1983
Bobby and Rosie started it
Our parents, Bobby and Rosie Beare, started shaping this corner of the lough in 1982. For thirty years they dedicated themselves to this land and the people who came to visit it, hosting them like family.

We came home
Michael came home to help our parents set up a website, Gill followed six months later. Once we were both here, we started tinkering.
It's been 10 years since we opening our first cafe, taking turns to cook and serve. Thankfully the food has moved on a bit since then.

The right people at the right time
Early on we met a Portuguese studio, Rebelo de Andrade, who drew a spa trail through the forest. It still shapes every design choice we make. Then we stumbled across Area Cubica using a bubble dome at a trade show, who didn't laugh at us when we told them our idea for the Bubble Domes.
Still family. Still here.
We host like people, not hoteliers.
It's how our parents did it and it's how we think hospitality works best.
Bobby still does his rounds and will probably stop you for a chat...and claim to have built everything.
