After spending 2 days in Dublin including attending the St. Patrick’s Parade and a jam packed 2 days in Dun Laoghaire for a wedding we needed a place to unwind and recharge. Lock Cottage was it. So charming, peaceful and beautiful we loved our 5 day stay and never wanted to leave. The birds, deer and swans graced you with their presence daily. Being from Canada we know how tend a fire and with the electric heaters were toasty warm during the damp weather being March and all. We would use the walking path to visit the Brú na Bóinne visitor center which was only 15 minutes away for breakfast on 2 occasions. In the evenings we would eat in restaurants close by in Donore, Slane, Drogheda, and the excellent Tribe restaurant in Deleek. The bathroom, beds and linens were top notch. There are plans to restore the lock and canal system which would put this cottage on the top of the list of cottages in Ireland. David responded quickly to our inquiries immediately and was a pleasure to deal with.
