Christmas Break at The Deerstone- Wellness & Winter Retreat

Celebrate the magic of the festive season with a cosy Christmas escape in the heart of the Wicklow countryside. Experience Deerstone's signature blend of wellness, relaxation, great food, and festive cheer as you unwind amongst nature and enjoy a carefully curated three-night retreat designed to help you slow down and reconnect over the Christmas break, December 28th-31st.


Choose how you stay: book an entire cottage for friends or family (including the dog – we're proudly dog-friendly), or escape to one of our unique shepherd's huts, perfectly designed for two. Whether you're planning a festive gathering or a peaceful winter retreat, Deerstone offers the perfect setting to relax and recharge.


With early check-in from 1pm and late check-out at 1pm, your time is your own from the moment you arrive. Each booking includes a complimentary breakfast hamper, so mornings begin slowly and effortlessly.


 
Across your stay, enjoy a thoughtfully curated mix of wellness, social and family-friendly activities. Ease into the day with yoga or pilates, while younger guests can join a morning stretch class or play some games in The Barn. Evenings invite connection, with a relaxed pizza night and a cosy cinema night.

Make the most of your surroundings with complimentary electric bike rental, or take a short trip to the breathtaking Glendalough for scenic hikes, lakeside walks and fresh mountain air.
Back on site, unwind in Deerstone’s communal wellness facilities, including the sauna, hydrapool, cold plunge, jacuzzi, and Japanese soak spa.

If you’d like to elevate your stay, a range of optional experiences are also available on site, including massages, pirtis sauna sessions, guided hikes in Glendalough, private yoga sessions, and gourmet picnic lunches. Please ensure you book in advance!
