Nothing about Bettystown which is a pleasant place to stay for a couple of days. But a warning for travellers to the Cherbourg or Holyhead ferries concerning the toll roads around Dublin. It's complicated! The M50 is a toll motorway that acts as a ring road from south of Dublin to north of Dublin, including a spur from the junction with the M1 into Dublin port where the ferries are based. Part of it is a toll road but the toll element is only between Junctions 6 and 7 to the west of Dublin and do not figure in the trip from Bettystown. This is, however quite difficult to work out to a person of normal intelligence such as myself and is also not stated explicitly on the website in a manner that is user-friendly. (The problem is alsocompounded by the fact that there are no toll barriers - payment is prompted by ANPR cameras. This makes it difficult for foreigners to pay any toll charges, but the informed traveller will have done his reseacrh and figured this for himself). Having wrongly assumed I would have to pay a toll I phoned the number on the website the day before and gave my details to a friendly but rather bemused operative and then further assumed a trouble-free journey to the ferryport. Alas I had got it wrong. I had not realised that the M50 section from the M1 junction into the ferryport was part of a different toll scheme, that of the Dublin Port Tunnel. We duly passed through the tunnel and arrived at a toll booth where I was stung for €3,50. Fortunately I had the cash to hand and even more fortunately there was a real person in the toll booth and not an ANPR camera. Had it been camera only I would not have known that I needed to pay and would have been stung with a hefty fine. This happened to me in Portugal some years ago so I'm always alert for camera-only schemes but this one caused a lot of confusion.

Socket on both sides of bed.also socket near dressing table for using hair applliances.lovely friendly hotel was made very welcome.breakfast delicious as was all meals.my 12 yr old granddaughter loved her stay there beach right beside us!!

Absolutely love bettystown ! Small town vibe where everybody knows everyone and yet they welcome you to events and the crowd where ever you go. Beach is fab for a morning stroll while watching the horses trot along with their trainers ! Must visit destination

A nice seaside village with one main street and one hotel which has a bar and accommodation. The beach is picturesque, safe and lovely for long walks. It is so flat that they run horse races along it a couple of times per year.

Bettystown has a lovely beach - it is a quiet location which is convenient to Drogheda and a lot of other local attractions. The village itself is a bit tired with a lot of places closed. There are a few coffee shops. It could really do with a bit of a facelift to bring it more up-to-date and to attract more visitors.

Sure we were there mid-week (end of June) but it seemed a bit sleepy. The weather was lovely - sunny and warm. Our food & stay at Reddan's was great. Would highly recommend. The man working at the Funtasia casino booth seemed like we were bothering him to ask 1 question or to get change. So we didn't stay. There were about 6 or 7 ppl in the place. You would think he would try to be more pleasant & not discourage the few customers he had. I was the only person in the area where the tipping point games are, with occasionally a few young teens running about. If your looking for a quiet get-a-way this is it. I think the kids would love the games area.
