Great stop near Newgrange
Had a lovely overnight stop on our way north. Room was spotless - a little crowded with luggage. Excellent dinner in Gastropub & nice breakfast in elegant dining room.

Lovely hotel, small rooms.
The hotel is a lovely old building and very well appointed. Our room was so small we could find anywhere to put our suitcases. When we complained we were given a slightly bigger room. The staff were great and very helpful. We had to leave early and they arranged for a light breakfast.

An absolute MUST STAY if you're in Ireland
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scholar's Townhouse Hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the Old World Look of the Hotel. Although the rooms are very small, we could not have asked for a better place to stay. In deciding where to have dinner, there was no place better than the Restaurant at Scholar's. The Restaurant which has won the last 5 years in a row the prestigious Restaurant/Hotel Award was enough to convince us. We also noticed several people (assuming locals) come in to dine that were obviously not staying at the Hotel. Obviously a favorite place to dine. The food was incredible and delicious. I had the Lamb Shank special and my wife had the Hake. Everything in the Hotel and Restaurant was beautifully decorated as well. The staff was more than accommodating and service was impeccable. Will definitely make a return trip!

Outstanding Hotel.
The Hotel from the start showed class from the booking in to the end.
We arrived early and the receptionist, immediately sorted rooms out for us, even changing a room from one with a bath to one with a shower (one of the group has walking difficulties.
The staff could not do enough for you and the food was like being on master chef. Breakfast was outstanding and the waitress service 2nd to none. The bar was well stocked with a vast verity of beer's, lagers and a great selection of whiskey's.
Locally the town is run down, but the Battle of the Boyne, visitors centre is not to the missed.
The rooms though small are well equipped, though the rest of the Hotel makes up for them.
Testament to the restaurant, steak night on a Wednesday, booking well recommended as again the meal was outstanding.
Well worth a visit!!

The food and service were both exceptional and the hotel is within walking distance from many attractions. I felt very welcomed by the family who owns and operates the hotel and enjoyed the ambiance of the hotel very much. Excellent-superlative value.

Friendly & helpful staff.
Nice hotel, remodeled from a former boys school. Good quiet downtown location - a little difficult to find as there no street signs. Great friendly & helpful staff. Room was bit on the small size. Overall, still a good place to stay.

Very nice hotel in the heart of Drogheda town
Very nice hotel, very courteous staff, nicely equipped rooms. Very nice bar and restaurant in the hotel, the only downsides are the dozen or so steps up to the hotel building and the eccentric small lifts

Excellent service
We stayed two nights in Scholars Townhouse while we explored the Newgrange and other nearby area sites. Very comfortable, quiet room; nice bar and excellent food in the pub (they also have a restaurant).
But most of all, the staff was exceptionally accommodating (especially the manager Dev -- sorry if we got the name wrong), willing to help us in any way they could. The second morning, we left very early for the airport, and they put out a breakfast spread and coffee for us.

A very comfortable stay at Scholars
We had booked one night bed and breakfast. We had thought we would have our evening meal in a restaurant in town but were so pleased with the decor (which is amazing), service and amenities at Scholars we just stayed there and had a very tasty meal in the bar/lounge. I had a hake dish and my wife had risotto - both were excellent, perfectly cooked and delicious.
The staff in this hotel are excellent, friendly without being overbearing, and obviously very well trained in all aspects of service. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
I think we got the last available room, No 104, which was fine if a little small overall. It was a comfortable night's sleep! And it was intriguing to hear the children playing and running around in the school playground that backs on to the hotel, which started around 8.30am and ceased entirely with the 9.00am bell!
Breakfast was excellent, a self service buffet to start and then waitress service for the main breakfast - with a very extensive choice. Again the breakfast staff were polite and professional.
We will certainly return to Scholars having now found this perfect stop off in Drogheda when travelling from the South to our home on the North Coast.
