This gorgeous, spacious cottage is ideal for golf and nature enthusiasts, seaside and cultural holidays. The Bunker's traditional style makes for a homely, cosy atmosphere, while the extensive, open plan living and dining room creates comfortable spaces for larger groups. Set on the banks of the river Boyne, the cottage is in walking distance of the beach, the world class County Louth Golf course and the friendly 19th pub in Baltray and is just three miles from the historic town of Drogheda. The large (3/4 acre approx) garden is a hit with families and children affording beautiful views over the Boyne estuary bird sanctury which teams with wildlife. Guests can wake to the evocative sound of curlews or witness them swoop over the garden at dusk. All on one level, the house is great for children and the elderly, making The Bunker perfect for family get togethers. The 3/4 acre garden and Netflix are popular with guests. The super-king converts to twin beds, two other double/king beds, a triple room and a crib/cot for an infant make for versatile group accommodation. The house is really spacious with ample seating, a large dining table seating 10, two walk-in showers and a traditional Victorian bath.

We are delighted to welcome guests to The Bunker and are happy to help with any queries you may have in advance of booking or arrival at the house. Co-host, Deborah is available on the spot to offer guests friendly assistance and advice during their stay. This is our holiday home in our favourite part of Ireland and we hope our guests love it just as much as we do.
