Planning a group getaway can be tricky. Whether you’re bringing together extended family or a group of long-time friends, the goal is the same: comfort, connection, and a few unforgettable memories along the way. That’s exactly what makes Decoy such a good fit. With the space, the setting, and the flexibility to suit all kinds of groups, it’s a place where every generation (or personality) can feel right at home.
Room to Rest and Recharge
Comfort matters, especially when you’re away with a crowd. Each of our cottages is self-contained, beautifully furnished, and designed with real living in mind. That means fully equipped kitchens, warm communal spaces, and bedrooms that feel like your own private retreat. For larger groups, booking multiple cottages gives everyone breathing room while still staying together. Think of it as the best of both worlds: togetherness when it counts, and privacy when it’s needed.
Peace, Privacy, and the Perfect Location
Tucked into the heart of the Boyne Valley, Decoy feels worlds away from the hustle. Yet we’re just under an hour from Dublin, making us surprisingly easy to reach. That blend of convenience and countryside makes us ideal for reconnecting with nature, each other, and the slower pace that’s often missing in daily life. Wake up to birdsong, sip your morning coffee with a view of the gardens, and explore the beauty of Meath right from your doorstep.
Time Together, Space to Breathe
Whether you’re marking a milestone birthday, planning a reunion, or gathering the family “just because,” Decoy gives you the room to make it your own. Kids can roam safely and meet the animals. Grandparents can relax in peace. And in the evenings, everyone can come together to eat, chat, and unwind in one of our cosy living areas. There’s a natural rhythm to life here that makes connection easy, without feeling forced.
Do as Much (or as Little) as You Like
Some groups want to head off on adventures. Others just want a lie-in and a long walk. Luckily, Decoy is perfect for both. Visit nearby heritage sites like Newgrange, the Hill of Tara, or Trim Castle. Pop into Navan for a bite to eat. Or stay on-site and enjoy the fresh air, our friendly animals, the play area, or a lazy afternoon with a book. You can plan an itinerary or let the days unfold, either way, the setting supports whatever kind of getaway you’re craving.
Effortless, Memorable, Yours
What makes a trip stick in your memory? For many of our guests, it’s the little things: the games of football in the garden, the laughter over breakfast, the comfort of knowing you don’t have to go far to find peace. At Decoy, we do everything we can to make your stay easy, comfortable, and truly your own. That’s why so many groups return year after year.
