“It exceeded expectations and was even better in person than what I’d seen when booking. The host was friendly and easily contactable at all times.”

The retreat

Rural calm, real comfort

Bealtaine sits in open countryside on the Leitrim and Roscommon border, fifteen minutes from Carrick-on-Shannon and the river. It was built for the part of a break that most houses forget: the hours between doing things.

Two bedrooms, a table made for long dinners, and a private wellness area a short walk across the garden. Room to slow down properly, whether that is a family, a couple’s retreat, or a few friends together.

“The house is gorgeous in an idyllic rural setting, with everything you could possibly need. Really thoughtfully put together.”

— Sharon C.
The wellness area

Fire, water and quiet

A private dry sauna for four to six. A hot tub under open sky. A cold plunge beside it, an outdoor shower to rinse between them, and an open fire pit a few steps away. There is a WC out there too, so you needn’t head back indoors.

It is all yours for the whole stay. No booking a slot, no sharing with other guests, no set hours. The path out to it is lit from dusk until dawn, so a soak under the stars is part of the point rather than an obstacle.

“The hot tub was perfect for relaxing, the sauna was fantastic, and the cold plunge was a great addition that really completed the experience.”

— Anthony F.
The house

Room for six, comfortably

Bedrooms. One room with a king bed. One room with two double beds. A sofa bed in the living room if you need to stretch to eight, though six is where the house is at its most comfortable.

Bathrooms. One full bathroom in the house, plus a second WC out at the wellness area.

Living. A fully equipped kitchen, a dining room just through the door with a table that seats everyone at once, and a living room built around the fire.

“So peaceful and quiet. Stayed for 2 nights but didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. Great place for small groups looking to recharge and have the chats together.”

— Farah E.

Where you are

On the Leitrim and Roscommon border

Fifteen minutes from Carrick-on-Shannon for restaurants, the river and the Saturday morning run for pastries. Duignans XL is seven minutes away for anything you forgot. Far enough out that the sky goes properly dark.

A car makes it easiest. If you would rather take the train, Carrick-on-Shannon station is twelve minutes away and taxis from there are simple to arrange, with driver numbers in your guest guide.

“Great place to stay with a group of friends who want to get away. Very quiet lovely area and still only 15 minutes from Carrick.”

★★★★★ Rated five stars on Google

“The sauna, hot tub and the cold plunge were amazing and absolutely spotless. We made use of the firepit at night too, and under a clear starry sky, it was absolute bliss. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an escape from the city.”

Questions

Frequently asked

How does the sleeping work for couples?

One room has a king bed, the other two double beds. That suits a couple and two friends, or up to three couples, with a sofa bed in the living room if you need to stretch further.

How long does the hot tub take to heat?

It is kept at temperature throughout your stay. You do not need to heat it up on arrival.

Do we have to book slots for the sauna and hot tub?

No. The whole wellness area is yours for the entire stay, with no schedules and nobody else using it.

Is it dark walking out to the wellness area at night?

The path is lit from dusk until dawn. Bring sandals or flip-flops though, the ground is stony in places.

Is there a shower at the wellness area, or do we traipse back inside?

There is an outdoor shower to rinse off between the sauna, hot tub and plunge, and a WC out there too.

Can we bring the dog?

Not at the moment.

How far is Carrick-on-Shannon?

About fifteen minutes by car. Duignans XL for shopping is seven minutes. A car makes it easiest, though the train to Carrick-on-Shannon plus a taxi works too.
