More of these days please. #Glamping #Travel #EcoLodge #BeautifulDestinations #

Yurts ordered - now where to position them!
Yurt's ordered and on their way. 🤗🤸 Now to decide where to position them...and where to place the windows and doors. After years of dreaming, musing and planning we're getting down to nitty gritty (giddy) details now! #Yurt #lake #idyllic #glamping #travel #beautifuldestination

Sunset splash-about
Sunset splashabout. Drenched by time we got in and minus a pair of socks!? Nature's playground involves a lot more clothes washing than the conventional ones. But a lot more fun. #Walks #WonderfulPlaces #Familyfriendly #Travel #WildAtlanticWay #Ireland
