Couldn’t fault this wee gem of a place, Andy couldn’t do enough for us, from the moment we arrived till checking out, everything from our Pod, sauna & outside bath to our evening s’mores basket, & our morning breakfast hamper being delivered to our door, exceptional !! , would highly recommend this beautiful retreat 💞

What an incredible find! From the warm welcome by Andy, to the magical walk down to Doe’s Den in the stunning valley by the river…then into the cabin itself…everything about this place is incredible. Andy the host couldn’t do enough for us - he returned to set the fire for the evening and fire up the hot tub, so we could chill beneath the starts. Waking up to the deer munching apples outside was just the icing in the cake. And the cabin itself is super modern, clean, stylish and cosy. A real experience and we’d highly recommend.

Need food menu for the pods

The silence and scenery

Stayed in July 2023

Nothing. One tip, bring an eye mask as pod doesn’t have curtains/blinds, understandably as the view is gorgeous.

We felt like we were in our own little world, so secluded and beautiful. The s’mores package was really fun (extra cost) and we thoroughly enjoyed the wood fired hot tub. Bed extremely comfy and everything clean. The breakfast hamper was delicious and filled with locally sourced products. The host is very welcoming and attentive. All in all, a treat for the senses!

nothing bad to say about this place! looks just like the photos

was in a beautiful spot and was really private and away from the other cabins

Stayed in July 2023

It would be good to have a couple more cups and glasses as hot water is only available via the generator.

The cabin was lovely with amazing views and surroundings. Very comfy bed and chairs. So peaceful. Also just a short walk to Newcastle so no need to drive. The breakfast hamper was fantastic!

N/A

Total relaxation in a gorgeous setting. Very well organised and tended to by Andy and his team who obviously pride themselves on excellence in customer service. The location is stunning in lovely grounds along the Shimna river Newcastle on the Enniskeen Estate loads of lovely plants trees and wild life including the deer that came around 10pm and again early in the morning to eat apples from the orchard in front of our luxury pod. The wood fired hot tub is class at night and your in total privacy.The pod itself is fantastic with a great shower room and plenty of room and very comfy bed. A fantastic breakfast hamper is delivered to your back door around 9.00am and you’ll get a message from Andy to gently let you know it has been delivered. I can’t say enough about how fantastic the place is if you want a very peaceful romantic battery recharging experience with your partner and like to do something different from the boring hotel room.

Not much we didn't like really. The whole path down to pods was out of this world! However, if there if we can make any suggestion, then we would say, when you approach the pods, there are things lying around, a tractor, wheelbarrow, tools, plastics, etc which was a pity.. Hidden storage would be nicer.. Other than that, everything was perfect and we would defo go back!

Really enjoyed the pod, the facilities, the view from the pod, nature.. The staff were welcoming and helpful, breakfast was great. I am vegan and the vegan breakfast option was great! We had a lovely time overall! It started raining early so we didn't get to use the firepit or the hot tub but that didn't spoil it for us!

All good.

The location was beautiful and we had binoculars to watch through. The spa and additional treats were lovely. The staff were helpful and throughtful, lighting our fire pit for the end of dinner.

A box of firewood to start firepit anytime you wanted would have been beneficial.

Brilliant Breakfast Hamper.

Nothing this place is so lovely

If you are looking for a little peace and tranquillity this is the perfect place to find it. Stayed here Saint Patrick's day for one lovely relaxing night with the hope of getting a reset in nature and a little pamper. This place did not disappoint. Andy is an absolute gem, this man knows how to make his guests happy and he went above and beyond to help us get the best from our experience. When we arrived at the cabin we were in awe of the beautiful surroundings from the little walk down through the river trail to the mountains and the river right on your doorstep. The cabin itself is lovely, charming and quaint and they really have provided all you could want from a coffee machine to a cooler. We went into Newcastle for a little pint and some food and when we arrived back Andy arrived to light the fire for the hot tub, this was worth the wait! So we sat at the fire pit having some drinks and actually talking.....with no distractions. This was the best bath I've ever had.....under the stars listening to the crackle of the fire and the sounds of the river. The bed is super comfy and we had a great sleep waking up to a delicious breakfast hamper. We will definitely be booking to stay here again it was the nicest stay away in a long time and is genuinely just good for your soul. Came away feeling refreshed and calm. Thanks Andy you really have done a phenomenal job with the place, thanks for everything ☺️

Nothing!'

Andy was fabulous! We woke up in the early morning to deer munching apples right outside the window! Breakfast and hot shower were perfect- will be telling all my friends to book! Huge bed and v comfy!

We would've loved to stay a little longer to experience the entirty of what the property had to offer i. e. The outdoor spa. Thank you for accommodating a later check-out. It was lovely to go slow.

Andy is wonderful-lovely conversationalist, accommodating and available. The breakfast is brilliant, although with the time change our appetite was limited and we couldn't enjoy the large spread without overfilling. The location is beautiful and offers opportunities for memorable photos. GPS took us right to Andy and he met us at the car. Beautiful rain boots available in purple and green start the experience with a lovely nature walk to our own little hobbit house 🏡 Battery pack and generator allow for limited creature comforts if you require.

Evening dining limited to the nearby hotel- unless you drive elsewhere. service was lovely in the hotel and deserts were delicious. handy that it was within walking distance. main course was disappointing as meat was very over cooked though.

secluded and peaceful. comfy bed. great views. super friendly host

One night is not enough! We'll definitely come back!

Can't say enough good things about this place, so peaceful and exactly what we needed, a reset from our busy lives. We loved that it rained when we were there so we could really enjoy the cabin and the sauna. Andy was great at making everything special for us and the breakfast hamper was the best way to end our time there.

it’s impossible to fault this place

This cabin is out of this world!!! We totally loved the hot tub, fire-pit, and luxurious decor in the cabin. breakfast in bed was simply the icing on the cake. Andy is so attentive to your every need and goes above and beyond to make your stay super special. we stayed at the Doe cabin.

Wonderful peaceful location, fantastic service from Andy, superb breakfast that set us up for the day, great hot tub under the stars and watching wildlife. Andy very helpful with where to go and what to do.

A few nosey explorers popped their heads through the gate. The signs clearly stated private. Nothing the proprietor could do about this really.

Absolute tranquility. The weather was kind adding to the experience. A nature lovers paradise.

It was expensive, but we'll worth splashing out for. Maybe more logs for the fire pit.

Everything was perfect
