Boyne River Valley

Newgrange is a prehistoric monument in County Meath. It was built during the Neolithic period around 3200 BC making it older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids. The site consists of a large circular mound with a stone passageway and interior chambers. The passage to the interior chamber it is aligned to face the rising sun and its light floods the chamber ONLY for a few days each side of dawn on the winter solstice.

Knowth is a Neolithic passage grave and an ancient monument of Brú na Bóinne in Ireland's valley of the River Boyne.

I was very lucky the sky put on a show when I visited Hill of Slane...

9.4/10 Exceptional! (88 reviews)

Room was small but clean and tidy, good value for money. After some confusion about actually getting in and accessing my room (probably my own fault), things were sorted out by friendly and efficient staff and my stay then went smoothly.

The Homestay Room was clean and modern. It is close to a petrol station convience store. A pub and take away is in walking distance. Ciara checked me in and was accomodating. I had difficulty using the house key and shower controls due to my infamiliarity. All said I enjoyed my stay in Ballyboughal.

The breaker kept popping so the bathroom light would not stay on when in need. Parking was not included nor discussed so it was unknown by us that we had to purchase a parking package u til the day we arrived. Then there were no parking spots available. We spent over $200 in parking to stay there.
