Mulvarra House (www.mulvarra.com) is a new workshop and retreat centre located in the village of St Mullins on the River Barrow. We run weekend workshops and retreats primarily in the areas of yoga/meditation, traditional arts and crafts, and food. Located right on the border of Carlow, Kilkenny, and Wexford, we are an hour and a half away from Dublin. Waterford and Kilkenny are practically on our doorstep. Your hosts, yoga teacher Tim, and fervent cook fanatic Linda, have created a wonderfully peaceful and relaxed environment at Mulvarra. While at Mulvarra, you will get to experience a truly magical landscape which surrounds the ancient monastic site of St Mullins, the jewel of the River Barrow.

Fantastic experience: Mulvarra is a really lovely place for a yoga retreat! I organised a yoga retreat weekend and the setting (lovely views of the forest and the river Barrow) and the facilities (dedicated indoor yoga studio and outdoor deck, all en-suite bedrooms, large dining room) are brilliant. The food that Linda makes is both delicious and tasty and we were all really well looked after during our weekend. Tim and Linda are a pleasure to work with on organising events and I highly recommend Mulvarra house :)

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend a yoga retreat at Mulvarra House highly enough. The location is superb, immersed in nature with the house / studio nestled in the trees and the view of the Barrow River on the doorstep. Tim and Linda are such generous inclusive hosts. The yoga sessions with Tim were perfectly pitched and really inspiring while the cookery demonstrations with Linda were delightful and lots of fun. I’ve started to use the beautiful recipes already! I came away feeling refreshed and invigorated. A wonderful place.

Fantastic experience: I'm just back from one of the most enjoyable retreats - Yoga with Tim and learning how to cook and eating delicious vegetarian food with Linda. I felt so welcome and relaxed in my comfortable bedroom. Tim and Linda are so down to earth and lovely company at meal times. This retreat totally fulfilled my expectations and I will be back.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic weekend at the Mulvarra House Food and Yoga retreat. The vegetarian food was outstanding and the food demos left me feeling energized and inspired to try new recipes at hone. The yoga was also excellent, Tim has a huge knowledge base of the yoga philosophy and was great at explaining the benefits of poses and breathing techniques, as well as explaining how to safely practice the poses. I came home from this retreat feeling great. The local area is also a beautiful place to explore.

Fantastic experience: Just had the most wonderful yoga weekend at Mulvarra House. Linda and Tim were such great hosts. The atmosphere was so laid back and welcoming and I'm still dreaming about Linda's food! Have never been to St Mullins before and by couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Spent Saturday afternoon doing a 16k walk along the river and we were rewarded with a lovely lunch at Mullichain cafe when we got back to St Mullins.

Fantastic experience: A lovely yoga retreat weekend in one of the most scenic parts of Ireland. Our hosts, Tim and Linda, could not have been more welcoming. Linda is an exceptional cook and the yoga room was absolutely beautiful. St Mullins is a historic part of the Ancient East and the walk along the Barrow River toe path is a must

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a weekend yoga retreat for 10 to 14 people this is the place to go. Beautiful countryside over looking the river Barrow with lots of ancient ruins and walks. The yoga studio is a separate space which adds to the experience. Tim and Linda provided us with “mouth watering food “ and could not do enough to make our weekend enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: I have just come down to earth after a magical weekend yoga retreat in Mulvarra House. It is my second retreat in Mulvarra and it will not be the last. Everything was perfect from the incredibly peaceful yoga studio, to the most comfortable bed, to the heart warming vegetarian food. The hosts Tim and Linda make Mulvarra house what it is, a truly magical space. Thank you so much

Chris Zarzar 6 years ago

Positive experience: Tim and Linda are absolutely lovely. This is a magical BnB perched atop a hill overlooking the river running through St. Mullins. The view from each room is gorgeous making for especially beautiful morning and evening views. We had Linda's granola and their buttermilk pancakes in the morning, both of which were grand. But make sure to try a bit of the oatmeal bread, it was delicious! Oh and if you walk from their house down to the river walk, take a right up the road past the cafe and keep walking until you reach the main road. It lets out to a great little pub. The home is on the older side, so be prepared for things like fluctuating water pressure and older mattresses.
