I love the Headfort Arms. I travel every year with my daughters to visit my partners/their father's grave . My partner was born in Kells so the place has such significance for my daughters and their family history. The Headfort Arms has such a lot of history too, is a place that you automatically feel at home and relaxed in and the staff are helpful and warm. The breakfast is amazing.
The upper rooms only have a lift to the first floor so if you had mobility problems or was elderly, you could struggle. We have had the same room by chance located on the upper floor for the last two years and I stated in a previous review that simple things like bulbs not working and dust/ hand prints on the ceilings/walls you don't expect from such a grand looking building. The bulbs were not working last year, yes I know bulbs blow but these are spotlight bulbs that last years so I just don't think they have been replaced.

The Headfort Arms is very well run hotel in a friendly town. All the staff were polite and attentive. The room was huge, with lots of space to circulate despite the fact that we had a sofa and armchair to relax in! Breakfast was of a high quality and very plentiful. (We also ate at the associated bar next door and enjoyed that immensely.) Set in a fabulous location with a free car park, it really is a great place to stay!

Food and drink in the bar are excellent and reasonably priced. Staff very helpful, and they also came out with a candle in our dessert for my partners birthday. Room spacious, comfortable, and had all necessities available. Bed comfortable. Parking in private carpark behind the hotel. Chilled water is available from dispensers in the hallways all day. Location just a few minutes from town centre.
Not much to dislike as anything bad was insignificant or else seemed as though there was an alternative available. Air conditioning unit did not seem to function at all, but there was a plug in fan in the room which we used instead. Some general bits of wear and tear to paintwork, skirting and such like that may want to be tended to, did not affect us but might annoy others of a more agitatable disposition.

Having stayed at the hotel before, I already knew what to expect. Kells is a beautiful place & the hotel facilities are great. Myself & my two daughters shared a room with three beds. The beds are so comfortable! There are coffee/tea making facilities in your room. Fresh towels, toiletries are provided. The maid service & fresh towels are offered daily. The breakfast options at Cafe Theresa are plentiful & staff are friendly, attentive & helpful. We were asked if we wanted tea or coffee before ordering & the waiting staff gave you time to choose your breakfast whilst they got your drinks. We ate at the hotel during the evening once during our three night stay & we all enjoyed our meals. It is in a great location & access to Dublin airport via bus is almost outside the hotel. We had yet another lovely stay at the Headfort Arms & hopefully will be back very soon.
Having stayed here before, but in different rooms, some of the rooms appear to be better maintained than others. Our room was on the top floor in the roof ( No 27) & though exceptionally clean, tidy, it did lack a bit of TLC. Silly things like electric bulbs being missing, paint peeling in the bathroom & cracked floor tiles. I love this hotel & will return, it just made me sad to see this during our stay as our other rooms had been perfect. Also, if you have mobility/breathing problems, please request a first floor room, as the lift only takes you to the first floor.

The Staff are fantastic, from the second we arrived until departure they could not do enough for us. Caroline at reception is exceptionally good at her job, made us feel like we were at home. This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at, the beds are so comfy and Beautiful handmade products in the bathroom. The food was fantastic and so many restaurants to choose from. It was such a relaxing stay, I would highly recommend this hotel

As we wore spending our anniversary of 12 year's, we did get an upgraded room thanks to the lovely reception staff, our room was lovely. The staff wore lovely and helpful. We ate in the vanilla pod restaurant and food & drinks wore very nice!
Pillows in the room wore sadly awful myself and my partner unfortunately didnt have a good nights sleep at all. Room was a little cold even with rad on & windows in the room did let in alot of outside noise in and possibly heat out. we wore right next to the cleaners room also so we wore woken up by them pretty early.

Thank you, I enjoyed my stay at the Headfort Arms Hotel. It places you in an environment reminiscent of old times in a charming way. :) The room was nice, the bad was comfortable, and I appreciated the cleanliness. There was even an iron and desk available in the room. The breakfast was good and tasty

Beautiful old hotel. Our room was beautiful however up two flights of stairs was hard on me being mobility compromised. But that was my fault for not asking for a room near the elevator. Great location. Restaurant was great.
All the stairs I had to climb but my bad. The staff was slow for our breakfast both days but especially our first. We had to wait 15 minutes to get someone’s attention and had to get our own menus. Others were served that came in after us. Also not the most friendly servers. Not many smiles but maybe they we’re just tired from the long weekend rush.

The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. There were several types of dining options, from very casual to formal, and the food was very nice.
I wish there had been instructions for the complicated coffee maker in the room. Also, there was a tub/shower combination instead of a walk-in shower, and it was extremely difficult (and dangerous) to climb in and out.
