Bellinter House is a large classic country house of Georgian heritage which, in the early 21st century, was renovated and opened as a 34-room luxury spa hotel. It is in 12 acres of parkland beside the River Boyne in County Meath, Ireland, approximately 10 km (6 miles) from Navan. Bellinter House takes its name from the townland of Ballinter (Irish: Baile an tSaoir).[1]

It is built in a Palladian style with six bays built over three floors (including basement) made of coarse rubble with fine limestone dressings. Adjoining the main part of the building and connected by single story arcades are two storey wings, creating a courtyard. In the grounds are stable block, ice house and other outbuildings.[2][3]
