Great hotel and amazing food. The dining room is something to die for. I was visiting for a family wedding and the hotel provided us with being close to our family but also gave us the privacy and romantic weekend away together that we needed. Not the biggest room but everything you need and incredibly pretty and comfortable. The bar... more

Ths hotel is excellently located very close to Drogheda's historic inner town but with easy access out to the M1 motorway, making it an excellent alternative to overpriced Dublin hotels for those seeking a location close to the ferries. As a converted schoolteachers' house, it suffers the disadvantage that rooms are quite small and cramped, though adequate for an overnight... more

The welcome at reception, and in the dining room when I requested a... more

Beautiful hotel but room a bit small. Great location. more

This is a perfect example why I rely on this site for hotel recommendations. I couldn't find any mention of Scholar's (as the locals call it) in the traditional guidebooks, but booked a room for two nights based on the TripAdvisor reviews, which proved to be very accurate. This is a traditional and more elegant option for those who aren't... more

As soon as we arrived I was impressed straight away. The building itself is beautiful and the surroundings are fantastic and it is close to town centre too which was great. I cant compliment this place enough, the decor inside is fabulous. We went to our room and it was very nice, clean and comfortable. We also booked into the... more
