Decoy Lodge is a lovely and quiet place to stay with beautiful views. It is a perfect base to visit wonderful sites in Wicklow such as Blessington and Glendalough, and there are a lot of activities for kids too such as Russborough House, Greenan Maze, and good playgrounds in Dunlavin, Grangecon, and Kilcullen.
Siobhan was a great host: she was quick to respond to any query and gave us a tour of the farm the cottage is on. The cottage was spacious and well-equipped, with a good range of cooking equipment in the kitchen. She also had several kid-friendly touches, such as stair gates, a travel cot and some toys, which was much appreciated as I was traveling with my 2 year old and 4 year old. We also enjoyed seeing the sheep and peacock regularly right outside of the cottage windows.
