Frequently
asked questions
Can I bring my dog?
Aye, dogs are welcome. They’ll love sniffing through the fields and finding all the best sunbathing spots. We just ask that they stay off the furniture and don’t chase the sheep – they live here too.
Will I be warm enough in winter?
Absolutely. The wood burner is a small but mighty thing. Stoke the fire, pile on the blankets, and you’ll be toasty in no time.
What’s there to do?
Wander through ancient woodlands, follow the St Declan’s Way pilgrimage route, swim in the Blackwater River, or simply do nothing at all. This is a place for slow days.
Is there cell phone reception or wi-fi available?
There is WiFi and good phone signal, but we encourage switching off – the hills, the fire, and a good book might be all you need. – just you, the hills, and the crackle of the fire. We’ve left a deck of cards, a well-loved bookshelf, and a board game or two for company.
Are children welcome?
Only small babies who can share the bed are welcome. We don’t provide a cot or child’s beds, so please plan accordingly.
Do I need a car to get there?
It helps, but it’s not essential. Buses to the nearby village are infrequent, and taxis may need to be booked in advance, so plan your journey accordingly.
Why is there a two-night minimum stay?
We believe that true relaxation takes time. Research shows it takes around 48 hours for the mind to fully disconnect from daily life and devices. A two-night stay ensures you have the space to slow down, settle in, and fully experience the cabin and its surroundings. Many of our guests say they only truly switch off after the first night, and we want you to get the most out of your time here.
