Spacious traditional Irish cottage, on the banks of the Boyne. Pet friendly.

This traditional cottage has a homely, cosy atmosphere, while the extensive, open plan living area creates ample social space for larger groups. Children love the huge enclosed garden (about 3/4 acre) which is great for outdoor games and dining.
The cottage is ideal for beach holidays and exploring Ireland’s Ancient East, and it's also popular with golfers and nature enthusiasts.
Set on the banks of the river Boyne, the cottage is in walking distance of a lovely sandy beach, the renowned County Louth Golf course and the friendly 19th pub in Baltray and is just three miles from the historic town of Drogheda.

The Bunker is situated in the picturesque village of Baltray, ideally situated to make the most of Ireland's Ancient East with Beaulieu House just up the road and nearby the ancient burial mound of Newgrange, the high crosses and round tower at Monasterboice, the medieval Melifont Abbey along with Drogheda's many historical sites including Mill Mount museum and its Martello tower, Laurence's gate and Saint Oliver Plunkett's remains in St Peter's church. The seat of the High Kings of Ireland at Tara near Navan, the high cross at Kells and Slane castle are also all within reach.

GOLF

Just a short walk down the road in Baltray, the County Louth Golf Club championship 18 hole links golf course has hosted the Irish Open. Another great links course, Seapoint Golf Club, is just two miles up the road outside Termonfeckin.
Just the other side of the river, Bettystown Golf Club completes the trio of excellent links courses making for a great three day golf break.
