Ireland self catering eco cabins

Our eco-cabins are revolutionary in their design. Built with timber frames, local sustainable cedar cladding, finished with eco paints and with no petrol chemicals used throughout, our accommodation is the latest in ethical construction. We use renewable energy, low energy lighting, wood stoves and solar panels for hot water.

We provide employment for local therapists, gardeners, and cleaners. At a time when Leitrim was considered the poorest and most socially deprived county in Ireland (it experienced huge loss during the successive recessions in Ireland- with the population of the entire county standing at 20,000), moving to Leitrim was considered applaudable. Starting a business was a real boost to the local economy and psyche. We have been in operation almost six years. We send a lot of business down to the village as our guests sample the Irish culture and music in the local pubs. Both ourselves and our guests use the restaurants and shops locally.

We minimise and recycle and compost our waste. We reduce water usage and collect rainwater for water plants and washing windows etc. We also have a rainwater pond for use in the event of a fire. We have The Celtic Nature Trail which educates and documents all the mythological, botanical, culinary and medicinal use of our native plants and trees. Our gardens are home to badgers, hares and foxes. The lake beneath us – Lough Nahoo is a sanctuary for wild birds.

We use no chemicals cleaning products and our gardens are totally organic. We buy our basics from the local shops and we have an organic grower who during the growing season provides a greenbox scheme to our guests and to our own kitchen.
