Sometimes a romantic break isn’t about doing more, it’s about slowing down, spending time together and enjoying a change of pace. At Decoy Country Cottages, romance comes naturally through peaceful surroundings, thoughtful touches and the space to simply reconnect.
We offer a quiet, relaxed setting that feels removed from the rush of everyday life, while still being close to historic sites, great food and scenic walks.
The Perfect Cottages for Couples
For couples looking for a cosy and intimate escape, The Tack Room is a favourite. Designed with two people in mind, it offers a warm, welcoming space with a luxurious bedroom, jacuzzi bath and a stove to relax in front of after a day exploring. Split over two floors, it gives a lovely sense of privacy and comfort, ideal for anniversaries, Valentine’s breaks, honeymoons or a surprise getaway for someone special.
The Hen House is another great option for couples who want a little more space or are travelling with a small child or pet. This charming cottage is warm and inviting, spread over two floors, with views of the landscaped courtyard. Its cosy layout makes it a lovely choice for a relaxed countryside stay without feeling isolated.
While these two cottages are especially suited to couples, we also offer a range of other beautifully finished cottages that work just as well for friends travelling together, double couples, or small groups celebrating a special occasion. With eight boutique cottages on site, it’s easy to plan a shared break while still enjoying privacy and comfort.
Little Extras That Make a Stay Special
A romantic break is often about the details. Guests can arrange champagne, flowers and chocolates in their cottage on arrival, or organise a special meal delivered directly to the door, allowing you to relax without worrying about plans.
Things to Do Together
The Boyne Valley is rich in history and natural beauty, making it ideal for unhurried days out together. Take a stroll through ancient sites like Newgrange, the Hill of Tara or Trim Castle, or enjoy a peaceful walk or cycle along the Boyne Valley to Lakelands Greenway.
Closer to home, Decoy’s grounds are perfect for relaxed walks, quiet moments in the courtyard, or evenings spent under the stars. It’s a setting that naturally encourages you to switch off and enjoy each other’s company.
Places to Eat and Drink
Romantic breaks often revolve around good food, and Meath has plenty to offer. From cosy local pubs to excellent restaurants serving seasonal Irish produce, there are great dining options nearby for both casual meals and special nights out. Decoy also provides a curated guide to eating out locally, making it easy to plan ahead or decide on the day.
What makes a romantic stay at Decoy Country Cottages special isn’t just the cottages themselves, but the overall experience. The quiet setting, the flexibility of self-catering, the thoughtful extras and the surrounding countryside all combine to create a break that feels relaxed and unforced.
Whether it’s a short midweek escape, a Valentine’s stay, an anniversary celebration or simply time away together, we offer a romantic countryside retreat where you can slow down, reconnect and enjoy moments together.
