Acorn Wood Glamping
Acorn Wood Glamping is a charming glampsite that gives you the experience of the outdoors with the home comforts that glamping has to offer. Glamping is the new luxury (glamorous) camping trend and is for those who love to be outdoors but still like to travel in style.
The glampsite is set against a backdrop of oak trees, a trickling stream and the majestic mountain of Croagh Patrick. Acorn Wood offers an escape from the traffic, the noise and busyness of everyday life to spend some time getting closer to nature and to sleep under the stars.
Forget the sleeping bags, the tent pegs and the sore bones that tend to accompany sleeping on hard bumpy ground. Instead, enjoy the outdoors, catch a sunrise or watch a sunset and enjoy the sounds of nature or children’s laughter while having the comfort of your own bed in one of our cosy cabins. Acorn Wood gives you the chance to make memories, to sit by the fire, relax and unwind in the fresh air and to laugh with family and friends.
If your family includes children, they will enjoy making new friends, playing cards, running around in the open spaces , rolling in the grass, toasting marshmallows and falling asleep while being cuddled by the campfire. Give your kids the chance to experience some of the simple things life has to offer, some of the fun that you enjoyed as a kid. Kids don’t remember their best day of television but they will remember their time in Acorn Wood.
Enjoy the natural surroundings while still having the comfort of your own cosy bed.

The site has everything you could need for the perfect glamping experience, each cabin/tent is finished to the highest standard with lots of personal touches around the site. We stayed in the Willow Bell tent and all 6 of us fitted very comfortably, we also had our own cooking area and picnic bench on our decking.The kids really enjoyed toasting marshmallows with the other families at the communal area. If you are looking to stay somewhere with difference in Westport this is the place for you! Thanks Ed and Fiona for a fantastic experience!”
“This was our first time glamping as a family and I was nervous about it but I needn’t have worried because Ed and Fiona have everything covered to make sure it was a memorable stay! We stayed for 3 nights in the Blackthorn Cabin and our kids were disappointed that we didn’t stay for more. The beds are comfy, the cabin was warm, the cooking facilities are perfect and the showers are modern and spotless. Our kids enjoyed the freedom to explore and loved meeting the other families as we gathered around the campfire. The site itself is in a beautiful setting and there is a magical atmosphere when it is all lit up at night. Thanks Ed and Fiona for a great stay – we’ll be back!”
“Fabulous place, great views. We stayed in the blackthorn cabin. Very comfy. My 6 and 7 year old absolutely loved it. Everything was spotlessly clean. Great craic around the communal camp fire at night. And you couldn’t meet nicer hosts, Fiona and Eddy thank you guys so much. We had a great time. We’ll be back. Keep up the good work x.”
“Absolutely Love it here! Clean, beautiful & excellent nature to rejuvenate the soul and most of all a very friendly and kind host! On the practical side, well equipped kitchen, clean toilets and showers, an excellent choice to break away from city life. Thank you Fiona.”
