We're absolutely delighted to be featured in this week's RTÉ Guide as part of their "Eastern Wonders" feature highlighting the incredible experiences waiting to be discovered in the Boyne Valley.

It was wonderful to see our cottages, family-friendly facilities, wellness retreat, farm animals and beautiful countryside setting featured as part of their stay. We're especially proud that the article recognised what so many of our guests love most about Decoy Country Cottages, that it's a place where families, couples and groups can relax, reconnect and enjoy the best of Ireland's Ancient East.

As they mention: "The only problem with staying here is, you're not going to want to leave."
