Imagine our surprise on our late arrival and dying for a cup of tea. All we had to do was boil the kettle, there was even FRESH home made bread and other goodies! Facilities for the little ones was great and very safe to run around. Would love to visit again soon. More

We stayed here with our three children and simply loved it! It was so spacious, quiet, had a games room and play area for the kids, and Paula was very welcoming. It was one of our favourite places we stayed in Ireland and so close to Slane, Kells and Newgrange. Highly recommend! More

The accommodation at Decoy Cottages is first class. I have never written a review before but feel I should let other people know how good this place is. The attention to detail include a welcome pack with fresh baked wheaten, tea, coffee and dishwasher tablets. The beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage was always warm. We would also like...

We're so glad we found Decoy Cottages (on the Alistair Sawday site). Paula,... More

The small basket of groceries on arrival is a really nice touch and very welcoming. We travelled a bit further this time and went to Powerscourt Gardens and waterfall which... More

The accomodation was of a very high standard with large spacious rooms and everything that you can think of provided for you....The den was great for our 2 young toddlers, with books, DVD's and some toys provided but the favourite for my...
