Forest Hills Lodge0

The room was tiny but had all the comfort and necessities needed and the bed was comfy. There was a small table and 2 chairs for breakfast, a little fridge where our breakfast was stored. We stayed 2 nights, so we had a basket where we put whatever we used, and our host would replenish it. The breakfast was copious with 2 fresh large scones from the next door bakery, butter, milk, orange juice, cornflakes. there was an electric kettle to make tea or instant coffee. Our host was very friendly and helpful. He made our reservations for dinner himself to a restaurant and a pub he recommended us. He gave us good advice in general. He told us how he fixed the place himself and was happy to share his experience.

We made reservation in March for mid-July through Booking.com and it showed that the room with a king size bed was available, which was what we were looking for. After I booked, I received a message from the owner warning me that the king-size bed room wasn't available and it was a mistake from Booking.com. Since it was only for 2 nights, we decided to take the room with a queen-size bed and fortunately, we enjoyed it. Also if you are looking to connect with the other guests, the setting isn't exactly the best since we are staying in our bedrooms for breakfast. It didn't bother me though.

Loved every minute of our stay here! Donal is an exceptional host, who has put his whole heart and soul into his establishment. His attention to detail in creating this lodge is remarkable, from the memory foam beds and high quality sheets, to the scrumptious scones from the French Patisserie in town for breakfast. He not only personally valet-parked our car, but also gave us great traveling advice about sights nearby. I highly recommend staying here and discovering the multitude of local sights, including the local pubs with live music just a short walk away.

The owner and his puppy waited and welcomed us. Very helpful and friendly like all Irish people! We were placed on the top floor of his house and slept great. The bed is of good quality. The room is not big but has everything you need for a night or two. It also has a refrigerator. The location is close to the center and you must see this popular place of Slane when you visit Ireland!

We parked on the road, but it's safe enough. The settlement is peaceful. We also had breakfast ready, but we also strengthened ourselves at the local bakery, George's Patisserie...

Amazing stay at forest hills lodge! We enjoyed the stay and found the lodge very clean and comfortable. We were taken in and made to feel very welcome and part of the lodge. The owner is very welcoming and couldn't do anymore for us. He sources the freshest ingredients including fresh pastries from the local bakery. Lovely breakfast included. We got to meet and play with their adorable doggy too! Great value for excellent accommodation. Would definitely recommend staying in forest hills lodge.

Nothing.

Everything was just perfect, very hearty atmosphere and wonderful host. Knows everything about Slane, has tips for whatever you'd like to know and welcomed us warmly. The room was tidy, clean and furnished with thought and care.

If I had to search for a downer, it would be that the breakfast nook of the room was to be handled with care in order not to bang anything against the walls, as it was tiny, but that really didn't harm the experience of the stay. :)

Donal is a great host, he insisted on helping with our luggage. He was very informative and made sure that we were comfortable and had all the information needed about our stay. Thank you for sharing your motorbikes and the dram of Slane wiskey. Donal was able to get us a dinner reservation at a local award winning restaurant, thank you. Dinner was awesome

Nothing, we would love to stay again on another trip to Ireland.

A fantastic welcome by Donal. A little local drink to say hello and a more helpful guy one could not meet. The beds and the rooms were very comfortable and all three couples were super content with our stay. The head room in one bedroom is a tiny bit restricted but it was a very trivial thing. I would recommend a stay here to my friends

Great location, great value for money and absolute diamond hosts. Donal was always up for a bit of a yarn with me and the lads, told us all the best local places to visit (including eateries and watering holes) and generally went out of his way to take good care of us.

There's nothing not to like.

Terrific Host. Spotless and cosy. Donal tipped us off to Slane Abbey, just up the road with it's St Patrick connection. Plenty of room to park in the driveway or on the street. Donal is a great source of local information and happy to share it.

Rooms have tapered ceilings like a lot of top floors in Irish houses, so basketballers beware ;).

Donal was so sweet, he waited for us even though we arrived very late (about 11:30 p.m.) He was so welcoming and lovely, giving us tips for our further trip. The room was small but very comfy and had everything we needed. Breakfast was nice and yummy. We wished we could have stayed longer, next time we will 😍

Nothing, everything was great!
