About this property

Luxury safari tent sleeps 6. Wild Atlantic Way Connemara near beach/Aran Islands

If you would like to camp but want a proper bed then An Dreolin is for you. Suitable for couples, friends and families with children 8 and over. We offer glamping for softies under canvas in spacious safari tents (11m x 5.4m) but with all the comforts of home and room to all spread out. Our four tents each have 3 bedrooms and sleep up to 6 adults in comfort (our bunk beds are 4ft wide). All tents have en-suite bathrooms and 3 bedrooms with hotel quality beds, linens, towels and electric blankets. Each tent has its own living/dining room and kitchen area with 2 ring induction hob, and fridge freezer. Sit back and relax on your verandah with a glass of something chilled and enjoy the distant sea views. There are USB points in each tent to charge your devices.

Our four safari tents at Connemara Glamping are all internally the same and are named after local birds which you may see around depending on the time of year. An Dreolin (Wren) is named after the small birds who nest in the stone walls which surround the site.

We are in the perfect location in the heart of Irish culture. Irish is the first language here in South Connemara. We have lots of outdoor space, and a communal fire pit for star gazing nights. We are a short walk to a safe, sandy beach - take our portable BBQ and cook dinner to the sound of lapping waves. We have great walks and on-road cycling. There are off road cycling trails, fishing and golf courses within a short drive. We are less than 5 minutes drive to the ferries or plane to the Aran Islands (a 7 minute flight). Our local cafe, Pota, is Ireland's top cafe for 2022 and made the Irish Independent's Top100 Restaurants in Ireland.
Come and explore - there's too much to do to list here but it's less stressful to stay in one place and have days out. We are in the perfect location for day trips into Connemara, or the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. Kylemore Abbey, Patrick Pearse's cottage, Connemara National Park, Clifden and the Sky Road, Killary Fijord, Cong, and Ashford Castle can be combined to make several days out. If you fancy a beach then a trip to Roundstone and Dog's Bay is in order. In the other direction Galway with its restaurants, festivals, bars and live music is a 35-40 minute drive. You can organise an electric bike tour for your group from the site with Fat Bike for a slower experience.
There's something for everyone - from romantic breaks way, to groups of adult friends and families. We're always happy to give you some ideas for an itinerary or try and help you source whatever you need.
During your stay at this lodge, you're just a quick walk from Lough Nagravin.
  • Within a 15-minute walk of Lough Nagravin and Loughauneveen

Clamping at Connemara
We LOVED the whole concept of glamping…. It was a fun experience and would definitely try it again. The Hostess was just lovely and very helpful with all of our queries. A ‘gift’ of lemon cake was much appreciated. This was an adventure beyond our expectations…. For campers looking for a little more comfort, or to try camping, this is the place.

Glamping with ALL mod cons
Beautiful, huge safari tent with everything you could need. No navigating to a bathroom in the middle of the night, or juggling charging devices. Janet was so helpful from start to finish and even with more than our fair share of rain Connemara was absolutely spectacular.

Countryside glamping
The property and tent were absolutely lovely. My guests and I were astounded by the setup and surrounding area. We only wished we could have spent more time at this location! It was a bit hard to find the address at first but the host was able to help us right away over the phone. Depending on the time of year, it was very cold in the evening so extra clothes are suggested! Additionally, it was very dark in the tent after sundown so being prepared with a lantern couldn't hurt. Overall, it was a very unique and exciting experience in such a gorgeous place!

Most beautiful place with the friendliest owners
The site was absolutely amazing. The owners could not have been friendlier. When we arrived to our tent, there was a lemon cake that the owner made for us waiting on the table. The tents are complete with heated blankets and rustic, light-up bottles in every room. The tent could not have been cleaner. The site was complete with a fire pit and adorable common room. We absolutely love it!

Un confort exquis !
Le descriptif que j'avais fait à ma famille avant de venir l'avait rendue perplexe ! dormir sous une tente incluant une salle de bains, pour le prix d'un gîte, avait de quoi les intriguer ! Ils n'ont pas été déçus du séjour ! Toute la famille a adoré ! Ce que nous avons le plus aimé, c'est nous glisser dans les draps confortables avec le molleton chauffant, alors qu'un soir nous avons eu une grosse pluie avec pas mal de vent, c'était un régal d'être dans le confort douillet tout en sentant la petite tempête qui sévissait juste à côté de la toile ! il pouvait faire 14°C dehors, et pourtant nous étions tellement bien !! Nos hôtes Michael et Jane ont été prévenants. Le Wi-Fi était puissant. Bref, nous recommandons chaudement cette expérience !
