Nature house in Foxford
Western Ireland, Ireland
- 3 persons
- 2 bedrooms
-
Pets not allowed
I converted part of my studio into an apartment, using as many reused materials as possible. This gives it a unique character with many artistic details. The studio is next to my residence, surrounded by the garden. The entrance to the apartment is on the side of the studio a has its own entrance. I am a gardener at heart and have a natural garden with a wide variety of plants, native and exotic. Respect for nature and wonder at what grows and flourishes is essential to my approach. The gardens are open by appointment. I am regularly working in the studio myself, so if there are questions I am easy to find. There is a dry compost toilet in the outbuilding next to the apartment. There is a sofa bed in the living area for the third guest to sleep.

Annica October 7, 2024 General rating:Very tastefully decorated, not for luxury animals. I really enjoyed the beautiful warm colors, art on the wall and the warm blankets and pillows in the cottage. Via outside to the composting toilet I found quite interesting, but a bit less comfortable. Otherwise, I liked everything about the cottage. The owner of the nature house also received us very friendly and helpful and especially for us (because I am allergic to perfume), provided perfume-free bedding, towels and dish soap.Thank you!
Heel smaakvol ingericht, niet voor luxedieren.
Ik heb erg genoten van de mooie warme kleuren, kunst aan de muur en de warme dekentjes en kussens in het huisje. Via buiten naar het composttoilet vond ik best interessant, maar wat minder comfortabel. Verder vond ik alles aan het huisje fijn.
De eigenaar van het natuurhuisje heeft ons ook erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam ontvangen en speciaal voor ons (omdat ik allergisch voor parfum ben), gezorgd voor parfumvrij beddengoed, handdoeken en afwasmiddel.
Dankjewel!Nature, peace & environment:I thought it was all very beautiful. We arrived on the little road that leads to the owner's house. That little road has a sort of roof of bushes/trees trimmed by passing cars. From the cottage we had a view over a fairly dense very green piece of garden. The only neighbors we could see from the cottage were birds and insects. The nature house is adjacent to the owner's studio. That is in the middle of her beautiful, pleasantly cluttered garden. And across the road from which the house is located is a second part of the garden, which we could use. This piece of garden had grassy paths among the herbs, shrubs and trees and views over a nearby lake. Too bad it wasn't warmer in early October, when we were there, because a morning cup of coffee with that view would have been nice too.
Ik vond het erg mooi allemaal. We kwamen aan over het weggetje dat naar het huis van de eigenaar leidt. Dat weggetje heeft een soort van dak van struiken/bomen die door de passerende auto’s worden bijgesnoeid. Vanuit het huisje hadden we uitzicht over een vrij dicht begroeid erg groen stuk tuin. De enige buren die we vanuit het huisje konden zien waren vogels en insecten. Het natuurhuisje grenst aan het atelier van de eigenaar. Dat staat middenin haar mooie, prettig rommelige tuin. En aan de overkant van de weg waaraan het huis ligt is een tweede deel van de tuin, waar we gebruik van konden maken. Dit stuk tuin had graspaden tussen de kruiden, struiken en bomen en uitzicht over een in de buurt gelegen meer. Jammer dat het begin oktober, toen wij er waren, niet meer zo warm was, want een ochtenkopjekoffie met dat uitzicht had me ook wel wat geleken.

Klaas-Hemke August 2, 2024 General rating:The cottage is simple and stylish, beautiful garden, friendly hostess
Het huisje is eenvoudig en stijlvol, prachtige tuin, vriendelijke waardin
Nature, peace & environment:Wonderful place in a beautiful setting: you do have to walk to the hinterland, there it is magnificent.
Prachtige plek in een mooie omgeving: je moet wel even doorlopen naar het achterland, daar is het schitterend.

Mia July 21, 2024 General rating:For walks or a bike ride, you first had to go some distance along a dangerously fast track, but that's a typical Irish problem!
Voor de wandelingen of een fietstocht moest je eerst een eindje langs een gevaarlijk snelle baan, maar dat is een typisch Iers probleem!
Nature, peace & environment:The owner was very sympathetic and welcoming. The garden was extremely beautiful. We enjoyed the tranquility and the beautiful surroundings.
De eigenares was erg sympathiek en gastvrij. De tuin was buitengewoon prachtig. We genoten van de rust en de mooie omgeving.
