The Roundhouse

A Meeting Space Designed for Better Conversations

A defining feature of The Deerstone experience is the Roundhouse, a beautifully designed circular meeting and event space created to foster collaboration, openness, and fresh thinking.

The circular layout encourages collaboration, placing everyone on equal footing without a designated head of the table. In this inspiring setting, hierarchies dissolve, and creativity flourishes as each voice feels equally valued and heard.

Research shows that round spaces promote group cohesion and boost creative problem-solving, encouraging collaboration by creating a stronger sense of belonging among participants. When everyone can see each other easily and share equal space within the room, discussions become more open and ideas flow more naturally, making the Roundhouse the ideal setting for strategic planning, team building, and innovation.

Surrounded by natural light and views of the Wicklow landscape, the Roundhouse provides the perfect setting for leadership retreats, strategy sessions, innovation workshops and team gatherings.

The Barn

The Barn is the warm, rustic social heart of the property, a relaxed gathering place where teams naturally come together at the end of the day. With its cosy atmosphere, crackling fire, and informal setting, it’s the perfect space to unwind after a day of meetings.

To the front, a spacious outdoor area offers the ideal setting for enjoying sunnier days, while a fire pit to the side creates a natural spot for evening drinks, reflection, and relaxed conversation under the open sky.
Here, guests gather to share a drink, play music, enjoy board games, or simply sit and talk long into the evening. It’s often in these relaxed moments that teams reconnect most deeply and conversations continue well beyond the meeting room.

The Shed

Designed as the retreat’s shared dining space, The Shed provides a warm, considered setting for coming together throughout the stay.

Overlooking the landscapes of Wicklow National Park, The Shed is where guests are welcomed on arrival and where much of the retreat experience naturally unfolds.

Home to shared dining at The Deerstone, it features a cosy dining room, professional kitchen, and wood‑fired stove, creating an inviting setting for meals and informal gatherings. Large windows frame views of the surrounding countryside, while a seasonal outdoor terrace provides additional seating during warmer months. Seating up to 26 guests indoors, The Shed offers an intimate space where teams come together to share food, conversation, and ideas, with seasonal, produce‑led menus prepared by our experienced chefs.

Nourishing Food That Fuels Better Thinking

Food is a central part of the experience at The Deerstone

Our kitchen is guided by the rhythms of nature, with vibrant, seasonal dishes crafted to nourish both body and mind throughout your stay. Many of our ingredients are grown right here on the grounds or sourced from trusted local producers across Wicklow. Each menu is led by what the land is offering in that moment, allowing us to create produce driven meals that capture the essence of the season, fresh, honest, and deeply connected to place.

Meals are served in our cosy dining room ‘The Shed’, where conversations and connections are encouraged, from relaxed breakfasts to memorable long-table dinners in the evening.

For many guests, the food becomes one of the highlights of their retreat.

Seasonal, produce led menus shaped by what the land offers throughout the year

Sustainable Retreats with Purpose

Designed as a luxury eco retreat within the Wicklow landscape, The Deerstone blends thoughtful design, renewable energy, and regenerative practices to minimise environmental impact while creating an inspiring place for teams to gather.

From the way our buildings are powered and heated to the ingredients served at the table, every element of the retreat reflects a commitment to responsible hospitality and deep care for the surrounding environment. The Deerstone is crafted using natural materials, locally sourced furnishings, and carefully selected antiques and vintage pieces, choices that honour both sustainability and timeless design. The landscape and gardens follow the natural contours of the land, using what the site itself offers, allowing the retreat to feel woven into the environment rather than placed upon it. Across the property, all products are Irish-made and local where possible, with an emphasis on natural fibres such as cotton and linens.

Solar powered energy systems

that generate nearly three quarters of the site’s electricity, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.

A1 BER rated accommodation

achieving the highest standard of building energy performance through efficient design and renewable technologies.

Energy efficient heat pumps

used throughout cottages and shepherd’s huts to provide heating and cooling while minimising carbon emissions.

A rewilding programme

that restores native plants and habitats, supporting birds, red squirrels, bees, and other pollinators across the landscape.

Locally sourced and homegrown produce

with an on site growing programme supplying seasonal ingredients to the kitchen.

Compostable waterless toilets

conserving water and eliminating the need for traditional wastewater systems.

Interior design rooted in natural materials

including locally crafted furniture, reclaimed pieces, antiques, and vintage finds selected for longevity and minimal environmental impact.

Garden and site design

shaped by the natural flow of the land, using native plants and materials to ensure the retreat blends harmoniously with its surroundings.

Use of Irish-made and natural products

across the property, prioritising local makers and sustainable textiles such as natural cotton and linen.

These initiatives work together to create a retreat experience where luxury, nature, and environmental responsibility exist in balance, offering a place that truly honours the land on which it stands.

For companies seeking venues aligned with their own sustainability values, The Deerstone offers a meaningful and forward-thinking choice.

Testimonials

We hosted annual back to back offsites for our advisory team at the Deerstone. The tranquility of the grounds and round room were perfect to get the creative juices flowing. We relaxed into the multiple saunas and plunge pools on site before our fine dining experience in the long room in the main house. Staff couldn’t have been more friendly with great consistency of food quality from breakfast through lunch into dinner. Highly recommend for either a corporate event or private party’.

‘We have now held two Senior Management retreats at The Deerstone, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The facilities were excellent, well designed, comfortable, and ideal for both formal sessions and informal conversations. The staff are super friendly, and make sure that everything runs smoothly and is well co-ordinated. The food was also a real highlight: high quality, thoughtfully prepared, and very well received by the whole group. And the accommodation was equally impressive. The lodges are beautifully designed, spacious, and very comfortable, allowing everyone to relax and recharge after a full day of sessions.

'EO Ireland returned to The Deerstone for the second year in a row to host our Health Summit, and once again, it exceeded every expectation. The attention to detail throughout Deerstone is exceptional. From the bespoke dinner the night for our overnighters before to the beautifully prepared healthy food and drinks throughout our stay, every element reflected care and quality. The on-site facilities offered our members the perfect balance of relaxation and rejuvenation, and the technology setup was seamless, making the experience smooth and professional. What really makes The Deerstone stand out, though, is the people. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, creating an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and refined. It’s rare to find a place that combines luxury, wellness, and heart so effortlessly. We’re already looking forward to coming back.'

'There’s something genuinely special about The Deerstone. From the moment you arrive, it feels like you’ve stepped into a place designed to slow things down and clear your head. The setting is stunning, but it’s more than that, it’s the atmosphere. Everything is thoughtfully put together, from the beautiful accommodation to the food, which is exceptional without trying too hard. It all just works. What really stands out is that the whole experience stays with you. Our team left feeling recharged, with a real sense of clarity that carried well beyond the stay. A truly magical place.'
