Further Space Leitrim Lodge, Mourne Mountains Lodging Business in Newry

Reviews

1. Ciaran Mcmanus ★★★★☆

   Overall we had a great time at the Leitrim Lodges. The pods were impeccable and we really enjoyed them. The communication with Further Space needs to be improved however. Our pictures include items we purchased ourselves in the local shop and were not included in our stay. We inquired about the Smores option with the host firstly who directed us to Further Space who then directed us to the payment team which was frustrating. We were then told the "Firepit Experience" was included in our booking so when we arrived we expected Smores in our pod ready to be made but there was nothing there. When we rang we were told the "Firepit Experience" was not Smores but was logs and firestarters. That was fine so we arranged our own DIY smores but the "Firepit Experience" that was included in our booking never arrived. Luckily we brought our own logs. Overall we enjoyed our stay but Further Space need to improve their booking process. If I speak to someone in Further Space team I should be able to book extras directly with them rather than be directed to a separate team and wait for emails or callbacks. I would advise that they are up to date with their offerings as well as we wanted the "Breakfast Experience" but it was not being offered anymore.

   Third stay at a Further Space location and the worst of the three. Leitrim Lodge sits in the middle of countryside fields, between the area's two "main roads." Our experience was quite bad compared to other locations; Leitrim Lodge had a massive amount of flies and mosquitos to the point we could not spend more than 5/10 minutes outside the pod; at the same time, as the pods are under direct sunlight, the room temperature was relatively high, and despite the provided fan it took a good 3/4 hours to cool the air down to an acceptable level. Looking at the interiors of the pods, there were in line with other locations except for the floors that had what looked like grass left by a previous occupant. We requested both the BBQ and Fire Pit option. The BBQ was nice and clean; however, the charcoal load did not seem worth the £10 cost; the fire pit was ok-ish. Unfortunately, the fire pit was steel and not the brick fire pit we experienced in other locations. Lastly, the outdoor dining area was made of a table and fixed benches, making it impossible to have dinner together if you're more than 2. There is almost no mobile coverage or wifi, and while some people may like to disconnect, we are in 2023. Overall, not a recommended location. There are better places as part of the Further Space portfolio.

   We have stayed in quite a few of the further space pods now so knew exactly what to expect 're the accommodation, perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids as they have bunk beds in a separate room for the children. Well equipped for a very comfortable stay. The location for these particular pods is stunning, peaceful and with lovely views. The site is clean and the hosts were really lovely. Lots of walks without having to drive anywhere. We'll be back to this site for sure.

   We enjoyed a really nice one night stay in the Rocky Mountain pod. Self service check-in from 3pm. Pods a very clean and view is beautiful. If hiking hen Mountain area the car park is about about a mile down the road.

   Just a great way to spend an evening. Secluded enough you feel like you're far away, but not too far from the town. Cabins are excellent. Well insulated so you hear no noise and warm enough in the night. Good amenities and a very comfy bed. 2 very happy glampers

   We booked one night in Leitrim lodge, it was such a lovely experience and everything we needed. We added packages that were waiting for us in the fridge, breakfast delivered to our door in the morning. The bed was so comfortable and the pod was very clean. Was a lovely break away from reality. Cooking our dinner on the bbq and enjoying wine around the camp fire. Would definitely come back.

   Fantastic place and really unusual, something completely different! No Wi-Fi, no 3G, just peace and quiet! Beautiful and comfortable pods and a lovely friendly family running the facilities. The walks into the mountains are spectacular. A must do!!
