Agreed, the closest hotels are either the new dunboyne castle or either of the 2 hotels in ashbourne. either location 10-15 mins in a cab to fairyhouse. ashbourne might be better for going out after but the castle in dunboyne is supposed to be nice. Navan a bit far I would have thought. 25 mins from dublin. Yes. hmmm. how did that old ad go, "If you had the only car on the road..."
