ABOUT US

FAMILY RUN

We are the fifth generation of Elliotts to farm the lands here at Tonagh House.

As a family run farm, we have always tried to farm commercially but in an environmentally sensitive manner.

This will become obvious the moment you enter our farm. Our fields are green and bountiful, home mostly to cattle.

PEACEFUL & SECLUDED

However our fields remain small and bounded by ecologically diverse sprawling hedgerows interspersed with mature oak, ash and sycamore trees.

These hedgerows provide safe wildlife corridors for the hares, rabbits, pheasants and many other species seen regularly in our fields. 

Many visitors to our farm have commented on how peaceful and secluded our farmland is.

GREAT FACILITIES

Having brought our own family Glamping a few times in recent years to their great enjoyment we decided to share our farms peace and tranquility for others to enjoy .

Also we feel our experience of visiting other Glamping sites has helped us provide facilities that are second to none.

FAMILY FRIENDLY

Being enclosed means our site is particularly suited to families as all facilities are within the boundary of the old garden and farmyard so parents can relax in the knowledge that smaller children cannot stray too far.

We are proud to have no steps anywhere to accommodate the young and the less agile.

WELLNESS WALK

A unique part of developing our Glampsite involved the construction of a “wellness walk” which is a 1.5km securely fenced path through 100 acres of our farm. You will wander by groups of contented grazing cattle on one side and forestry on the other.

Depending on the time of day you are likely to see swans floating majestically along the Tonagh River and hares frolicking in the pastures not to mention the many wild birds that frequent the quiet stillness.

REMOTE & TRANQUIL

Due to its remote location there are neither houses nor roads visible from the path, which makes for a tranquil stroll or even a quick jog for those who wish for a quicker pace.

FACILITIES

GLAMPER'S KITCHEN

The centre piece of our communal block, it is a room large enough for groups like birthday parties, hen nights etc. to congregate yet cosy enough..

Great facilities ☺ Really enjoyed our time at Glasson Glamping, hope to return again in the summer! It was a great place for our group to meet up and had lots of facilities (fire, pizza oven, pool table and table tennis table) to keep us occupied in the rain.

Will be back! Stayed here in cold rainy October and had the most fantastic time. Hot tub was a brilliant addition even on the cold night! The accommodation was well heated and beds were very comfortable. Adrian was so accommodating and helpful with any request we had. Great set up with the pizza ovens/cooking and showering facilities. Would definitely recommend for a night or two stay.

More than a pleasant surprise! First of all, let me tell you I am not "a glamper"! Far from it, if truth be known. The only reason I ended up staying here was because of Daisy, our little dog as we couldn't find any other accommodation that accepted dogs. Whilst my sister, brother in law and their little girl checked into their lovely nearby hotel, myself, my little girl and I apprehensively put Glasson Glamping Farm into Google Maps. Although the site is only a couple of miles from the lovely little village of Glasson, the narrow winding roads make it feel a lot longer the first time you drive. And what a fantastic surprise we were met with at the end of a lane! We stayed in the Lavender Wagon, which is a retro style caravan with a converted horsebox divided in 2 to accommodate a small kitchen and bathroom. Everything was spotless and the caravan comfortable. There was only 2 of us and Daisy, but the caravan would sleep 4 comfortably. There was also a kitchen to share and a very comfortable seating area in front of a roaring stove. The games room for the kids is better than I have seen in 4* hotels and provided endless entertainment for my little girl who met up with other kids on the site. Each little pitch has its own pit for a fire to roast marshmallows which is great for the kids and adults to sit around and chill with a beer. Loved this place, its small, feels very safe and is spotlessly clean. The owners are very hands on and helpful too. From chatting to seasoned "glampers" there, this is 5* glamping. Definitely worth a visit.

Big Red Bus Myself, 70 year old mum, 5 and 3 year old boys stayed here last week. Fantastic experience, very relaxed, comfortable beds, all facilities you could think of and more there for your convenience. Toilet and mini kitchen on bus. All other facilities right beside and very clean. Games room fantastic for children. Really safe area for children to roam under supervision. Beautiful views. Although very rural only 5 mins drive from glasson village with restaurants and large centra shop. 25 minutes from athlone. The place is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The host Adrian attends regularly to check everyone all ok and offer advice if needed but is by no means intrusive. Only downside was that we hadn't booked to stay for longer. My son tells Me we are staying in the green bus next time.

Fantastic experience My partner and I booked a night in the Shepards Hut after a few nights of roughing it out in the wind and rain in Donegal and in desperate need of a good night's sleep before heading back to Wexford. The accommodation was spacious, quirky, clean, and had everything you'd need. Bed was extremely comfortable and warm, and the outdoor area adjacent to our room was expectional! Our private toilet facility was perfect, with great washrooms just a stones throw from the accommodation. The sun finally shone and we had such a relaxing time by the fire pit reading our books (made even better by the lake views and quiet surroundings!)Adrian and Co were extremely friendly and checked that we had everything we needed. It is wonderful for individuals, couples, and families, and has a fantastic games room. Very obvious that a lot of work and love has gone into the site, and will definitely be back again!

Exceeded all expectations Spent a night at Glasson glamping farm for a hen party last week and I could not get over how lovely it was. The buses were so quirky and well thought-out, with every little detail considered. The apartment was light and spacious, the outdoor area was gorgeous, as was the spacious barn and cosy parlour behind it. The owners were friendly and helpful at every possible point without being over-bearing and we were given a lot of freedom to decorate within obvious common-sense rules.We used the barbecue, kitchenette, pizza oven, pool table and karaoke machine and all were great fun. I really couldn't get over how gorgeous this place was, and the price was very reasonable if not under-cutting themselves for the quality of the place. We didn't use the hot tub but can easily see myself returning here with family or friends for a relaxing break again. The entire place was spotless bar the issue of dead flies in the outdoor area, which is unavoidable at this time of year. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fantastic stay We stayed for 2 nights on the green bus, with our two young children. The bus is spacious, and well equipped and very comfortable to stay in. The setting of the campground is beautiful. We loved the space for our children to run around safely, and the games room was a great amenity. We used all facilities over our 2 day stay - bbq, pizza oven and showers. Everything was spotless and in perfect working order. The outdoor patio area is covered and the perfect place for the adults to relax by the fire in the evenings!! The owner Adrian is very friendly and full of local knowledge. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for somewhere different to chill with their family. There is also lots to do in the vicinity. We visited Glendeer pet farm and Lough Boora discovery park, and both were great!We had a fantastic stay here and will most definitely be back!

A little bit of heaven. Myself and my partner stayed in the Lakeview apartment with our 3 year old son who is autistic. He is full of energy so the farm was perfect for him. It's so safe for children and the children's facilities are fantastic.It is so peaceful and tranquil. So relaxing. The facilities are second to none. The outdoor kitchen is fantastic. I honestly can't fault it and we can't wait to return.Adrian, the owner, is so nice and friendly and made us feel very welcome and comfortable.

Glassen Glamping was a wonderful family experience. We stayed in the Lakeview apartment which was great as we had our own kitchen facilities and bathroom. There was a lovely stove fire in the apartment which is handy to warm the place up on a cold evening. The games room for the children was well equipped and utilised by them. The walk to see the donkeys and the chickens were a great attraction for the kids. The outside facilities were also great for cooking and sitting by a stove with no shortage of timber. I would definitely recommend Glassen Glamping for a fun family holiday. I must say the hospitality from the owner went along way , we enjoyed Adrian's company in the evening and getting to know more about the area. 5/5 for hospitality.

Highly recommend. This was our 8th year going Glamping and we start somewhere different every year. We stayed in the red bus and the facilities are like nothing we have had before. There was even a usb charging port in the bus. There is a bathroom on the bus, your own fridge kettle, large sitting area inside. Very comfortable beds. Huge games room on site for kids with table tennis, pool table. Comfy outdoor sitting area with stove. Loads of great activities near by. The owner is very nice and was very helpful. We will definitely go back.
