The Station House Hotel in

I had an overnight stay with my best friend in the most miserable February weather for decades. To say the quality of the stay was diametrically opposed to the filth of the weather is a practically criminal understatement. From the moment we got to reception to the minute we left we were minded like babies. We had lunch in the bar - a ham and cheese toastie of gourmet standard, with the most perfect chips I’ve ever tasted. Even the garnish (leafy greens with slivers of roasted peppers and home pickled red onions, all completely seasoned and properly dressed) was delicious. We washed it down with a chilled glass of Snare Point and a very welcome sense of decompression. The barman served us with humour and very professional attention. Our room was absolutely gorgeous. Floral maximalism in design, with dual aspect windows and a lovely en suite. In terms of cleanliness - it was flawless (I checked the skirting board for dust!). We had more wine, chats and watched the latest episode of RHOBH (no shade please). I had a long shower, with Voya (my favourite) products and drank more wine and put on my face in my plentiful fluffy bath sheet. Dinner was perfect. Bread (with butter and a lovely peppery EVOO) an amuse bouche of seafood bisque, ham hock terrine, roasted salmon with velvety mash and creamy leeks. I had no room for dessert. We went back to the room for face masks, wine, telly and gossip. I slept like an innocent on a heavenly bed with crisp sheets and pair of feather pillows. Breakfast was had in room (pure luxury compared to normal life) and it was hot, tasty and came with loads of coffee. After a nap, another epic shower and with a heavy heart we went to check out. Part of our package included coffee and scones, which we had forgotten. The lovely receptionist (Carmel, I think) reminded us and set us up in the bar. Homemade, warm scones with homemade jam and whipped cream and coffee were the most perfect way to end our stay. I expect quality when I book a hotel that features in Ireland’s Blue Book, but the Station House Hotel is more than quality. Details are everything for me and from the chocolates, water and Voya pillow spray in the room, the many umbrellas at reception, the water with ice and lemon at lunch that was brought to us without having to ask, to the fact that all of the food was perfectly seasoned, it’s clear that details matter to all at the Station House Hotel too. Probably because it is family owned and run by a woman who has (I suspect) even higher standards than I; and because the staff all genuinely care that you have a perfect time (delivered with tons of warm personality instead of that soulless, corporate deference you get in big 5 star hotels), this hotel is in a class of its own.

Beautiful setting, lovely friendly staff, very relaxing excellent food

what a special special venue this is !!! got to photograph a wedding here last year for the first time and its just one that has stuck with me ever since. From the outdoor ceremony space to amazingly kept ground and from gorgeous food to amazing staff theres something you truly magical about this place

We were here for a family wedding. Lucky enough to have a room in the venue. Stunning space for wedding. Food was amazing.

We had a wonderful experience at The Station House recently. This restaurant is superb. We arrived on a cold winter evening to a welcoming fire, and the experience only improved from there. This is your traditional high-end restaurant, with immaculate table linen, antique salt and pepper shakers, and beautiful silverware. The food is the the star of the show - and that is saying a lot given the standard of this restaurant - cooked to perfection and piping hot when served, which seems to be a dying trend in restaurants of late. The food was served promptly, and the staff could not have been more welcoming or friendly. Thank you to all involved, both front of house and behind the scenes; it is not easy to establish a venue of this standard, but you struck the perfect cord with The Station House.

We had the pleasure of indulging in the Boyne Valley tasting dinner and it was incredible! Every course was super fresh and we were really blown away by the monk fish and scallops which were locally caught and so soft and tasty! The staff were all very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was quiet and warm. I love the lighting and design and the historic feel of the entire place. My brother is a very picky eater and he not only eat all 7 courses but said he couldn't pick which was his favorite!! The wine was perfect and at the end we were full and very satisfied with a lot of flavors and experiences to talk about. They have great vegan options including a mushroom wellington, a risotto, and a vegan curry and all were absolutely delicious and the staff were all very accommodating!

Another fabulous tasting dinner last night! Can't decide which course was my favourite- all was so amazing. The ambience was top end - The whole place looks like an elegant Christmas wonderland. What an excellent experience- would highly recommend checking out the Station House!

We were at a wedding here and it was just lovely
