This was honestly one of the best weekends away myself and my fiance have had. A group of 4 of us traveled up from the Kerry border and the moment we arrived we felt welcome and valued. Absolutely amazing hospitality right off the bat. The communal kitchen area was all clean and everything worked as it should, the site itself was spotless, amazingly clean and fresh looking. We stayed in 'yurt Cobain' and we were instantly impressed with how everything was presented. From the handmade soap and chocolates on the pillows, to the wine cups and bottle opener, to the travel sized games, everything we could have asked for was sat there waiting for us in a perfect relaxing environment. The offer of making your own pizza was an amazing touch as well, we originally planned to go out for a meal but we decided to try something different (it also meant we could open the wine!) €30 for 4 pizza bases, fresh ingredients, use of the pizza oven and the wood to burn wasnt only brilliant value, but they tasted amazing and fresh as well!
The toilet area was clean and well looked after, the shower rooms were also very well presented. As well as this, the care given to the recycling and waste management was very evident and well laid out.
Along with all of the physical positives, this place has such an incredible atmosphere. It's relaxed, it's welcoming, and over all a really positive experience. We've been camping plenty of times, and wanted to try something different and experience glamping, needless to say this trip has sold us. We will most definitely be returning in the near future (Not just a trip up the road either, 6 hour round trip..) but this site is absolutely worth it.
The ONLY suggestion we could make (if we're being very fussy) is that there be slightly more attention paid to the river walk. The river itself isn't amazing (can't be helped) and although the grass was freshly cut and green, it felt as if something was lacking. Boards of information or a few more statues, flowers, or benches would have been a welcome sight, just to give the eye something to look at. The man-made lake is also a nice touch, and although there are a couple chairs to sit at it feels slightly looked past. Even something such as a kayak or a dingy
to rent and paddle around would have been a great little bonus. We enjoyed the mindful thinking spiral, as it was something different and added to the already relaxed yet quirky nature of the site.
Local towns have everything you could need as well, only a 10 minute drive down the road if you need to pick something up from the supermarket. As well as this, Lough Key is only 30 minutes away. With plenty of activities for families, such as walks, boat hire, and Segway hire. Although they also offer a campsite to stay at, they lack the personality and charm that Wes and Tuesday have to offer their guests.
Over-all we absolutely loved this trip away, we will definitely be returning and we can't wait to make it a longer stay next time! Amazing hosts, amazing site, amazing experience, do yourself a favor and come here!
