The Stables at Decoy Country Cottages

Four Star

Garlow Cross, Navan, Meath Show on a map

These holiday cottages are set in a converted farmyard, which has been lovingly restored to provide the highest standard of accommodation in a peaceful and tranquil setting just 3km from the new M3 motorway (junction 7) and 6km from Navan..

This beautiful four-star accommodation is just 30 minutes from the airport and 45 minutes from Dublin Port, and is the ideal location to explore the wealth of historic sites in the Royal County.

The cottages are surrounded by beautiful parkland countryside, making a perfect retreat for those who wish to get away from it all and recharge their batteries. Whether you are organising a family holiday, a reunion or a quiet romantic break, we have something to suit everyone. If the sightseeing gets too much, enjoy a luxury facial or massage from the highly quaified therapist in the Day Spa, which uses Dermalogica products.
