Why Choose Fernwood for an Eco Retreat?

Sustainable Design at Its Core

At Fernwood, sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s our way of being. From our eco-conscious construction to our renewable energy systems, every aspect of your stay is designed with care for the environment:

  • Renewable Energy: On-site micro-hydro turbines provide power for the woodland sauna, while solar PV panels power all the power to the treehouses during the summer months.
  • Sustainable Materials: All timber used in our cabins has been sourced sustainably from sustainably managed forests in Ireland.
  • Organic Practices: Fernwood Farm is certified organic by the Organic Trust, ensuring that every element of your stay aligns with environmentally responsible practices.  No herbicides, pesticides or inorganic fertilisers are added to the land.
  • Natural Water Supply: Enjoy UV treated drinking water, free from additional chemicals, sourced directly from the land.
