I was so touched by personal touches like the fresh flowers, bottle of wine, and cookies Patricia left for us in the cottage. This cozy, comfortable and well fitted cottage is in a very convenient location just outside Drogheda and close to several lovely beaches. The back yard is private enough and lovely with flowers and landscaping, and I enjoyed several evenings on the back patio watching the birds and the sun go down. It is an easy drive to see the area attractions such as Millmount, Trim Castle, Skerries, Newgrange or Knowth, and less than an hour from Dublin by car, bus or train.
The general store/gas station/post office less than a block away is amazingly well stocked and makes a great take away pizza. The fresh bread, produce, and wide selection of all types of foods kept us well stocked during our 9 day stay. There are plenty of good restaurants in the area and some great local pubs.
I highly recommend Carroll's Cottage to anyone looking for accommodations in the Drogheda area. You won't be disappointed!
