Company info

Slow Cabins is a purpose driven concept. Through offering cabin experiences designed to help you recharge, we're able to raise awareness around mental health, energy consumption and actively seek to work on natural regeneration projects where our cabins reside. Our Slow Cabins were built in Belgian where the brand was born and transported to Ireland in 2022. We launched Slow Cabins Ireland that Autumn. We currently have 5 cabins located in Ireland but watch this space, we are growing.

Property info

Slow Cabins offer you an idealic escape for two. Our off grid cabins are situated near the charming village of Kinvara, Co. Galway on the Wild Atlantic Way. Voted Top 5 Sustainable Stays in Ireland by The Sunday Times. So come and escape the chaos of every day life and dare to digital detox at Slow Cabins, surrendering to nature in the secluded Burren Nature Sanctuary. Inside, think Japanese and Scandinavian minimalist design with large panoramic windows, log burning stove, sleek kitchenette, waterfall shower, scandi dry toilet and a super comfortable queen sized bed with luxurious duvet and pillows for a peaceful nights sleep. Disconnect from technology with our network blocking phone box and become more attuned to the present moment. Outside, calming nature is a given. So soak up the song of chirping birds at sunrise and nestle up beside your crackling fire pit at night under a blanket of dazzling stars. We have 5 cabins available on site which accommodate for 2 guests per cabin (furry friends also welcome). Arrive at The Burren Nature Sanctuary for self-check in and be welcomed by an array of faces: Toffee the pony, Frank the alpaca, Ruben the rabbit, Emilia the pig, Highland Cattle, adorable donkeys, friendly goats and heart warming sheep.
