We had an amazing time,the surroundings are just incredible,so beautiful and peaceful.My family really enjoyed the barn and we played board games,lit a fire which was fabulous.The option to BBQ also.We had such fun.Our huts were just gorgeous,everything was spotlessly clean,the bed was so comfortable and the bedding was to a very high standard.We took a stroll through the meadow and had a turn in the paddle boat on the the water on the grounds,so much fun.The hosts really take great care of this magical piece of Ireland,lots of thought goes into the guests stay and the eco system which is beyond compare for me.The food provided was delicious... a real feast for the eyes and the tastebuds,astounding efforts went into this we felt really well taken care of,but above all else was our wonderful host Mary..what an incredible woman she is! Mary has a wonderful warm and friendly personality,we felt like we were friends rather than guests,she was so welcoming and informative of the surroundings and all the place had to offer,Mary and her team do a really great job with the huts,the barn the gardening is all done to such a high standard,and you can feel the love here.Many thanks for a wonderful stay and your homemade food is fantastic!!!

This was such a welcome change from the hotels we’d been in nights before. Mary was an absolutely wonderful hostess. We picked up wine, cheese and bread before arriving and sat in the courtyard of the barn. Piper, the family cat, stayed close and enjoyed the ear scratches. We sat in the loft of the barn in the evening and enjoyed the cosy comfort and the wifi. We walked the trail around the property. A little forest bath before bed. The hut was comfortable….perfect really. Breakfast in the common area was perfect for us as well…homemade sourdough bread, farm fresh boiled eggs, lovely selection of healthy cereals, preserves, French press coffee and fresh fruit. Washrooms…..so well done. Large and well-equipped. This is really a unique and special place and you get to stay there for a very reasonable price.

Special place, liked it very interesting. Hoats are great.

Great, clean, cozy. Beautiful surroundings and friendly staff.

Fantastic "getaway" place. The host was awesome. Huts are fun and breakfast was delicious. BEST sourdough bread I have ever had.

We went here part way through our trip in Ireland and it was the perfect place for an authentic experience off the tourist track. Highly recommended for those interested in eco tourism, hospitality and a unique experience. Truly amazing!!!

Great surroundings, the pathways around the properties grounds were interesting. Fantastic hostess

We would 100% recommend staying here. Everything was bl from the moment we arriived, the huts are just fabulous. Quiet and peaceful set in the most beautiful

It is a stunning property cared for by a kind and welcoming eco-conscious couple. It is peaceful and a balm to the soul. The continental breakfast included homemade bread and jam. Just delightful! It was a great first stop in Ireland.

If you have opportunity to stay here consider yourself very lucky. We loved everything, and breakfast spread was fantastic!

A lovely place to stay. The grounds are beautiful and wonderful to wander. Breakfast was amazing and hosts were great. Loved sleeping on our shepherd's hut. Shared spaces were perfect for relaxing. Would definitely return.

It was so beautiful and relaxing! The host was so generous with her time and provided a gorgeous breakfast!

We had such a lovely stay. Mary was incredible, really friendly and helpful. The facilities on site were great and the hut was lovely and cosy! Will definitely be back again!

It’s an amazing property with a lovely host! The breakfast is wonderful. Boris is a great town nearby with the perfect pub; Joyce’s.

I really enjoyed my stay in the Blackstairs Shepard hut. The facilities in the main building were excellent and the hut was cosy and comfy with everything you'd need for a good night's sleep. Mary was full of helpful tips and suggestions for things to do in the area. The property was beautiful and the area was quiet and relaxing. Such an exclusive place to stay too as only 4 huts on the site. The location is great for exploring the local area and a couple of counties!

One of the most beautiful and special places I’ve ever been to in Ireland. Mary the host was so lovely and Terrence helped me get around and see some incredible local spots. I would go back in a heartbeat.

A wonderful experience and Mary was the most accommodating host. Slightly tricky to find but worth it.

Evan and I had the most incredible time here! Such a truly beautiful property with the most welcoming and warm hosts. This is a true top spot for any outdoor/nature enthusiast; the grounds and gardens are spectacular, the huts and barn are lovely, and they truly do have sustainability, eco-friendliness, and environmental consciousness at the heart of the experience. The location is exceptionally well situated - it feels remote and cozy yet is near a wealth of little gems to explore. Between the river-way, the towns, the mountain trails, and the property itself, there is so much to do and see (and something for everyone). We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Mary and Robert.

Didn’t stay long enough.

We stayed in one of four Shepherd Huts. Breakfast provided in the mornings. Mary makes homemade sourdough bread every morning, which left hubby in heaven! His fave bread. We've never had better. The bathroom and bathing facilities are great. There is a swing from a tree that we enjoyed as well as tramping through their woods, and maze, and trails. It's all so beautiful and peaceful❤️ We'd love to come and stay longer than two nights. It was the tranquility we needed. Robert and Mary work really hard, and are earth friendly in every way. Piper, their rescue cat is a sweetheart, too!❤️
