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 located next to my home, surrounded by the garden. The apartment’s entrance is on the side of the studio and has its own separate entrance. I am a gardener through and through and have a natural garden with a wide variety of plants, both native and exotic. Respect for nature and a sense of wonder at what grows and blooms are essential to my approach. The gardens are open by appointment. I’m often working in the studio myself, so if you have any questions, I’m easy to find. There is a dry composting toilet in the outbuilding next to the apartment. There is a sleeper sofa in the living area for a third guest to sleep on.

Far from the daily grind, yet easily accessible—Foxford is 5 km away, Swinford is 8 km away, and Knock International Airport is a 20-minute drive. This area offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, and fishing. Callow Gardens are located at the foot of the Ox Mountains, overlook the Callow Lakes, and are not far from Lough Conn and Lough Cullin. The coast is also nearby.

    A friendly caretaker who loves to tell you about the garden and the marionettes she makes herself.

    This is a beautiful house, with as it's highlight, the incredible garden. It's like living in a botanical garden!
    The host Rose is very welcoming, we had great conversations with her and she gave us a lot of tips on what to do in the surroundings. Can only recommend this.

    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!

    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.
