10/10 Excellent
"I booked a room on the Monday morning of our arrival date as we were driving from Belfast to Dublin airport early the next morning for a Barcelona flight .Fog was predicted in the early hours of Tuesday morning so we thought it safer to drive down to Malahide on the day before for a shorter/safer car journey to the airport.On arrival I was greeted by Margaret, one of the receptionists,I explained to Margaret that the only room we could find whilst booking online was a double room which wasn't really suitable for my cousin & I, Margaret changed our accommodation to a twin room which suited us much better.I also explained to Margaret that we would be leaving for Dublin airport at 6.00 AM the next morning and as breakfast was due to start at 6.00 I asked for a takeaway breakfast to be made up, Margaret arranged this and we duly picked this up early the next morning. Excellent service by Margaret on reception !"

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Drogheda is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Drogheda for beaches is Laytown, just a short drive south of the town centre.

Laytown is a coastal village known for its extensive sandy beach, which is popular for walking and swimming. The area is quite spread out, with many houses and a few local shops and eateries dotted along the main road that runs parallel to the coastline. It's a nice, open area with direct access to the Irish Sea.

This area is particularly well-suited for families. The wide, sandy beach provides plenty of space for children to play, build sandcastles, and enjoy the sea without feeling crowded.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Drogheda?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Drogheda is during July and August. These months offer the warmest weather, with average temperatures around 18-20°C, providing ideal conditions for enjoying the coastal scenery and local beaches like those in nearby Bettystown or Laytown. This period sees vibrant activity around the seaside towns, great for families looking to make the most of the summer holidays. The longer daylight hours are great for leisurely strolls along the shore or exploring the Boyne Valley's historic sites. With all local attractions and beachside amenities fully operational, it's a time of convenience and lively option.

For those seeking a slightly different experience, June presents a fantastic alternative. While still offering wonderfully pleasant weather, with temperatures often reaching 16-18°C, it's a time when you may find better value on premium beach hotels and it can be easier to secure reservations for popular dining spots.
What beach activities should we do in Drogheda?
The best beach activities in Drogheda involve exploring the offerings at Mornington Beach and Clogherhead Beach.

Mornington Beach, located at the mouth of the River Boyne, is a good spot for a relaxing day out. The beach itself is a long stretch of sand, ideal for gentle strolls and enjoying the coastal air. Visitors can explore the Maiden Tower, a historic navigation marker that stands prominently on the dunes, offering a glimpse into the area's maritime past. This beach is particularly well-suited for families looking for a calm environment with space for children to play and explore the natural surroundings.

Clogherhead Beach, a Blue Flag beach, is another excellent option, known for its clean waters and scenic views. It's located north of Drogheda and is popular for swimming and coastal walks. The village of Clogherhead itself is a working fishing village, so you'll often see fishing boats in the harbour. Couples looking for a picturesque walk can enjoy the cliff path that offers expansive views of the Irish Sea and the Cooley Mountains in the distance.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Drogheda for you.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Drogheda with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards program—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Drogheda beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals. *Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
How much does a beach hotel in Drogheda cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Drogheda vary, but you can find a great deal from AU$143 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Is it cheaper to book a Drogheda beach hotel and flights as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
