Soul Van – Off Grid Sanctuary Under the Trees

Soul Van is a small off grid sanctuary resting within a grove of elm, hawthorn, willow and dancing aspen trees in rural County Wexford, just a short distance from the sea. Many guests say the first thing they notice when they arrive is the feeling of peacefulness. The space Soulvan is a lovingly restored 1980s caravan. What began as a small room for visiting family slowly revealed itself as a place where people could pause, breathe and reconnect with themselves. Soul Van sits within a wild garden that we care for gently for the wildlife we share the land with. Robins, blackbirds, swallows, tree sparrows and wood pigeons are often heard throughout the day. This is simple off grid living. The van has battery lighting, a comfortable bed and a peaceful place to rest beneath the trees. Guests have private access to a chemical toilet, an outdoor camping style shower, a gazebo kitchen area for preparing simple meals and a sunny deck that is perfect for morning tea. Evenings are often spent beside the fire pit at the centre of the grove where the trees open to the wide sky above. Many guests sit there quietly watching the flames while the stars appear overhead. Mornings begin slowly with birdsong and sunlight on the deck. Some guests wander the garden, read, colour in the mindfulness books provided or walk down to the nearby sea before returning to the calm of the grove. Many people tell us they sleep more deeply here than they have in a long time. Soul Van tends to suit people who appreciate quiet surroundings, nature and a slower pace of life. It is especially loved by solo travellers, couples and anyone needing a gentle reset away from busy schedules. Our hope is that anyone who stays here leaves feeling a little lighter than when they arrived. Guest access Parking is at the side of our cottage and access to the soul van is across the grass. Other things to note We are in a country side location off a quiet lane mostly surrounded by farmland and lovely neighbours. it is not unusual to see wildlife so you may be lucky and get a glimpse at our resident hedgehog, the cheeky fox that passes through or the buzzards high above the trees along with all the other birds that live or frequent our garden. Also our two dogs Poppy and Kerry may call down to say hello to you in your part of the garden from time to time as it is not completely enclosed.
