Hidden Hearts Haven Spa is a securely separated apartment, attached to the owner's home but entirely private - your own entrance, your own world. Wake to the dawn chorus of birds in an organic garden, surrounded by willows and open fields, with views across natural woodland and the Callows - Ireland's largest inland bird sanctuary.

"It felt like stepping out of time. The hot tub under the stars, the quiet, the birds - we came for a weekend and stayed longer."

Inside, the south-facing apartment floods with warm light through large windows. A cosy lounge with wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchenette, and two peaceful bedrooms - one with a double bed, one with an Ikea daybed - make this the ideal base for couples, families, or friends seeking refuge from busier towns. You're 10 kilometres from Birr Castle, yet a world away from crowds.
