Experience the charm of Labasheeda, a picturesque village in County Clare, and relax in beautifully crafted Shepherds Huts made from natural materials by local tradespeople. Nestled by the tranquil shores of the River Shannon, these huts provide the perfect setting to relax, rewind, and retreat.

Each hut is thoughtfully designed to combine comfort and functionality. Inside, you’ll find a snug bathroom equipped with a pumped rain shower offering constant hot water from a BioGas-powered boiler, a WC, and a natural stone wash hand basin. The main room features a king-sized bed with fresh linens, alongside a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave, kettle, toaster, plug-in induction hob, and all the pots, pans, and cutlery you need.

For sunny days, enjoy the gas barbecue outside your private hut. Simply bring yourself and some food to cook! If you have specific requests, the friendly owners will do their best to accommodate your needs.

This property has one accessible hut as well as a number of standard huts:

Standard Huts: These come with a king-sized built-in bed.
