The Broadmeadow provides a perfectly lovely location in which to restore oneself surounded by the bucolic beauty of the aptly entitled Royal County. A particular treat for horse lovers, as the propriatry also operate a stables & riding school, a marvellous view of which I enjoyed from my broad bedroom window. This really does qualify as a sanctuary of pastural charm & tranquility, ten 'motorised' minutes from the heart of Ashbourne, with handsomely appointed rooms and grand resident lounge in which to recharge. Just don't attempt to reach the guesthouse on foot, as I did, or you are likely to be maimed before you even make it through the front door. On the debit column, the 'full' Irish could be a trifle more generous. Let's just say you won't find yourself getting fat at this fine country homestead. Oh and the staff in the salon are on hand to beautify you for a nominal fee. Nicely does it Broadmeadow.
