Decoy Country Cottages (cottage)

Home description

This newly converted courtyard is an ideal location for groups of families or friends or just a romantic break away. It is set in a beautiful, rural location but is also very central for touring the many historic sites at Newgrange, Knowth, Kells, Slane, Trim and Tara as well as Dublin. Navan, a large shopping town is 4 miles away and golf, fishing and horse racing are all available locally.

If activity is not your thing, why not try one of our treatments from our on site beauty therapists in our relaxing spa rooms, where we use Dermaogica products. You may find it very hard to drag yourself away from the architecturally designed courtyard where there is a water feature, or from the BBQ area that overlooks the rolling fields of Meath. There is also a playground and boules alley as well as a well equipped Den with TV, DVDs, videos, books, games and toys, a pool table, air hockey and a gym.
