With Seachtain na Gaeilge just around the corner, there’s no better time to highlight the magic of Ireland’s Gaeltacht regions and the incredible places to stay while immersing in the language and culture.
Airbnb has curated a list of ‘guest favourites’, which feature unique and charming accommodations in Gaeltacht areas, with one Waterford getaway making the cut. Being declared as the perfect place to go for those looking to experience the heart of Ireland’s Irish-speaking communities, by clicking through these images you can see why!
It is not hard to see why Waterford's premium glamping pods, hosted by Padraig and Tracy on Airbnb, made the list, as each of their six pods are well equipped with a double bed, double sofa bed, TV, tea/coffee making facilities, a bathroom and shower and even private deck area.
Also onsite is a shared communal space that has multiple full kitchen facilities, extra showers and bathrooms, a dining area, lounge and a deck where you can enjoy the river passing through the site, with wonderful views of the majestic Comeragh Mountains. There is also a hot tub for guests to enjoy!
Derek Nolan, Head of Public Policy for Ireland at Airbnb, said, “Whether you're a fluent speaker or just starting your journey with the Irish language, these Airbnb stays provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable Seachtain na Gaeilge. Our list of Airbnb ‘guest favourites’ stays in the Gaeltacht regions around the country enables everyone to embrace the opportunity to connect with local communities, participate in traditional activities, and celebrate our native tongue.”
