The Deerstone is a sustainable luxury hideaway in Laragh, County Wicklow, set in Glendalough Valley amid mountain scenery, traditional sheep farms and the Inchavore River. Its six-acre retreat offers self-catering cottages, cosy shepherd’s huts and deluxe guest rooms, designed to connect guests with the surrounding landscape. Some shepherd’s huts are dog-friendly. The property is a short walk from Laragh village and close to Glendalough National Park and the Wicklow Way, making it a base for exploring the outdoors.

Guests can book yoga retreats, corporate gatherings, exclusive hire and other events in the site’s distinctive communal spaces. The Deerstone’s team can help arrange activities with local guides and experts, including hiking, biking, foraging, wild swimming and forest bathing. Food is another part of the experience, with seasonal, locally sourced options such as breakfast hampers, vegan lunches and fine dining, plus specialty hampers, picnic lunches and gourmet pizzas on request. Its sustainability initiatives include solar power, rainwater harvesting, compostable toilets, locally sourced materials and support for rewilding.
