Cabin holidays are all the rage in Ireland right now, whether it’s a break in the immersive Wild Rooms in County Wexford, the new Drumhierny Woodland Hideaway in County Leitrim, or in one of the huge number of cool, cosy and quirky timber buildings that have been added to the island’s country estates, glamping sites and hotel grounds.
Cabu by the Lakes is another destination worth considering. This amazing cabin resort is scattered throughout the woodlands and lakes of Killykeen Forest Park in County Cavan and is among the country’s most sophisticated cabin escapes. The accommodation ranges from intimate one-bedroom cabins to three-bedroom boathouses within a private 100-acre site offering a calming oasis where you can totally unwind.
The beautifully crafted cabins feature open plan living, stylish furnishings, smart TVs, al fresco dining and warming wood burners. Guests can also take advantage of a fully licensed communal chill-out area with a delicious all day food concept, giant wood burner, games, music and hot tubs. Walks, bike rides and forest bathing will help you pair your escapism with adventure.
In the lakelands of County Fermanagh the private island of Lusty Beg offers a series of lodges and chalets designed to encourage a relaxed and leisurely stay. With space, scenery and comfort in abundance, all you’ll need to do is kick back your heels and relax.
Or maybe head to Clover Cabin Escape, a luxury self-catering log cabin hidden away in the tranquillity of the County Kilkenny countryside. Inside this one, you'll find everything you need for an unforgettable stay, including beds for up to six, a fully equipped kitchen and lots of private outdoor space.
