Glamping in the Mourne Mountains

Long gone are the days of having to erect a complicated tent with flimsy poles, battling the elements, whilst everyone else sits in the car until their temporary home is ready for the night. Thanks to the invention of ‘glamping’ a family of four can enjoy two nights amidst the spectacular views of the Mourne Mountains for only £88. Carrick-Little Glamping offers kitchen facilities and bathrooms on site, all you need to make the most of this incredible location is a fridge full of food to keep you going after long walks exploring the mountains.

Air bnb has revolutionised the way we book holidays. No longer relying on hotels and third party travel agents, travellers can look at Airbnb, which means locals can rent out their homes at budget conscious prices. Two nights in the 3 bedroomed Pyper Row Cottage, Ballymoney, just a stone’s throw away from the iconic North Coast will cost £100 and can sleep up to 7 (for an extra cost). The house comes with a luxurious roll-top bath and and en-suite master bedroom, meaning everyone can take some time out to relax during their holidays.
