Mayo Glamping

Ballyvary, County Mayo, Connacht

Hobbit huts, Nordic cabins, a railway carriage and a wheelhouse, near Castlebar.

Why we love it

The inventory is the appeal: hobbit huts dug into the ground, Nordic cabins, A-frames, a railway carriage, and a converted wheelhouse called the Boatel. It could easily have tipped into theme-park territory and mostly does not, because the site is small and owner-run and the shared parts — wood-fired hot tub, sauna, fire pits, communal kitchen — are where people actually end up.

Dogs are welcome in the A-frames. Castlebar is close, and Mayo's coast is an easy drive.

Best for: a group who cannot agree what they want to sleep in
