Herons Nest
Holistic Guesthouse
The Herons Nest is a holistic guesthouse for women nestled in the Blackwater Valley, Ireland. This is a space for you to rest and refill your cup. To come back to the wisdom of your body and find a gentle space to clear your mind.
A space to cocoon and to inspire.
A Sanctuary Crafted for the Modern Woman
Amidst Ireland's lush, tranquil landscapes lies Heron’s Nest—a retreat space that transcends the ordinary. Designed with the modern woman in mind, Heron’s Nest offers more than just a getaway; it is a sanctuary where women can find refuge from the demands of their fast-paced lives. Whether you’re a solo traveller seeking a blend of solitude and adventure, an executive desiring a space to breathe and let go, or a woman on a path of self-discovery, our space provides a transformative experience tailored to your needs.
In a world that constantly demands more, women are often expected to balance numerous roles with grace and strength. Yet, this can lead to energy depletion, creative blocks, and feeling overwhelmed. Heron’s Nest was created to respond to these challenges. In this place, women can step away from their constant sense of duty and often overwhelm and reconnect with themselves in a nurturing environment. Here, we honour your need for rest and restoration, offering a retreat that supports you in reclaiming your vitality, clarity, and joy.
At Heron’s Nest, every aspect of our retreat is intentionally designed to facilitate deep relaxation and restoration. From the carefully chosen location—nestled in a serene, natural landscape—to the thoughtfully curated experiences, we ensure that your time here is both peaceful and profoundly renewing. The tranquil surroundings and our holistic approach to wellness create the perfect conditions for you to rest deeply, recharge your nervous system, and return to your life with a renewed sense of purpose.
