What are some of the top glamping spots in Northern Ireland?

If you enjoy the excitement of traditional camping but are looking for a more glamorous option, glamping is for you. And Northern Ireland has the perfect spots to do so.

Forest Hideaway
When it comes to glamping, Finn Lough Forest Hideaway in County Fermanagh really put the emphasis on luxury with amazing bubble domes that allow you to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape by day, and the stars by night. Order breakfast right to your door, go kayaking on the lake, unwind at the forest spa, or take a taste tour of the polytunnel and learn about the local food. It’s one of a kind.

Pebble Pods
Pebble Pods is just the ticket for enjoying an adventure-based glamping break in Strangford Lough. This large sea loch is a natural wonderland, and boasts lots of watersports from kayaking to scuba-diving. The pods are located just on the tranquil shores of the lough and boast large beds, a private hot tub, sauna, fire pit, and even kayak and paddleboards to rent.

Water World
Watersport enthusiasts will love Let’s Go Hydro just outside Belfast. Guests can choose from a whole range of accommodation including huts and house boats, tents and pods, domes and cottages. Right on your doorstep, there’s a ton of activities to enjoy too, including wakeboarding lessons and an aqua park. Brave the cold with a bit of open-water swimming or take in the gorgeous natural surrounding with a stroll around the Forest Trail.

Further Space Pods
Named as one of the top 10 places to stay by the Irish Independent newspaper, these super-cool pods are located just 10 minutes from the gorgeous Glenarm Castle Estate. Not only that, but they’re incredibly comfortable, and offer beautiful views of the Antrim countryside through their spacious viewing window. There’s lots to explore further afield, but right on the doorstep you can enjoy a charming Tea Room, the Castle Shop and Shambles workshop. Gorgeous.

Fine farms
Want to experience farm life properly? Well Thornfield Farm on the gorgeous north coast is the place to head. This beautiful working farm is close to many tourist hotspots, including the Giant’s Causeway, Bushmills Distillery and the Dark Hedges. Have a go at feeding the hens and visit the baby lambs, before exploring the incredible landmarks of this amazing coastline.
