    “We had a lovely stay at The Feathers. It was exactly what we were looking for, a tranquil little hideaway. Although it is quite small, it was well equipped with everything we needed and the bbq is well sheltered so can be used in all weather's!...”

The Shepherds hut is a cosy retreat for you to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures that the Galway countryside and Ahascragh has to offer. Stay in a traditional style Shepherds Hut with raised King Size bed. The hut offers the peace and sounds of Rural Ireland, set in the enclosed area overlooking our fabulous Hens and Ducks. Watch at night as the Ducks secure the parameters of their enclosure, before resting up. There is a sand pit area for children to play in, a beautiful unique chair to unwind overlooking the fields, a covered BBQ area, with gas BBQ, and Electric 2 ring stove. Our children have a ground level trampoline, a tree house, with slide and swings, as well as gymnastics bars, and your children are welcome to go on these also.
I am Married to Stevie, and together we have 2 children and our long time loyal dog Rocco. We love time in our garden, and looking at the hens and ducks makes us smile. We love to experience nature, art and all things craft style.
Ahascragh is a little village in the West of Ireland, situated on the border of Roscommon and Galway. The Village offers many local amenities such as a Butcher, local shop, including a deli and fuel, The Old Mill Shop and Café for breakfast or lunch, and coming soon is an exciting Distillery by McAllisters Distillers. There are vibrant pubs with live music on select evenings.
