The Experience
Discover the mysterious and ancient beauty of the Boyne Valley – you have miles and miles of sandy coastline to explore. Once through the ‘village gate’ you are secluded in beautiful flower gardens, and you can walk along the spreading beach to pubs and restaurants. Roger and Liz’s family has been letting these cottages since 1908 and their warm Irish welcome, with hot scones from the oven and homemade jam, proves they have inherited the hospitality gene. The cottages have been lovingly and impeccably refurbished, making them warmly state-of-the-art with their quilted bedcovers on excellent beds, sparkling bathrooms with underfloor heating, double ended baths and power showers, robes and slippers too. WiFi, flatscreen TVs, games and books, local art and pottery, comfy sofas and fully-fitted kitchens, everything is just so. Children will adore it here – there’s heaps to keep them entertained. Just 25 minutes from Dublin Airport but the best antidote to city madness (and voted one of the coolest cottages in Britain and Ireland by the Sunday Times!), you will surely be content.

We had such a wonderful time. The beach was gorgeous, Poppy was a delight and the gardens are wondrous. I really look forward to our next visit hopefully for a longer stretch and we can really dive into the areas history and attractions.

We stayed in the Apple Loft and then moved to the Garden Cottage because the Apple loft was booked out. Liz and Mel are absolutely amazing. Being here was like being transported to a magical place, Hobbit land comes to mind. I have recommended here to all my friends and will definitely come back.

The Cottages are a rare gem! We felt right at home the minute we arrived! The hospitality, the attention to details, the level of personal touch in every corner of the property was exceptional. We use to dream of finding a place away from the busy life of the city, where we could have some peace and quiet while being close to nature and this place made our dream come true. It’s exceeded our expectations in every way possible. A big thank you to the team and to Liz and Roger for their vision and their gorgeous dog Puppy! A must visit place and location.

- The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Brú na Bóinne is just 20 minutes from our doorstep. The Brú na Bóinne passage tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth predate the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge , a 'Must do' to include on your holiday itinerary.
- An abundance of Children’s Activity centres including Dublin Zoo, Newgrange Open Farm, Tayto Park, Water World & Funtasia.
- Dublin City – Theatres, Galleries, Museums, Guinness Brewery, Restaurants (excellent city transport services on the hour). This vibrant, friendly city is world renowned for the variety of sights and activities for all ages both day and night.
- The Cooley Mountains and Carlingford to the north and Wicklow and the Dublin Mountains to the south both provide a wealth of touring scenery and locations equal in every way to the beauty of the West of Ireland... One of our best kept secrets!
