About Us

Located in Rossnowlagh, on the Wild Atlantic Way in Co. Donegal, The Bee Pods is the ultimate luxurious retreat to nature.

The origin of this unique retreat was born out of the imaginative and adventurous spirit of two childhood friends who shared a deep passion for nature, surfing, fishing, and the soothing sounds of the sea. These two friends carved a path over the hill, connecting their homes, as they embarked on countless outdoor adventures together. As the years went by, however, the boys grew up, moved away, and the path became overgrown.

Decades later, Siobhan and William McGuckin, (one of the boy’s parents) set about unearthing that path to adventure and rediscovering the beauty of the wilderness. They introduced bees to the site, and their love of foraging on gorse and wildflowers resulted in the production of exceptional honey.

Inspired by a need to recreate that deep connection to the natural world and share it with others, the couple transformed their dream into reality by opening The Bee Pods, an evolving and changing luxurious retreat where the natural habitat is respected, and the beauty of the location is preserved.

The pods have been designed and built by William and Siobhan, with a focus on taking only what they need and minimising the disruption to the natural environment. Each pod is thoughtfully curated to provide a luxurious and comfortable stay, while allowing guests to connect with nature and disconnect from the stresses of daily life.

William and Siobhan take pride in their little corner of paradise and hope that you will love it as much as they do.

Book your stay at The Bee Pods and experience the beauty of Rossnowlagh for yourself.
