Meath B&Bs
B&Bs in Meath for Newgrange and the Boyne valley
Meath carries the title of the Royal County from the Hill of Tara, ancient seat of Ireland's High Kings, and the Boyne valley around it holds Newgrange and the wider Brú na Bóinne complex, passage tombs older than Egypt's pyramids. Navan and Slane give the county its practical bases.
Navan and the Hill of Tara
Navan, the county town, sits within easy reach of the Hill of Tara, where Ireland's High Kings were once inaugurated, and of Trim Castle a short drive further on, the largest Norman castle in the country.
Slane and the Boyne valley
Slane, overlooked by Slane Castle and its long concert history, sits at the heart of the Boyne valley, with Newgrange and the Brú na Bóinne passage tombs a few minutes outside the village.
B&Bs in Ashbourne and south Meath
Ashbourne, closest to Dublin of Meath's towns, suits visitors wanting the Boyne valley and Dublin both within reach of the same B&B, a quieter and often better-value alternative to staying in the city itself.

Not sure where to base yourself?B&Bs in Bettystown, on Meath's short coastline
Meath's coastline is brief but real, and Bettystown's long strand gives a beach option not far from the Boyne valley's ancient sites, a practical way to balance history with an afternoon by the sea.
Bettystown strand
Bettystown's beach runs for several kilometres along the Irish Sea, popular for a walk or a swim and close enough to Drogheda and the Boyne valley to fit into the same day.
The Battle of the Boyne site
The Battle of the Boyne visitor centre at Oldbridge, between Slane and Drogheda, marks the site of the decisive 1690 battle and gives another layer of history to a Boyne valley stay.

Frequently asked
B&Bs in Meath, common questions
How far is Newgrange from a Meath B&B?
Newgrange sits within a short drive of Slane, Navan and Drogheda, so most Meath B&Bs put it within twenty to thirty minutes, and the Brú na Bóinne visitor centre is the only way to access the tomb itself.
Why is Meath called the Royal County?
The name comes from the Hill of Tara, traditionally the seat of Ireland's High Kings, which sits in County Meath and gives the county its royal association.
Is Trim Castle worth visiting alongside Newgrange?
Yes, Trim Castle is the largest Norman castle in Ireland and sits a short drive from both Navan and the Boyne valley sites, making it an easy addition to the same trip.
Can I combine a Meath stay with Dublin?
Yes, Ashbourne in south Meath sits close enough to Dublin that a B&B there works for visitors wanting both the city and the Boyne valley within reach of the same base.
