About this property
The Bothy @ Fernwood.eco with private sauna
This is contemporary architecture and interior design at its best. The Bothy remains a favourite of our regular guests who still can't believe what you can fit into a 35m2 space!
Underfloor heating, polished concrete throughout and many hidden design features in the birch plywood walls, make this a unique and fun space. Every little detail is considered.
There’s a private garden to enjoy your morning coffee or your evening sundowners and a Bang and Olufsen portable speaker to provide the tunes! We've got lakeside sauna house with plunge pool for our guests' use and enchanting woodland paths throughout our 150 acre farm.
Wintertime is just as special as the summer in Fernwood. Draw the blinds, grab a good book and cosy up beside the wood burning stove. (Or stay in the bed and binge on your favourite Netflix series!)
Save up to 20% booking directly on Fernwood.eco.
At end of a country road and at the beginning of the Connemara Greenway, Fernwood is a true oasis with the benefit of being 2 minutes from Clifden town.
Our organic farm is on a 140 acre private estate comprising of native woodland and bog, on the shores of the Salt Lake.
Walk out your front door to explore, in complete solitude, our 2km of woodland paths, the wonders of the Connemara bogland or relax in our newly constructed lakeside sauna house with plunge pool.
You can chose to stay in our new refurbished Bothy conversion which is finished to the highest spec with underfloor heating, wood burning stove, sheepskin rugs and feather down duvets
For the ultimate experience chose our luxury treehouse dome/tent or better again a Stilt House Suite with private wood-fired Swedish Hot Tub.
