- Advertisement -

Today we head up North to have a look at what our neighbours have to offer for the summer time. There are some really quirky options. From a 140 year old farmhouse, to a 2.5 meter high hut, there should be something in there to fit everyone’s taste!

Cavan:

A 140-year-old Irish farmhouse nestled on a hill overlooking a famous pike fishing lake with the most beautiful views of the Irish countryside. A special sort of staycation for a big family this summer. Holding up to Eight guests and having Four Bedrooms, the whole family can make a fun trip to Cavan. If you’re a fan of the outdoors, this spot can facilitate your needs also because there are some amazing and scenic areas to fish and camp close by.

Donegal:

Sleepy Hut is a 2.5m high insulated wooden hut nestled within a peaceful woodland setting known as Sleepy Hollows. Surrounded by a haven of birdsong, river-walk only 300m from the front door, and just off the Wild Atlantic Way – a great base for exploring north-west County Donegal. This property would defiantly be recommended as a couple getaway, its petite and intimate yet modern and unique. With the vast amount of wild surrounding the location, its certainly one for the explorers.

Monaghan:

‘Granny’s Country Retreat’ has been lovingly restored to a high standard for a relaxing stay. Downstairs consists of a kitchenette, snug with a large L-shaped couch and bathroom with access to an outdoor patio. Upstairs in the loft is a double bed. There is an outdoor stove for when evening turns to night so you can stay nice and warm. A really nice modern twist on what would be quite old fashioned looking at first glance.

Armagh:

“The Meadow” is a quaint, rustic Shepherd’s Hut located in a meadow at Ballymartrim Wood. The hut features a double bed, wood burning stove, gas hob, storage space, solar lighting and a patio. There is a BBQ and fire pit and a toilet close by. This hut is for the explorers again who do not mind the outdoors. Ballymartrim Wood is located on an active farm so there are opportunities to experience farming life and engage in new activities. A minimal but quirky experience, a different sort of staycation.

Down:

‘Ruby’s Gypsy Caravan’ offers guests a unique experience of staying in a uniquely themed caravan which benefits from a range of modern-day luxuries. The quiet retreat countryside location is based outside of Hillsborough, Down. Close to the venues of Hillsborough Castle, Larchfield Estate and Montalto Estate, ideally suited for couples looking to create a memorable experience. Leave the madness of life behind and escape to silence.

The holiday pods sleep up to four people, It has one double bed and bunk beds. Located on a hilltop site overlooking the Ocean and Glenarm Estate. Another set of these new wave of pods popping up around Ireland. A relaxing, calm and next generation sort of staycation for the summer, as I said before, highly recommend.
