My boyfriend and I stayed here for a couple nights — at the swallows nest (they have other glamping options on the campsite such as other yurts and tents) and it was just the farm experience we were looking for in Ireland! We were able to drive right up to our little house accompanied by a quite beautiful outhouse (equipped with hot shower water!) and park just out front.
We purchased a hot tub session and while it rained for part of it, it was still beautiful because you are covered by trees in that area. We did bring an umbrella while we were in there but it was so stunning still. There was a little covered area for our belongings so they didn’t get wet. A little tip — we ran the cold hose water into the hot tub to cool it off a bit because it was scorching hot upon arrival — and we love very hot hot-tubs. The sessions are 2.5 hours long so we did not feel we were rushed at all.
We ran into some lovely folks and friendly pigs/cows while walking to the hot tub area, which was near the kitchen and common area, wood-burning stove, etc.
The absolute only negative thing to say about this stay was that we were unable to lock our door. We reached out through the app and they said they would check on it (communication was very quick) and perhaps they did but when we returned from our day in town, we still were unable to lock it. Nothing was stolen so I’d say the other campers here are to be trusted :) but it still made us nervous while we were out.
Absolutely stunning little taste of glamping in the farmland of Ireland - I would not pass this up if you are visiting!!!!
