Wow...I don't even know where to begin. This place is an absolute gem! My only complaint was that I booked it for one night.
First off, words cannot explain my reaction when driving up to Drummond Tower. When I travel I tend to enjoy visiting smaller cities and villages, so I was looking forward to getting out of Dublin, however, I was not expecting just how amazing it would be. We got a taxi out of Drogheda and the drive out was beautiful. Plenty of green pastures lined the road with cows staring while you passed by. We were greeted at the entrance to the tower by the cutest and sweetest spaniel pup ever, which absolutely made our day since we were missing our own spaniel back home. The crisp air and silence was so refreshing after a week and a half of traveling around multiple large cities. We immediately settled in and started exploring the tower. The renovations and attention to detail are so perfect. It has everything you could need while there, but still embodies a historical, original, and magical feel. I can only assume that was Eanan's intent, and as a civil engineer, I know how hard it can be to take a vision and make it a reality.
Secondly, Eanan was a great host. He responded to all of my questions and messages quickly and even went as far as personally delivering an air mattress since we had an extra person. The check-in process was easy and we had no issues at all getting out to the tower even though we didn't rent a car.
I look forward to visiting again (this time for more than one night) and exploring the surrounding area. I cannot rate this place high enough. It exceeded all expectations!
