The Station House Hotel

Less than 40 minutes from Dublin, the Station House Hotel in Kilmessan, County Meath, is a beautiful country house which boasts all the amenities of a hotel with the personality of a family-run, exclusive venue.

Set in the heart of the Boyne Valley, the hotel itself is a charming, converted railway station, dating back to 1862 when the first Dublin bound trains ran through Kilmessan.

The multi award winning venue.

Holding on to the charm and magic of the past, the Station House Hotel is known for its warmth and superior service. The Station House Hotel has won numerous awards and accolades for its food and service over the years and most recently Irish Country House Venue of the year. Boutique Wedding venue of the year. Gold Medal for Irish Wedding venue of the year. The Station House prides itself on using the freshest ingredients, sourced locally as much as possible and home-made to perfection. Through partnerships with local farms including the chemical free and organic Swainstown Farm in Kilmessan village (less than 1km), Boyne Valley cheese producers, and other micro producers all within a 20 mile radius, you are guaranteed top quality food on your day.

Set on 12 acres of manicured gardens and woodland listed on the Boyne Valley Garden Trail, the original protected railway buildings offer lots of gorgeous options for your big day.

• The Turntable - a perfect outdoor ceremony location in the form of a magical stone structure deep in the woods that feels like an intimate amphitheatre, and a magical setting for your first dance under the stars.
• The Carriage Suite - once the locomotive workshop, it is now a whimsical and elegant banqueting hall, seating up to 180 guests comfortably. The garden theme is apparent in this beautiful room, with ceilings adorned with floral and foliage in amongst an array of chandeliers, whilst each of the windows are dressed with fresh eucalyptus. The Carriage Suite can also be used for the most romantic of indoor ceremonies against a cream linen back-drop and candles framing the aisle.
• The Signal Restaurant - set in the original main station hall with its high ceilings, open fire and bright and airy feel, this hopelessly chic room is also ideal for indoor ceremonies or can host smaller intimate weddings, seating up to 60 people comfortably.
• The Signal Suite, which is perhaps Ireland's most unusual and charming bridal suite! Originally the signal box where the train lines were controlled, this unique space as only one of its kind, has been converted into a two-story suite standing separate from the hotel and offering you complete privacy on your wedding day.
• Or stay in the stylish Station Master’s Suite upstairs in the Main House with its original shuttered windows and roll top bath, perfect also for pre-wedding bridal photos with the original arched sash window and silver birch tree in the back-ground.

The hotel has 19 bedrooms in total sleeping 39 guests, and these are held exclusively for you and your guests. Boasting all the amenities of a 5-star destination including plush robes and slippers, organic Voya products through-out the hotel and lots of other subtle yet special details including the evening turn-down service with hand-made chocolates and the weather forecast left on your pillow!
