We stayed at The Bothy for three nights, and that is the only downside. We could easily have stayed for a week or more in this beautiful spot. Probably one of the best holiday experiences we've ever had. The studio is so stylish, yet cosy and we felt at home from the first second of entering it. So well thought-through and cleverly designed, combining modern design in a traditional little stone cottage with total cosiness. The beautiful weather added to our experience, allowing us to have breakfast outside next to the sheep grazing. Lying in the comfy bed gives you a fantastic view of the scenery. Thank you so much, Anne, for this gem. We will definitely be back!

Guest reviews
Fernwood, Clifden averages 5.0 out of 5 across 260 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
We had a delightful 2 night stay in the stilt house in Fernwood. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the space was entirely relaxing and secluded. The sauna and plunge pool are a lovely treat and we also loved the private wood fired bathtub at the stilt house. We brought a meal from home for the first night and ate out in Clifden on the second - it’s fantastic to have the option of self catering and to have nice restaurants nearby. We will definitely be back 😊
We spent 3 days in the Stilt house and we had a lovely time. The Stilt house was lovely, clean and had all the equipments we needed (+ a Swedish bath but we haven’t had time to try it). Perfect if you are looking for a quiet/ nature gateway with a lot to visit around.
