At Fuchsia Lane Farm, we’ve always believed that the best way to experience Ireland is to slow down and simply be. It’s in the early morning walks past hedgerows and stone walls, in the stillness of the woodlands, in the quiet chats by the stove in the evening. That’s why we’re proud to support Tourism Ireland’s #IrelandUnrushed campaign, which celebrates a gentler, more meaningful kind of holiday.
This campaign speaks to the heart of what we offer here on our small family farm in Terryglass, County Tipperary. When you stay with us, you’re not rushing from one tourist stop to the next, you’re tuning in to the rhythm of nature, the community, and yourself.
What Slow Tourism Means to Us
Slow tourism isn’t about doing nothing, it’s about doing just enough. It’s about walking the forest trail or sitting our newly created orchard, spotting wildflowers or a curious robin on a fencepost. It’s about stopping in the village to chat with someone at the shop, enjoying a meal and meeting people in Paddy’s or the Derg Inn, or enjoying the walks to the village.
One of our guests recently said, “I finally finished a book I’ve been carrying around for a couple of months, in the beautiful meditation space you created in the woodland, with just the breeze and birds for company.” That’s the kind of moment we love to hear about. Because it means the pace of life has shifted. The clutter has cleared. Something important has returned.
Regenerative Tourism: Giving Back by Slowing Down
Our approach to Regenerative Tourism is rooted in this same philosophy. We want our guests not just to enjoy the landscape, but to become part of its care and renewal. That might mean buying from local artisans, supporting nearby organic growers, or simply learning how the hedgerows and wild spaces, such as the Hare’s Corner, support birds, wildlife, and biodiversity.
When you stay at Fuchsia Lane Farm, you’re supporting a small, rural business that believes in doing things with heart and purpose. You’re joining a slower, more grounded way of living, if only for a few days. And in doing so, you’re helping to keep that way of life alive.
An Invitation to Experience Ireland, Unrushed
So if your idea of a good holiday includes morning yoga on the grass or in An Scioból, reading by the fire, or sharing a simple meal made with local ingredients, we think you’ll feel right at home here.
We believe that Ireland reveals its best self when you give it time. And that when you travel slowly, you go home feeling not just rested, but renewed.
We’d love to welcome you to Fuchsia Lane Farm, where there’s space to breathe, time to wander, and peace to reconnect.
Warm wishes from all of us here,
Niall, Inez and the Fuchsia Lane Farm crew
