About

Spoon and the Stars Hostel is located in the walled medieval town of Drogheda in the Historical Boyne Valley. This beautiful early 18th century Georgian building features contemporary décor and still holds its original features including sash windows, interior woodwork, and stairwell. The hostel offers a cosy and relaxed environment with views of the Drogheda Viaduct and the River Boyne. We are a local, family owned and operated business and are happy to share our knowledge of the local area and culture.

A quick walk from the hostel is the 12th century Millmount fort, the 13th century Saint Laurence Gate, and St. Peter’s Church, among other of Drogheda’s historic landmarks. Conveniently located less than twenty minutes from Brú na Bóinne, Newgrange, Monasterboice, Slane Castle, The Battle of the Boyne, Mellifont Abbey, and Bettystown, Spoon and the Stars is the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding area and experience all Ireland has to offer.

The property is very nice and the staff were so nice but we were extremely disappointed with not having working lockers. We did however appreciate the offer to store our bags in the office it was just inconvenient. It was unclear who worked there and who was wasn’t, as the staff live on site. It was pretty loud right beside the room but the beds were comfortable. Everything provided for a great breakfast in the morning!
