This is a lovely, centrally-located hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are nicely appointed. We had dinner in the pub, and breakfast in the restaurant, and both were delicious!

A good work trip, staying in Kells again. Lovely hotel with a great buzz. Can't believe how busy it is ! Had an unfortunate experience without any heating in my room, but the staff brought up a portable radiator for me. One of those things tbh. Breakfast next door is great - make sure you book that for sure. Oh, and the Ceaser Salad with King Prawns is magnificent.

Great stay at Headfort Arms Hotel

Great location in centre of Kells with convenient secure parking to the rear of the hotel. Genuinely friendly and helpful staff on the front desk. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable in the newer rear block of the hotel. Our only small gripe was that the hallways and the rooms were far too hot for our liking! At least we could easily adjust the temperature in our room. Although we did not have time to experience lunch or dinner it appears to be popular with locals as the restaurant and bar were busy when we passed through. If we were in the area again we would definitely stay there again.
