Willowbrook Glamping & Hideaways

Alan Rogers Review of Willowbrook Glamping & Hideaways

Nestled in the north of County Roscommon, Willowbrook Glamping & Hideaways offers a serene retreat for those seeking a blend of nature and comfort. The fifteen touring pitches are spacious and well-maintained. These are split between 3 prices: Rabbit Village, which is ideal for small tents and campervans who don't require electricity; Robins Nest, which has powered pitches; and Mootown, which is suitable for larger motorhomes or small groups. The site has excellent facilities, including clean, well-maintained washrooms, hot showers, and a well-equipped kitchen area. The attention to detail in maintaining these facilities is evident throughout the site. The site has been in the family since the mid-90s, with Tuesday and Wes taking over from David and Lin in 2019. Since then, they have introduced a number of glamping options, including yurts, two of which have a wood-fired hot tub.

Willowbrook offers a range of activities for nature enthusiasts, from hiking with alpacas to canoeing or fishing in the River Lung (no permit required.) The friendly and knowledgeable owners can assist in planning activities, ensuring guests make the most of their stay. Weekend art classes can be arranged for children aged 4 to 12, and the Faerie Garden is a popular hangout for little campers.
