  • Remote Co. Antrim glamping pods with views over Murlough Bay
  • A 10-minute drive to Ballycastle; 35 minutes to Giant's Causeway
  • Self-contained pods with ensuite bathroom and firepit provided
There are lots of great attractions to draw you to the north Antrim coast – the Giant’s Causeway, Bushmills, Rathlin Island, the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge… and the lovely accommodation at Fairhead Glamping Pods, in a rural location close to the coast about 10 minutes’ drive from Ballycastle. This is a scenic spot indeed, looking out over Murlough Bay (with glimpses of Scotland in the distance on a clear day) and with lake views from each pod. It’s all part of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there are lots of lovely walks nearby – both along the coast and inland. Getting out and about to all those famed attractions should be straightforward from here – ferries leave for Rathlin Island from Ballycastle, and the Giant’s Causeway is a little over half an hour’s drive away. Ballycastle is also a handy source of shops and places to eat. Back at base, you’ll be staying in a cosy self-contained pod that’s got its own ensuite bathroom and kitchenette (with a fridge, kettle, toaster and all sorts of crockery and utensils). To make life nice and easy, beds are made up, towels are provided and there are various handy extras including heating and wifi. Outside, each pod has a balcony that’s angled towards the lovely lake view, with seating and a barbecue/firepit to help you make the most of your time spent out there. For the comfort of all guests, the whole site is non smoking and the needs of guests with allergies can be accommodated.
