‘You feel like you’re a million miles from Dublin’ – the eco-luxury dream that began on a first date
One of our Fab 50 stays for 2024, Kirsty Foynes and Kevin Nowlan have turned their Deerstone ‘eco hideaway’ dream into reality
It didn’t take long for Kirsty Foynes and Kevin Nowlan to hit on their idea of a small, eco-luxury getaway — in fact, it struck on their first date.
“We’ve both always had a bit of wanderlust,” Kirsty says. The couple chatted about their travels, and places they’d stayed in, and Kirsty mentioned she’d love to set up a “boutique B&B” in Greece. Kevin’s eyes lit up, she says. He’d been thinking of a similar concept, only based on an adventure resort on the River Shannon.
