Gallery Space
The campers kitchen doubles as a sort of mini art gallery with artworks created by numerous talented local artists on display all over the walls. All artworks on display are for sale, so if you see something you like, why not take it home with you. We are big fans of all sorts of artistic and creative endevours and this idea is founded on our love of the arts and an urge to support local artists in whatever way we can. Willowbrook does not take a commission on sales of artwork so 100% of the cost of any artwork goes directly to the artist.

The ‘facilities’
We have a toilet block which includes ladies and gents toilets as well as 4 shower cubicles. One of the things that your host Tuesday hates the most is a blank wall. She has got her teeth into our shower block and used books, newspapers, and various bits of memorabilia collected over years of travelling to turn the walls of the toilet block into her own bespoke artwork.

Fishing
A short walk to the end of our glamping park will take you to the bank of the river Lung, where many fishermen & women have spent many hours and caught many fish. We do not provide fishing gear but you are very welcome to bring your own. Pike, Perch and Roach are the most commonly found fish along this stretch of the river. Trout have been known to appear also but they have been less common. No permit is required to fish on the river Lung, and there is no charge for guests to access our 230m stretch along the river bank.

Kayaking / SUP
We are blessed to have the beautiful river lung as our southern boundary here at willowbrook. Those of you who have your own kayaks or stand-up-paddleboards are welcome to enter the river from our banks and have a paddle up or down stream. It is a gentle slow-flowing river so not suitable for those seeking to ride the rapids, but if a leisurely paddle is what you are after then the lung is perfect. The lake is unfortunately out of bounds for kayaks and SUPs. If you don’t have your own gear, we highly recommend a kayak tour on nearby Lough Gara with PMacs kayaks. More info on that in the Things to do nearby page.

Inspiration & Relaxation
The natural beauty of this part of Ireland is what drew Tuesday’s parents to this site back in the mid 1990’s, and the work they have done to the site over the years has created something truly stunning. A walk by the river, a sit down in a quiet spot amongst the trees, or spending some time at the Japanese tea house overlooking our little lake is enough for most to find peace and serenity. Our site has been very popular with artists, writers, and other creatives over the years, with those so inclined immersing themselves in the landscape to help to achieve that creative flow that we all seek.
