Glamping

Tepee Valley is a small, quiet glamping site run by the Gilmore family on a working farm in the hills above the Cusher River, about five minutes from Markethill. The field looks over patchwork farmland towards Slieve Gullion. Kenny built some of the accommodation himself, including the shepherd's hut and Abram's House, a cottage-style unit modelled on a local 1890s dwelling, which has a roll-top bath and an optional wood-fired hot tub.

The current bookable units are Abram's House and the Meadow Studio, an en-suite unit with its own kitchen and fire pit. A log cabin, gypsy caravan, shepherd's hut, yurt, dome and tepee are on the site but listed as unavailable at the moment, so check before planning around them. There is a communal kitchen with a gas cooker, plenty of space for children to run about but no play park, and no WiFi, though mobile coverage is generally fine. Dogs are not accepted, and it is run as a peaceful place with no parties or amplified music.
