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 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.

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.This is a beautiful house, with as it's highlight, the incredible garden. It's like living in a botanical garden!

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!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.
