If you have been looking for a family hotel with all the facilities of the typical chain hotel but all the charm of a country farmhouse inn then in Boolies Country Hotel you may have found it.
The main Bar has an open fire, natural rough-stone walls and a glowing, soothing atmosphere; the entertainment rooms are intimate and welcoming, and in the beautifully-designed and atmospheric restaurant, each table enjoys privacy using clever Chinese-style screens. The delicious food, prepared by innovative and meticulous chefs, combines traditional favourite dishes with exotic surprises.
The charm of Boolies Country Hotel, imaginatively created from the ruins of a c.19 farm complex, lies in the stonework. Many original stone cow-byre walls have been retained inside as well as outside, and additions have been sensitively crafted so that it is hard to tell the old from the new.
Boolies Country Hotel, is just a mile from the town of Oldcastle, Co Meath in a lovely rural setting with fresh breezes and splendid views across stone-walled pastures to the Loughcrew Hills and ancient (5,000 y.o.) passage graves which give the illusion of another place - Kerry, or Donegal perhaps - and another age. |
