Burren Glamping
A Cosy Vintage Horse Truck on a Working Farm 🚛🐷
Burren Glamping is a truly one-of-a-kind eco-retreat located in the townland of Cahirminnaun, just 1.5 miles outside the historic village of Kilfenora (V95 D2PC). Founded by Eva and Stephen Hegarty, this award-winning destination features a creatively converted vintage horse truck that has been transformed into a bespoke, fully insulated holiday home.
In the heart of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, the truck provides a warm and nostalgic sanctuary complete with a wood-burning stove, electric shower, and flush toilet. As a guest on this small, sustainable farm, you’ll be surrounded by nature’s rhythm and a cast of friendly residents, including rare-breed Saddleback pigs, donkeys, and free-roaming hens. It is the perfect base for those who want to combine quirky accommodation with authentic Irish farm life and world-class hospitality.
Note: Burren Glamping also offers a “Luxury Garden Dome” for couples seeking a stargazing experience, located in a private corner of the property with panoramic views of the karst landscape.

FAQs about Burren Glamping
How many people can sleep in the horse truck?

Is the site pet-friendly?
Yes, pets are generally welcome at Burren Glamping. However, as it is a working farm with free-range pigs, cattle, and poultry, it is essential to notify the hosts in advance and ensure your pet is well-behaved around other animals.
