Highfield House is a well-established boutique inn in beautiful gardens overlooking the Boyne River near Trim Castle.
We had a spacious family room at the front of the inn with windows overlooking the gardens and river. The view from the shower was stunning.
The location is great for visiting all of the sites of the Historic Boyne Valley such as Newgrange and the battlefield. We walked 10 minutes to town for dinner, and since we did not book breakfast, to a bakery that serves as a gathering place for locals each morning. Following a tour of the castle, we walked along the river trail to the ruins of 12th century “New Town” and back to Highfield House for an enjoyable, leisurely day.
Highfield House is just a half-hour drive from Dublin Airport so it offers a pleasant, restful alternative to spending the night before a morning flight in some dismal airport hotel or fighting the traffic from a city central hotel.
