Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Caroline LDublin, Ireland34 contributionsThis past weekend I visited Ireland's Ancient East. One of the OPW sites I had an opportunity to enjoy was Mellifont Abbey (or Old Mellifont Abbey)
Even though it was wet outside, Nicola gave a terrific tour to myself and a French family. We learned about the history of the Cistercian order, how the abbey was founded and its evolution to modern times. Its clear she has a passion for history and a love for the location itself.
The exhibit was terrific and the walk through the site with somebody who could re-create it in our minds eye, was important.
Plenty of parking and toilets were a welcome sight
I always do the tour if possible.Written 6 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was showing a foreign visitor aroud who was fascinated to see the head of St. Oliver Plunkett but I was quietly confident that he'd love rhe Church too once there.
Obviously everyone comes to see the head preserved in a glass jar to the front left as you enter. I remember doing in on a school your when I was about 9 years old! It's macabre but fascinating and they have a very interesting explanatory set of wall panels to rhe side.
The rest of the chirch is besutiful too, though and that's what's often forgotten. The stained glass in particular is very impressive .Written 5 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We really enjoyed our time here and left feeling really delighted that we had been. There is something so much more inviting about visiting a home rather than a monumentWritten 5 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It consists of two lofty circular towers, connected together by a wall, in which there is an archway. Visitors can appreciate the spectacular dimensions of the mediaeval walls south of the gate at Featherbed Lane.The attraction is worth seeing until today in very good condition.Written 6 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- petermwachsBelfast, UK56 contributionsWhat a great visit to this wee Gem close to an ancient monastic site!
A most helpful staff, energetic, experienced and very welcoming made our visit a highlight of this Ireland tour for my valued guests
Talking about gin, all its ingredients like juniper, all kind of herbs, flowers and spices.
What a tasting room, wee distillery, and hand production line.
A family business , some 5 years old, run by neighbours and friends of the family.
After starting with gin and vodka, now going into whiskey.
And if the talk, visit and tasting is not enough, you can even join one of the weekend gin schools where you distill your own creation of gin. Wow! Couldn't get any better!Written 13 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Martin LKusadasi, Türkiye6 contributionsThe Agustinian church in Drogheda is such a welcoming and open church. The priests there are wonderful. Mass there is such an uplifting experience and if you are lucky to go to the 1.15 mass on a Sunday if the gospel group are singing there are no words to describe how much you feel the presence of GodWritten 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gillian P4 contributionsI contacted the theatre for the first time today to book w/chair access tickets for my family to attend the panto in December 2024 and spoke with a lovely young lady, named Ashling. She was such a joy to deal with & made the whole process so easy & quick. She was informative, very professional & made a brilliant first impression. My family are already looking forward to making our first visit to the theatre in December & attending the panto. Thanks Ashling.Written 22 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,390 contributionsAbsolutely love the monastic site at Monasterboice. Muirdeachs High Cross is magnificent. It features in most Irish school History books and with good reason as it utterly majestic. Very well preserved too considering it's age. The North and West Crosses are also beautiful as is the round tower that dominates the site. The grveyatds and church ruins are so peaceful and serene.
There's a small hut on the way in that was closed on our visit as it's out of season but I'd imagine it may sell souvenirs or even guided tours in summer? There's a decent sized free car park across the road opposite the entrance path and toilet facilities are available.
It's well signposted but it's a bit off the beaten track down tiny back roads. Trust the signs and you'll see the round tower looming as you approach.Written 10 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The course is challenging and wild, and grants you unforgettable emotions.
