Do You Really Want To Yurt Me?

Get in… Beach House FRI4AUG23

t was back in May 2021 that we first spoke to the two bright sparks behind Greystones’ first-ever glamping site.

James Connolly from Tinakilly House had the know-how and experience; John Byrne from The Beach House had the perfect plot of seaside grass.

And the looks, of course.

Even Wicklow Planning knew it was a very fine idea indeed, giving Greystones Glamping the thumbs up one month later, in June 2021, no doubt having recognised that such luxurious accommodation would once again provide people with somewhere fancy-pants to stay in this town after The La Touche Hotel sadly shut its doors on May 22nd, 2005.

That makes it 18 years since Greystones last had an actual hotel. Yowsa.

Which made the official opening of the Greystones Glamping site down at the harbour – a mere two years and three months after that initial idea – a very happy one, this welcome addition to the town meaning that we no longer have to put up with annoying relatives or pushy visitors squatting in the spare room.

These chic bell tents are on raised decks and come complete with not only your own private bathroom and king-sized bed but heaters, electric blankets and a free arty, hearty breakfast at La Crêperie Pierre Grise next door.

Huzzah!

Add to that the fact that you’re right at the seafront in Greystones, surrounded by The Beach House, the harbour, that Sunday Plaza Market, Sweeney’s chipper, The Waffler and The Boat Yard, and sure, it’s enough to make you think that camping isn’t just for fools after all.

There are 5 bell tents in total, and it’s a self check-in glamp site, details and booking right here. And you can find out what’s going on around here for your stay here agus here.
