The Details

Escape the everyday and hide away in your own luxury glamping cabin tucked deep in the woods or hire a cosy and quaint self-catering cottage that oozes rural charm. Each private retreat sleeps two guests, and they are all perfectly placed for sweeping views, roaming wildlife and total seclusion offering you your own little sanctuary in nature.

Enniskeen Estate & Forest Spa, in County Down, Northern Ireland, offers up three wonderful cabins and one cottage, which all sit close to the estate’s incredible forest spa.

First up is Kingfisher’s Residence and Doe’s Den. These two luxury glamping cabins have a similar design, offering breathtaking riverside and mountain views, surrounded by nature. Lie back with the window wide open and unwind to the gentle soundtrack of birdsong and the soft babble of the river. In the evenings, cosy up by the campfire or soak in your private wood-fired hot tub under the stars. Wake up in your super-comfy bed and take in the amazing views as you enjoy your first coffee of the day beneath the covers. The cabins also feature two lovely armchairs sat right in front of a picture window, offering a perfect vantage point from which to take in the view and local wildlife.

Your stay includes a private-gated orchard garden, ensuite shower room and all the comforts of a boutique retreat, including luxury five-star bed linens, fluffy spa robes, sustainable toiletries, a Nespresso machine and year-round cabin heating. Each morning, enjoy a fresh local organic breakfast hamper delivered straight to your door.

Perched high in the treetops, Dreamer’s Drey is a next-level luxury glamping dome designed for pure escape. With soft natural tones, a spacious interior and a luxuriously soft round bed, it’s the perfect place to unwind while gazing out over Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland’s highest peak. Curl up in your cosy drey and let the peaceful surroundings lull you to sleep. Your stay includes panoramic windows, a private wood-fired hot tub, outdoor garden stove, ensuite shower room, Nespresso machine and cabin heating for all-year comfort. Enjoy a fresh organic breakfast hamper each morning.

And last but not least is the marvellous Mountain Cottage. Step back in time at this beautifully restored mountain cottage perched in the High Mournes. Once the home of Paddy Grant, a local granite stonemason who emigrated to North America, this rustic retreat blends heritage with luxury. Lovingly rebuilt using local materials and traditional techniques, it’s a true nod to Irish craftsmanship.

Soak in the outdoor wood-fired hot tub under the stars, curl up by the open fire or take in breathtaking views from Ireland’s highest holiday cottage. Wake to sheep at your window and enjoy cosy comforts like underfloor heating and a copper roll-top bath.

Whichever accommodation you choose at Enniskeen Estate, be sure to book in a visit at the superb forest spa, with breathtaking views of Slieve Donard. Here, nature sets the pace, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply and truly unwind.

Step into your handcrafted Finnish wood-fired sauna, tucked beneath towering fir trees. Made from natural materials, the cabin radiates warmth and calm as the fire crackles and panoramic windows frame untouched views of Tollymore Valley. Keep an eye out for red squirrels - they love this spot too.

Between sauna sessions, refresh with a waterfall shower and revive your senses in the Riverstone foot spa on the forest-side relaxation terrace.

Go explore … whether hiking, cycling or simply soaking in the views, County Down offers the perfect mix of adventure and tranquility in one of Northern Ireland’s most stunning landscapes. On foot or hiring Enniskeen Estate’s electric bikes, discover charming villages, windswept beaches and rich heritage sites where the Mourne Mountains sweep down to the sea and forest trails wind through ancient woodland.
