A desk with a harbour view, fast broadband, a self-catering cottage of your own and an island community of fewer than 200 people. Come for a month, or for the whole quiet season.
Summer on Inishbofin is busy with visitors. From October to spring the island belongs to the people who live here: the roads are empty, the light changes by the hour and the evenings are long.
That makes winter a good time for focused work. Cottages that are booked solid in July are available, the Connected Hub in the Community Centre gives you a proper desk and reliable internet, and the walks are all yours.
Your stay also helps island businesses stay open all year.
A bookable hot desk with screen and fast broadband, meeting room for calls, and a cottage to go home to at the end of the day.
Few distractions, long evenings and a landscape with fourteen centuries of stories in it.
Atlantic light, wild weather, and room to work at your own pace.
A living island community, a Special Area of Conservation and a long-recorded history, all within walking distance.
The hub is in the Inishbofin Community Centre in Middlequarter, two minutes' walk from the pier and overlooking the harbour. It is part of the national Connected Hubs network and has high-speed broadband, hot desks and a meeting room.
