The Venue
Barrow House
Welcome Home Retreats are delighted to have sole use of the unique and beautiful Barrow House for the Summer Solstice 2024 Retreat.
This carefully restored 300 year old Georgian House is perched in a sheltered private cove on the water's edge of Barrow Harbour. This majestic property is our home for 4 nights.
The Atlantic will shoulder your arrival along the unforgettable Barrow House driveway, with the Slieve Mish mountains framing the views; immediately allowing guests to leave behind their everyday lives and begin to immerse themselves in their Welcome Home experience...
Welcome
Barrow House itself has been impeccably restored with Georgian features that highlight the rich heritage of this elegant property, making it a perfect home for our Retreat. All guest bedrooms have sea views across Barrow Bay or views to the landscaped gardens and grounds. The Library and the Marble room and downstairs screening room/den provide curated spaces to relax and we are delighted that there are no televisions or radios competing with the peace and tranquility of the House. Both the Library and the Marble Room have open fires, window seats and binoculars to spot the seals and herons in the bay.
Whilst the House is historic, it is most certainly not living in the past. Connectivity is essential with Wi-Fi in all the bedrooms.
Our sunrise and sunset yoga will take place on the deck overlooking the harbour and the outdoor sauna will allow guests to fully restore tired limbs at the days’ end with the option to dip straight into the water from the deck or hop under the outdoor shower.
There are 2 outdoor buildings to allow guests space outside-inside to meditate or simply break away: An Áit Ciúin - The Quiet Place and the newly built Pagoda in the woodland with an elevated view across the water.
A short walk from the house lies the pristine Barrow Beach and the Atlantic Ocean where we will be spending some considerable time.
