At Decoy Country Cottages, we’ve created a place where families and friends can spend quality time together while still enjoying the comfort, privacy and flexibility of their own space. Set in the heart of the beautiful Boyne Valley, our collection of self-catering cottages offer everything you need for an unforgettable group getaway.
Here are five reasons why Decoy Country Cottages is the perfect choice for your next family gathering.
1. Spacious Accommodation for Every Group Size
Whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family of four or a large extended family, we have a range of cottages to suit your needs.
Our cottages can be booked individually or together, making them ideal for:
- Family reunions
- Birthday celebrations
- Anniversary weekends
- Multi-generational holidays
- Small weddings and special occasions
- Groups of friends
One of our biggest advantages is that everyone can enjoy time together during the day while still having their own private cottage to retreat to in the evening.
For larger celebrations, The Loft provides an excellent communal space, seating up to 24 guests for meals, games or special occasions.
2. Everything You Need for Relaxing Time Together
Some of the best holiday memories are made simply by spending time together.
At Decoy Country Cottages you’ll find plenty of spaces designed for exactly that.
Gather around the BBQ on warm summer evenings, enjoy outdoor dining in our covered seating area, relax and chat around the fire pit or simply sit back and admire the peaceful Meath countryside.
Inside, our spacious cottages feature fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living rooms with wood-burning stoves and everything you need to enjoy relaxed evenings with family and friends.
For those who prefer to leave the cooking to someone else, we can also arrange freshly prepared meals, catering and afternoon tea, making entertaining completely stress-free.
3. Entertainment for All Ages
Keeping everyone happy can sometimes be the biggest challenge of a family holiday, but there’s plenty to enjoy here for every generation.
Children love exploring the outdoor spaces, playground and treehouse, while adults can unwind knowing they’re in a safe countryside setting.
Guests also have access to The Den, our on-site games room and fitness suite, complete with books, board games and activities for rainy days or relaxed evenings.
Whether your family enjoys being active or simply spending time together, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
