Luxury Retreat Centre

The new centre was built in 2021 and has under-floor heating throughout, picture frame windows with stunning views, and a very relaxing contemporary milimalist decor. The whole centre is flooded with natural light, with beautiful views over the Burren hills.

Our en-suite bedrooms are all very spacious, very bright with a large triple glazed window, super-insulated with underfloor heating, and excellent soundproofing. All have electric-controlled black-out blinds.

The beds are all extremely comfortable, with hotel quality mattresses, Egyptian cotton bedlinen with high thread count and a choice of a firmer pillow and a softer one. All our en-suite bathrooms have a heated towel rail and a spacious shower with plenty of hot water.

Digital Detox

Our retreats offer complete freedom from Digital devices.
Phones are turned off (or airplane mode), the internet, news, and other distractions are left behind, and the resulting freedom is beneficial for a more light-hearted feeling and ability to be in the present moment.

We recommend that you take a complete digital detox.
However, there is WiFi access in the upstairs lounge for emergency use. If you need to use it, we ask you to be mindful of your fellow guests and their need for peace and quiet and lack of intrusion from the external world outside the retreat.

Please note we are also an alcohol-free retreat.
