  • Hi I know the accommodation only sleeps 2 but is it possible for book for 3 and 1 person sleep on the sofa.

    The Yurt has 2 double beds and so would sleep 4 with the green couch in the pictures not being used.

  • Is there a hob for cooking?

    No. However there is a ninja that can do pretty much anything. Pizza, dehydrate, whole roast, toast, grill, air fry, bake and reheat

In the heart of the countryside, but only 5 minutes drive to Loughrea, Moyleen is a memorable place to stay. The Yurt is a bespoke insulated tent with a dome, which makes the stay a lovely stay which will likely remember. The Eircode is H62F663
