Kayaking on the Drumshamazon
Fantastic experience with our guide, Emma! She was friendly and really made the activity accessible for all of us. Our youngest was 5 and able to go in a double kayak which he loved. I tried paddle boarding and had a great time! The Drumshamazon is beautiful and we really enjoyed a peaceful journey along it. Thank you for a great activity!Ruth P – TripAdvisor review

Amazing lakeside sauna, cold plunge and open-air jacuzzi. Sit in a wood-fired sauna overlooking the scenic Lough Allen with the rolling Arigna Mountains in the distance. Afterwards, jump into the refreshingly cold plunge before doing it all again or trying the jacuzzi. The site is surrounded by colourful flowers in summertime and authentic soft lighting during the long winter evenings. Staff are so helpful and friendly. This is a true gem!

Just had the most relaxing day of yoga, hot tub and sauna. Asia was amazing at talking us through our yoga poses, I felt so comfortable in the space and not under any pressure to perform. I don’t know what else to say only go x

Along with my sister and a friend, we took ourselves along for this delicious wellness retreat where we were welcomed by Edwin on what was a particularly sunny day. First hour was given to a stretching but relaxing yoga session in their beautiful spacious yurt looking out to Lough Allen, refreshing fruit and cold drinks followed, then an hour to take time to relax in the sauna, take some dips into the ice cold plunge pool (that would have taken our breath away but for the careful guidance of Edwin and Tojo) leaving us tingling and ready for the hot tub, and back again to the sauna.
