WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

TESTIMONIALS

"Incredibly helpful owners. Beautiful spot and very clean and well thought out facilities. We enjoyed a sauna and plunge pool experience and it was quiet and relaxing. A truly great stay!"

"It is a central bas to visit beautiful towns in Southern Ireland and set in beautiful quiet countryside - the sky was so clear at night I have never seen so many stars (breathtaking). There is an indoor cafe/food outlet on site, which served pizza, chips, burger, Greek food, hot drinks and alcohol open until about 8pm which was brilliant and made the stay even better. Hopefully we will visit Southern Ireland again and if so we would definitely stay at Moutain Forage Escapes."

"We had a fantastic weekend camping here! Amazing onsite restaurant from 9am -8pm on weekends with delicious breakfast and great coffee. Facilities were top notch, loads of warm showers. About 15 different nearby gorgeous beaches to choose from - we will be back to visit the ones we missed! Loads of space. Staff were incredible and so helpful."

I had the pleasure of staying for a night in this beautiful traditional Irish gypsy caravan, and it was such a lovely experience. The place is full of charm and so well managed—it truly feels like a peaceful escape into nature. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the stay even more special.

The facilities are impeccable and the food from the on-site restaurant was fantastic. We drove a few minutes to red strand beach and ad a great day. The only complaint we have is we wanted to stay longer but it was already booked out. Can't wait to come back again.

An idyllic get away in the mountain with a costal view. Conor and his family and staff that run the site are very accommodating and friendly. Big shout out for Chloe the chef, par excellence. Great food, great location, family friendly. 100%recommended.
