"We have enjoyed our stay at the Newgrange Hotel. Our room was nice and clean with comfortable beds. We had somewhere to sit in the room and there was a selection tea/coffee available with the coffee machine and a kettle. We did have a problem with the shower, which kept going cold but we managed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good with plenty of choice, nicely cooked and you could have just what you wanted. The meals in the pub were nice with a good choice on the menu. The entertainment on Saturday and Sunday night was great. Overall we would definitely recommend the Newgrange Hotel and we would certainly stay there again."

"I only stayed 1 night but loved it. The receptionist appeared to be training in a new staff member and she was so good with her. I had a beautiful curry in the bar which seemed to a lot of local families dining there which is always a good sign. On returning later in the evening the night porter serves me a grand pint. He was chatty and nothing was any bother to him. I will stay again.."

"We appreciated having ample parking. It seemed like a relatively new hotel and so was surprised that there was no elevator. The front desk gal offered to help carry our luggage up the stairs though. The room had enough space. All other hotels in our 4 weeks of travel had nice hand wash, shower wash, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion dispensers. The hotel dispensers here looked like what you would find in a gas station bathroom and there was only a hand soap and a body wash/shampoo combination in the shower. The breakfast staff were absolutely lovely and besides the cold buffet, you could have a made to order breakfast. The lobby and restaurant seemed busy but we were not bothered by any noise. Overall a good stay."
