The online home of everything new and happening in Ireland’s greatest city

Less than one hour from Cork City, a family-friendly glamping destination has just unveiled a new overnight accommodation option… and it’s ideal for kids and couples alike.

The latest addition to the Mountain Forge family glamping site run by Conor and Bernadette Hegarty, a beautiful bell tent is now available to book from €110 per night.

The tent, which has two single beds and one double, is located on the scenic property in the village of Ardfield, just a four-minute drive from Clonakilty.

Here’s a little video tour inside:

If camping and even glamping are new to you, don’t worry; you won’t be roughing it at Mountain Forge. There’s a fully equipped communal kitchen with fridge, electric kettle, toaster, hob and oven as well as wet rooms with wheelchair accessibility for guests to use during their stay.

You won’t be short of things to do either; the surrounding area is sprinkled with ringforts, standing stones, mass rocks and holy wells to explore.

You can also ramble around the Mountain Forge grounds (look out for the old cartwheel jutting up out of the ground – this is where the blacksmiths once made their own horseshoes and horseshoe nails).

Guests can stroll to the village through a walkway from the site, passing a playground and tennis courts along the way.

Naturally, summer stays are booking up fast so check your dates on the booking page here.
