About this house rental
Located at the edge of the woodland at Fernwood, the Bothy is a beautifully crafted space that proves just how much can be achieved within a modest footprint. Thoughtful architecture and clever design come together to create a calm, contemporary retreat that feels both generous and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Inside, polished concrete floors and underfloor heating provide a quiet sense of comfort, while the birch plywood interiors conceal a series of subtle, well-considered details that reveal themselves over time. It is a space designed to be lived in slowly, where simplicity and quality take centre stage.
Step outside and you are immersed in Fernwood itself. Your private garden offers a sheltered spot for morning coffee or an evening drink, while beyond it lies 150 acres of woodland, water and wild bogland to explore. Wander the paths, take a dip, or make your way to the lakeside sauna and plunge pool for a restorative reset.
The Bothy invites you to switch pace. Open the doors and let the outside in, or close the world out entirely. In summer it is light-filled and open, in winter it becomes a warm, cocooned hideaway with the stove lit and the landscape shifting quietly beyond the glass.
This is not about space, it is about how space makes you feel.

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.

We were impressed with the ingenuity of the accommodations, the forest walk and how it was so obvious a lot of thought had been put into making sure we enjoyed our stay

We loved everything about Fernwood. A hidden gem just outside Clifden. You could walk the short distance into Clifden but you won't want to leave! We had everything we needed in our studio.
The view from the Sauna out across the lake is simply stunning. The sauna's design is fabulous as is the cold plunge.
There's a 2km woodland walk on the property with lots of places to sit and reflect.
We can't wait to come back!

We loved walking the woodland trails, spotting ferns, primroses, violets, bluebells, sorrel and so many birds. The sauna and plunge pool were wonderful and we loved the sourdough bread in the bothy.

Fantastic stay in the Bothy at Fernwood. This is a hidden gem location and very well designed by Anne & Simon. The private sauna and plunge pool really topped it off. The accommodation has everything you need for a few days stay and it's only a 2min drive to Clifden but you could easily not leave Fernwood at all! We will definitely be back.
