    Tranquility in the mountains. Bliss. Old school glamping. Love that it’s fully immersive with nature. Regular and will be back soon! Bed is so comfy 🤩

    We were warmly welcomed by Neill on arrival. We stayed two nights and the setting and scenery was amazing. The location is at the foot of the Mourne Mountains with plenty of hiking options. The pod was very comfy and the showers were spotless and worked a treat.

    The bed was on the small side for me (I'm 6ft 4). You need to be under 6 foot.

    The views and the unique experience of the pod. The kitchen, toilets and showers were a 30 second walk away. Everything you need in the kitchen was there in the way of cooker, pots, pans etc. We cooked, it was great. Neil, our host was helpful and friendly. Quiet and peaceful. Theres a dridge to put your milk, beers etc in.

    There was nothing I did not like.

    This place was amazing, featuring a very quiet area and stunning views of the mountains. Facilities were perfect, with clean toilets & showers. The kitchen was well equipped with a large fridge if you needed it. The staff are very welcoming and more than helpful. I would highly recommend this stay, and I'll definitely be back.

    Everything was fine with no issues.

    The pods are set looking at the Morne mountains giving a beautiful backdrop to breakfast or dinner. The facilities are excellent with very clean toilets, showers and a shared kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped. We had a lot of rain during our visit but this didn't dampen our enthusiasm.

    Nothing, it was all very enjoyable.

    The setting is beautiful and very central for hiking in the mournes. The garden areas are very well kept and pleasant to sit in. The pod itself is spotless and comfortable. The outdoor area with the fire pit is great also. The kitchen area is great with your own space in the fridge and cupboards. The shower area and toilets are clean and well kept. The whole glamping experience was fantastic and we will absolutely be staying again. Amazing value for money.

    There wasn't anything not to like!

    We loved the location, scenery and the views immediately. Sitting outside at night watching the stars from our own little porch with a fire was a great end to the day. Our host Neil, was very lovely, welcoming and helpful from the start & throughout. The pods are compact and well put together, with only a short walk over to the kitchen, WC & shower facilities. All of these were fit for purpose, clean & spacious. We loved every minute of our stay!
