Luxury Self-Catering Accommodation in Connemara
If you’re looking for luxury self-catering accommodation in Connemara, Fernwood offers two unforgettable options: a tranquil forest retreat just outside Clifden, and two beautifully restored harbourside homes in the heart of Roundstone village.
Whether you’re planning a romantic break for two or a family holiday by the sea, both of our Connemara locations offer a slower pace of life, beautiful design, and everything you need to feel at home (just with better views).
Fernwood Farm – A Romantic Retreat in the Woods
Tucked into 150 acres of native woodland near Clifden, Fernwood Farm is designed for couples who want time and space to unwind. Each of our three unique lodgings—the Treehouse Dome, The Stilt House, and The Bothy—offers total privacy, stunning views, and elegant, low-impact design.
All three are adult-only and built for comfort: super-king beds, wood-burning stoves, private kitchens, and large outdoor decks that open onto the forest. Whether you're soaking in a Swedish hot tub, cooking a quiet dinner, or walking the private trails that lead to Salt Lake, Fernwood gives you the kind of reset that’s hard to find elsewhere.
There’s a Scandinavian sauna with a cold plunge overlooking the lake, access to the Connemara Greenway, and fresh organic produce available when in season. And when you’re ready to reconnect with the outside world, Clifden—with its shops, restaurants, and music—is just a short drive away.

Roundstone Quay – Family-Friendly Stays by the Sea
Our Roundstone Quay homes offer a different kind of luxury. Set in one of the most scenic villages in Connemara, these two harbourside properties are ideal for families, friends, or anyone who wants to be close to the water. Both houses are pet friendly, filled with natural light, and just steps from cafés, beaches, and boat trips around the bay.
Inside, you’ll find everything you’d expect from a high-end self-catering stay—well-equipped kitchens, spacious living areas, and comfortable bedrooms. But it’s the location that makes these homes special. Wake up to views of the harbour, spend the afternoon on nearby Gurteen or Dog’s Bay beaches, and enjoy dinner with the sound of the sea in the background.
Roundstone is lively in summer and peaceful in the off-season, making it a perfect year-round destination for family holidays, extended stays, or pet-friendly escapes.
