We’ll send you directions when you book. The cabin is nestled in the foothills of the Knockmealdown Mountains, near Cappoquin. If you’re arriving by public transport, you’ll need to sort your own way from the nearest town, Dungarvan – but we can point you in the right direction.
Check-in is from 3pm – but if you find yourself here earlier, there’s plenty of rivers to wander beside while you wait. Check-out is by 11am, though if you need a slow morning, let us know – we’ll see what we can do.
Aye, dogs are welcome. They’ll love sniffing through the fields and finding all the best sunbathing spots. We just ask that they stay off the furniture and don’t chase the sheep – they live here too.
Not much. The cabin has everything you need – bedding, towels, firewood, and a kitchen to cook in. Pack warm layers, sturdy boots, and something you wouldn’t mind reading by candlelight.
Yes, the cabin has electricity powered by an off-grid system. The wood burner keeps things cosy in colder months, but there’s no air conditioning – the fresh mountain breeze does the job in summer.
Yes, and a fine one at that. The compost toilet might be different to what you're used to, but it's all part of the off-grid charm. We promise, it’s easy.
Absolutely. The wood burner is a small but mighty thing. Stoke the fire, pile on the blankets, and you’ll be toasty in no time.
The village isn’t far, but you won’t find a 24-hour supermarket. Bring what you need, or embrace the simple joy of making do.
Of course – what’s a night in the wild without a fire to gather round? There’s a fire pit outside your cabin and plenty of logs to keep it going.
Wander through ancient woodlands, follow the St Declan’s Way pilgrimage route, swim in the Blackwater River, or simply do nothing at all. This is a place for slow days.
There is WiFi and good phone signal, but we encourage switching off – the hills, the fire, and a good book might be all you need. – just you, the hills, and the crackle of the fire. We’ve left a deck of cards, a well-loved bookshelf, and a board game or two for company.
Yes, the cabin has fresh, clean drinking water straight from the local spring. No need to bring bottled water.
Only small babies who can share the bed are welcome. We don’t provide a cot or child’s beds, so please plan accordingly.
It helps, but it’s not essential. Buses to the nearby village are infrequent, and taxis may need to be booked in advance, so plan your journey accordingly.
Yes, there’s a well-equipped kitchen with a stove, pots, and pans. There’s also a fire pit outside if you fancy cooking over the flames.
We believe that true relaxation takes time. Research shows it takes around 48 hours for the mind to fully disconnect from daily life and devices. A two-night stay ensures you have the space to slow down, settle in, and fully experience the cabin and its surroundings. Many of our guests say they only truly switch off after the first night, and we want you to get the most out of your time here.
