The Bunker's traditional style makes for a homely, cosy atmosphere, while the extensive, open plan living area creates comfortable social spaces for larger groups. It is ideal for seaside holidays and exploring Ireland’s Ancient East, popular with golfers and nature enthusiasts. Set on the banks of the river Boyne, the cottage is in walking distance of a lovely sandy beach, the renowned County Louth Golf course and the friendly 19th pub in Baltray and is just three miles from the historic town of Drogheda. Children love the large enclosed garden (about 3/4 acre) which is great for dining outdoors. There is a disused farmyard on the other side of the house which is out of bounds for safety reasons. The Bunker is situated in the picturesque village of Baltray, ideally situated to make the most of Ireland's Ancient East with Beaulieu House just up the road and nearby the ancient burial mound of Newgrange, the high crosses and round tower at Monasterboice, the medieval Melifont Abbey along with Drogheda's many historical sites including Mill Mount museum and its Martello tower, Laurence's gate and Saint Oliver Plunkett's remains in St Peter's church. The seat of the high kings of Ireland at Tara near Navan, the high cross at Kells and Slane castle are also all within reach. GOLF Just a short walk down the road in Baltray, the County Louth Golf Club championship 18 hole links golf course has hosted the Irish Open. Another great links course, Seapoint Golf Club, is just two miles up the road outside Termonfeckin. Just the other side of the river, Bettystown Golf Club completes the trio of excellent links courses making for a great three day golf break. BEACHES This part of the coast is renowned for its lovely sandy beaches: Baltray’s unspoilt shell strewn beach is never crowded, with its iconic ship wreck and views to the Cooley peninsula and Mourne mountains beyond. Seapoint beach in Termonfeckin is a popular local swimming venue. Just a little further up the coast Clogherhead is a blue flag beach with a cafe on the beach and just beyond Clogherhead is Port, a long stretch of beach with views to the Cooley and Mourne mountains. Continue north for more beautiful beaches all up the coast. WALKS Head to the beach at Baltray and you can walk along three miles of uninterrupted strand. Continue across the headland of Clogherhead and follow the coast as far as you like to Anagassan and beyond. You can walk along the banks of the Boyne river at many points including some mapped trails. SHOPPING & EATING OUT Shopping is available in Termonfeckin where there is a petrol station, post office, supermarket and Forge Field farm shop selling artisanal and local produce with a lovely cafe. Drogheda has a wide range of shops with restaurants, pubs, bars, music sessions and cinemas for nights out. Alternatively guests can eat out at the Golf Club in Baltray, Termonfeckin's World Gate restaurant and Flynn's Inn. Clogherhead hosts a range of eateries including a Pizzeria. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Stair-free path to entrance - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the sea - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Water park - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Recycling - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,668 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18980000/18971400/18971337/fde0298a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Unique Thatched Cottage close to Newgrange & Dublin Airport Duleek - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 36 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=18971337&PinnedHotelID=18971337&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32480000/32474900/32474876/3dda0113.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stay in a historic Manor House !
