Claim this listingStaying in Navan
The county town of Meath, sitting where the Blackwater meets the Boyne, and the natural base for exploring the river valley’s ring of ancient and medieval sites.
Navan grew up at the confluence of the Rivers Boyne and Blackwater, a site important enough that the Anglo-Normans raised a motte and bailey castle here in the 1180s and later enclosed the town within walls as an outpost of the Pale. As Meath’s county town it has a working, everyday feel rather than a touristy one, which suits a B&B stay aimed at using it as a base rather than a destination in itself.
The Boyne Ramparts Walk is the best reason to linger in the town itself, a towpath route following the old Boyne Navigation canal out towards Stackallen, passing the medieval remains of Babes Bridge and the ruined Dunmoe Castle on its banks. It is flat, well-marked walking through a landscape that has carried trade and history for centuries.
Navan’s real strength as a base, though, is what surrounds it. The Hill of Tara, seat of the high kings of Ireland, is about 20 minutes south, Trim with its Norman castle is a similar distance away, and the passage tombs of Newgrange and the Boyne Valley Drive, taking in Slane and the 1690 Battle of the Boyne site, are all within easy reach for the day.

Booking Athlumney Manor direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Athlumney Manor holds a 4-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
