Glamping Sites in Portlaoise

Before going to Trish and Padraig's house. We were in a difficult situation. A rental car accident cut our vacation short. We no longer had a vehicle. My wife complained of pain under her ribs. We arrived from our previous accommodation by train to Portalington station. Padraig came to collect us and took us to Portlaoise Emergency Department. He helped us out to take the train, so that our trip was not completely ruined. Writing these lines and thinking about it brings tears to my eyes, Padraig was so great. The breakfast is excellent. Trish and Padraig offer us a choice between several options: from Irish Breakfast, to Irish porridge accompanied by a shot of whiskey, to very good pancakes (there is even a Vegan version), I forget two. We were in the Charly caravan which is nice for a family experience. This mode is not limited to the caravan, because a living room with sofas, coffe, tea, and a flat screen was available in the house. Our last night we stayed in their most beautiful room (Lea Castle Room). Spacious room for 4, the beds are comfortable and the bathroom is large. The meal that can be served in the evening is very good. I am French and gastronomy is our strong point. Even though the context was gloomy, we were able to spend our last three days in a very pleasant place and with very kind people. Many thanks to Trish, Padraig and their daughter.

This is a beautiful wee cabin over a pond just outside Portarlington. Gorgeous setting. Had everything we needed for a few days exploring County Laois. Great communication with the host, chocolates and wine on arrival. Perfectly appointed studio with adjoining bathroom / shower. Comfortable sofa bed, warm and cosy. Just a magical spot with birds outside the window in the morning.
