 9:00am but we declined that time as we had a meeting the following morning and she happily booked us in for 7.45am. 
Our room had a four poster bed  (not booked). Overall the room was quite ‘tired’ in its decor but the shower was fine and the bed comfy. 
We went downstairs for dinner at 7:40pm and were greeted at the bar by a lady who told us the kitchen had closed at 7:30pm. We explained that we were residents (not walk-ins) and no-one had told us about this early finish when we checked in. She went to speak to the kitchen/chef. When she returned, she just said the answer from the chef was ‘no’ so no food could be provided. We ended up driving 10 miles to another town to get food as the only other suggestion offered by reception was a take away! 
Breakfast: a limited offering and watch out for the toaster otherwise your toast ends up on the floor!

Very disappointing

Stopped in for a late lunch this Bank Holiday Saturday. Were asked if we had a booking and expected to be turned away due to lack of availability. However it was just a question they ask ☺️ Initially felt he could have been friendlier/more courteous.
Great food, tea & coffee(definitely not the worst I have ever had 😂). Very good vibe after the initial response. Will definitely be back ☺️

Saturday lunch

Went here in May 2023 but putting this review up now because we've just had a fab meal in a sister hotel restaurant  that really  does highlight the issue with this restaurant. 

Previously been here in 2022 a few times and previous years and always had a decent quality of food.  Service is always good.  However in April the food was nothing short of deplorable.    All issues were kitchen related.    

We didn't even finish our mains.  My husband went straight to the bar to pay and tell them we were leaving and complained about the quality of the food.  What was very concerning however was that the serving staff didn't seem at all surprised - he got the impression that it wasn't the 1st complaint.  

The staff did not charge for my husbands main.  We ended up going to the bakery around the corner in Slane  - had fab sandwich and desert there instead.    

The difference in quality of food from previous experiences was very stark - will be steering well clear until the issues with the kitchen have been addressed would be interested to hear if that has happened yet).  If not perhaps some guidance from the Tankardstown Restaurant team would help...

Steer Clear till Kitchen issues sorted

The Good - I'm giving 2 stars for location and the interior of the hotel is quite nice. Receptionist was very friendly. 
Now for the bad - we booked a family room which was supposed to be 2 single beds and a double but was a double and a couch bed with a pull out underneath. Only reason I didn't complain was because my 10 year old son loved the couch bed however my 11 year old didn't want to sleep on the lower part as she was afraid her brother might fall on her during the night so she slept with me in the double and my husband slept on the lower single. Room was tiny. Bathroom was nice and very big. Shower was a bit temperamental with pressure and the temperature would fluctuate a bit. Shampoo/conditioner etc provided was lovely. There is an awful noise anytime someone in another room flushes (I presume) the toilet!!! It's nearly like an airhorn!!!! Lucky it didn't wake the kids but it woke me and I wouldn't be a light sleeper. Stayed for 2 nights, breakfast the first morning, I asked for a coffee and was directed to a large flask on the counter. I didn't really mind as I've often had nice coffee out of these but as soon as I took my first mouthful it didn't taste like coffee at all!!! In fact it didn't taste like anything!! It didn't even smell of coffee. When I said it to the woman working there she got quite defensive and said it was definitely coffee and that she made it her self. I'm sure it was actually coffee but I'm assuming it was very very weak. She didn't seem to like me complaining as got quite snappy after that. I asked her could she get me a sachet and hot water but she said "we don't use those" even though they are supplied in the rooms!! Only then did she say she could make me an Americano from the machine!!! This should have been her first response to me instead of being argumentative!! Then the Americano she brought me tasted like about 4 shots of espresso in a small cup, couldn't drink it!!! Didn't bother saying anything as kids were there. I prefer instant coffee as don't like too strong of coffee so it's not like I'm a coffee snob! Myself and my daughter ordered the pancakes with maple syrup, they came in a bowl swimming in maple syrup! Not on the side as I've only ever gotten it a hundred times before!! There was also a strange taste of them. So much so that the taste lingered for ages after. My husband and son had sausages but my son didn't like them and hubbie said they weren't great. I was so surprised as most of the reviews I read rated the food/breakfast as excellent. We travel a lot and I used to work in hotels so it's very disappointing when you have a bad experience/bad food. I read on another review here someone mentioned a while ago about the rude restaurant manager, I'm assuming that may have been same woman I dealt with! The response was they valued the feedback and would try to rectify the matter! I honestly don't know why people like that work in hospitality when they clearly do not enjoy it. And I can assure you I'm a very friendly person so it's not like I gave her an attitude or anything, I couldn't have been nicer! So we decided for the 2nd morning we would skip breakfast - something I have never done before!! (even though it was included in the rate) and have it in Navan instead on our way home. Had a suberb breakfast (and service!) In the Gate Restaurant in Navan town. 
Also hotel could do with more lighting in the alleyway to the car park, one sensor light came on near the top but down further there was none, we had to use our phone for light. 

Nice location/interior - terrible breakfast!!

We stayed in one of the guest houses belonging to the hotel for one night for a concert held in slane castle which was only about a 15 minute walk away. The guesthouse was a short walk from the hotel which was across the road and up a path. I must say it was absolutely beautiful. The guest house was gated and we received a code on check in. It felt really safe being able to park and stay while the concert was on going. The hotel were in correspondence with us coming up to the concert with advice as it was going to be really busy. The staff were really friendly on check in and check out. As we arrived early we weren’t expecting to be able to check in but to our surprise the room was ready and we were able to check in. The room was spacious with a lovely view out double doors to a courtyard  area with a table and chairs. The decor was lovely and the beds were a nice big size and very comfortable. Tea and coffee facilities available in the room.
