    “The location is stunning and very peaceful. Very old cottage that evokes imagination of what it must have been like hundreds of years ago. Very convenient to both Newgrange and the Battle of the Boyne site.”

Lock Cottage is the perfect place to unwind, rejuvenate and re-connect with nature. Its spectacularly located overlooking the river Boyne where deer can be spotted roaming on the far side of the bank. Inside the cottage is bursting with character. Glamourous mod cons are purposely limited with old world interiors giving a sense of coziness and reflection.
