🌺🌻 Hello Spring 🌞🍃
It may not look like it these days (🌧), but spring season has finally arrived. The days are getting longer and warmer. Trees turn green again, flowers colour the landscape and animals slowly wake up from their hibernation. What a time to be out in nature and notice all this magic happening here in The Burren Lowlands.

Easy like Sunday morning ❤️
There's nothing quite like preparing your favorite breakfast without having to look at the clock. A slow start of the day not only calms the mind, but also boosts productivity and creativity. So, why not enjoy a slow morning 7 days a week? Even if it means setting your alarm clock 15 minutes earlier, it's definitely worth to take the time.

These warm rays of sunshine make us longing for spring. The crisp morning air will slowly be accompanied by the sweet scent of blooming flowers. The quiet forest will awaken with the sounds of chirping birds and scampering wildlife. The once barren landscape will transform into a lush green paradise, inviting exploration and adventure. This time in the cabin is a reminder to embrace the changing seasons and literally see nature come back to live again. 🌱🌼

Have you been feeling a bit tired and unmotivated lately? Don’t worry, that’s normal this time of the year. Nature is in hibernation and our bodies need their rest too. Try to break your daily routine and immerse yourself in a whole new environment. Starting your day by waking up to the sound of chirping birds and the gentle glow of the rising sun filtering through the trees can make a world of difference. Be gentle with yourself and try to take enough time to slow down and just do ‘nothing’ for a while. It’s okay. ✨

Winter has officially arrived and we are in awe of the beauty of nature during this season. ❄️ The snow might not be there yet, but the frost-covered landscapes are simply breathtaking. Don't you love taking a long walk through the woods, marveling at the way the sunlight filters through the bare branches and sparkles on the snow? The crisp, fresh air and the silence of the winter woods are so calming and rejuvenating. And there's nothing quite like the warmth and comfort of returning to a cozy cabin after a day spent exploring the great outdoors. Here's to embracing the beauty of winter and all the magical moments it brings. 🌲

Slow Cabins® are temporary eco houses that are completely self-sufficient when it comes to water and electricity provisions. They are situated in secret locations close to home and rose from the Slow (travel) movement, more about Slow Travel on our concept page. In a Slow Cabin there is no Internet as well, which means that you slow down and break free from the stress of everyday life.
Self-sufficient lodging is unique. Not only are you going back to basics, you also gain more respect for nature and the environment. You become acquainted with the slower pace of nature and learn to accept it as it is.
Upon your arrival, you are given a fully charged battery – charged by solar panels. In addition, you get a substantial water reservoir filled with filtered rainwater. At normal consumption levels, you can live completely self-sufficiently with ‘zero impact’ for several days (even during the winter months). So as your cabin’s battery discharges, yours recharges.
However substantial, your resources are not endless, during your self-sufficient stay, heightened awareness of how you use energy and water is thus essential. Throughout your stay, you can monitor your battery, as well as your rainwater levels, on a display in the Slow Cabin.
Being obligated to keep an eye out for your resource levels raises consciousness and promotes active awareness of your footprint during a your stay. A consciousness, many of our guest take home with them. Off-the-grid vacations are no longer a romantic dream – they’re an absolute reality! Read more on our Off-grid technology on our concept page
Our Slow Cabins® are set up at temporary locations, which we keep strictly confidential. Don’t worry, they are no further than 2.5 hours’ drive from large central cities in Ireland. So, there is always one in your neck of the woods, pun intended :)!
When you make a reservation, you will receive all the relevant information on your Slow Cabin two weeks before departure. A brochure will tell you how to get there as well as information on activities in and around the cabin, from beautiful walks to cosy local eateries and other surprising slow activities.
Our Time for Two cabins are suitable for up to 2 people
We can provide a baby cot on request for up to 1 child at some of our cabins. Please select this during your reservation under “extra services”.
Oh no, that is too bad! Contact us as soon as possible at info[at]slowcabins.ie and we’ll look for a solution together.
Due to the logistical complexity of servicing the Slow Cabins®, it is not yet possible to reserve meals. However, in the cabins, you have access to an equipped kitchen with a small gas burner and a wood BBQ, make sure to pack your chef’s hat.
It is entirely up to you whether you bring food along (or prepare at home to heat up in the cabin), buy daily fresh ingredients in the local shops or to go to a restaurant in the neighbourhood.
In our brochures, which we send to you two weeks before your stay, you will find all kinds of delicious tips on where to buy fresh local produce and where to find the best restaurants.
Slow Cabins® are relatively small houses (<40 m2) which contain everything you need and nothing you don’t need.
Each Slow Cabin is equipped with a queen-sized bed (including linens), a bathroom with a warm shower and toilet, a wood-burning stove in the living room, a small, furnished kitchen with a refrigerator, a cooktop with two burners, flatware/silverware, cookware and utensils, a wood-burning barbecue (outdoor) with a grill plate and outdoor furniture. Everything you need to light the barbecue is at hand.
The most basic ingredients and supplies for the kitchen and bathroom, such as olive oil, salt and pepper, coffee and tea, soap and towels, are also present. Find a complete overview on everything that is present in the cabins on our Time for Two cabin page.
Our aim, by only providing the absolute necessities, is to give our guests the gift of peace, quiet and happiness. You can book your cabin here
Definitely! Two weeks before your stay, we will send you not only the info about the location of your cabin but also a brief guide to all the fun activities that are on offer in the vicinity of your Slow Cabin. What’s more, in the cabin itself you will also find various walking routes and brochures.
Be the first to know about new locations and win a free stay.
