On an eighth-generation farm in Cappoquin, Co Waterford, beneath the Knockmealdown Mountains, Cappoquin Estate invites you to stay in off-grid native-timber cabins or cosy farmstead rooms. Powered by spring water and our own wood, and nourished by orchard fruit and field produce, each visit offers wilder hospitality rooted in soil health and renewal: wander sheep-dotted hills, watch grain harvested, sleep under star-bright skies.
