Luxury Guest Retreat & Artisan Bakery

Welcome to a haven of quiet luxury on the Causeway Coast - a secluded place to stay for time together, creative escapes and memorable moments in nature.

Set among woodland and meadow, our handcrafted shepherd’s huts put wild nature on the doorstep and exceptional comfort within. Wake to birdsong and warm pastries from our artisan bakery, watch Irish hares in the meadow, feel the salt wind along the Atlantic coast, return to the glow of a wood-burning stove in your own private retreat. A stay unlike anywhere else.

"We spent two weeks traveling across Ireland, from Cork to the Giant's Causeway, and this was our favorite place that we stayed.

It was a beautiful, peaceful respite and is central to the north coast. I looked forward to coming back and curling up with a book and pot of tea after a day of sight seeing.

It is one of the coziest spaces I've ever stayed, especially after lighting the wood stove. I loved every second of staying here and didn't want to leave! Highly recommend!!"
