Decoy Lodge is a gem. We've stayed many places through airbnb over the years and this is now a favorite. Siobhan and her family make it a special stay for guests, and made us feel like a part of the family. The pictures are accurate for Decoy Lodge but it's got a magic that the pictures can't capture. The house is well-appointed, with conveniences like the washing machine and perks like the working fireplace. It's spacious, and Siobhan has done a wonderful job of making it cozy. We prefer country over city but we also appreciated the convenience of the location to local shops, and for larger needs for our month-long stay, we drove just 20 minutes to Blessington. But just five minutes down the road there are ample little shops for anything you might need for the kitchen. Siobhan did a great job of constructing her guide book for guests, and we took and agreed with her suggestions for places to eat (Wicklow Heather and Dion's were favorites). The farm itself is spacious, and we felt welcome to explore and enjoy the gorgeous countryside and the animals (there are so many animals, and you can visit with them...we'll miss them). Siobhan was brilliant at communicating and giving us opportunities to enjoy the farm, for example, we watched the lambs get scanned to learn how many babies each was going to have. We also were able to work remotely from the farm as the house is large enough that two working professionals could find room to separate and not disturb each other. We highly recommend Siobhan and family's Decoy Lodge.
