Some places leave such an impression that you find yourself thinking about them long after you’ve left. That’s exactly how I feel about the Wellbeing Sanctuary at Drumhierny Woodland Hideaway in Leitrim. Nestled within the estate’s original walled garden and surrounded by towering oak trees, it’s one of my favourite places to escape to when I need to slow down and recharge.
Having visited before, I couldn’t wait to return, and this time I decided to try the Aroma Bath experience. From the moment I arrived, I was reminded why I love this place so much. It’s so peaceful, and the woodland setting makes you feel as though you’ve stepped into another world entirely.
One of the highlights of every visit is the warm welcome. Kathleen was absolutely wonderful, she’s friendly, welcoming and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a relaxing experience. It’s those personal touches that make Drumhierny feel so special.
Before my Aroma Bath, I spent some time in the sauna and outdoor relaxation area, taking in the peaceful woodland surroundings. One of the things I love most about Drumhierny is how easy it is to switch off. Sitting outside, listening to the birds and breathing in the fresh woodland air, I could feel the stresses of everyday life melting away.
This visit also gave me the opportunity to try the new VOYA Bath Tray, and I think it’s a brilliant addition to the experience. For just €12, it includes a luxurious salt scrub, a VOYA organic seaweed eye mask, and body lotion to use after your shower. The salt scrub is perfect for exfoliating your skin before soaking in the bath, while the seaweed eye mask is great for reducing puffiness around your eyes. Finishing off with the body lotion left my skin feeling soft and nourished. My skin has never felt so good.
The Aroma Bath itself was pure bliss. Soaking outdoors in the fresh air, surrounded by nature, is a completely different experience to a traditional spa. I watched the trees sway overhead and listened to the sounds of the woodland around me.
Drumhierny’s philosophy is all about disconnecting from the pressures of everyday life and reconnecting with yourself, your loved ones and nature, and every visit reminds me how important that is.
If you’re looking for a unique wellness experience in the North West, I highly recommend a visit to Drumhierny Woodland Hideaway’s Wellbeing Sanctuary. Whether you’re booking an Aroma Bath, trying one of their seaweed bathing experiences, or simply taking time to relax in the beautiful woodland setting, it’s an experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and restored.
