A closer look
A place with character.
The Conyngham Arms is a village inn rather than a country estate, and that is its charm: you spill out onto the main street of Slane, with the castle, the hill and the Boyne all within a short walk. One wedding a day, with exclusivity available.
The rooms are country style with a French accent and there are beds upstairs. Slane is 45 minutes from Dublin and close to Brú na Bóinne for the following morning.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Does exclusivity include the bar and restaurant, which serve the village?
