Sandhill House
Coastal quiet, fireside comfort
Donegal’s coast and wooded paths set the scene for a stay where restorative comforts matter as much as time outdoors. Sandhill House has a newly built yoga studio, spacious bedrooms and nourishing meals, with generous grounds that invite guests to slow down between sessions. A hot tub and a fire lodge add welcome places to unwind, while nearby wild beaches and forests make it easy to trade indoor quiet for fresh air and big scenery. The retreat’s particular practice and daily programme depend on the gathering, so it’s worth checking what is planned before choosing dates. With comfortable accommodation and a warm, relaxed feel, Sandhill House suits visitors who want a retreat setting without giving up simple pleasures. Retreats are paid; contact the host for current dates, fees and details such as dietary needs or what to bring.
