Neil O2024-08-27 Marshmallows toasting on an open fire! We stayed in a cabin as a family of six for two nights as a last minute getaway before heading back to school. We had a brilliant stay, and as on our last occcasion here seven years previously, the kindness and enthusiasm of our hosts has made a lasting impression. Dick made sure to stock up the fire pit and encouraged us to light it even though we were the only family staying on the second night. It was magical, a real highlight for the kids. He made such an effort to get to know us, including the children, it made the visit all the more personal and enjoyable. The shared bathroom and kitchen facilities are excellent and spotlessly maintained. It can get pretty expensive holidaying with a large(ish) family and Dick and Liz provide a very attractive and affordable package. The site is a very short walk from supermarket, shops, pubs and restaurants. Activity-wise, the town has lots to offer: the Workhouse Museum, archaeological ruins, great walking routes, cycling, swimming, kayaking in Lough Derg to name a few. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Podumna. Lollybren2024-08-06 Highly recommend. Excellent Glamping Site. Stayed in Podumna Village with our 2 girls and I cannot recommend it enough. The place is gorgeous and very magical to young children. The site and pods were clean and well maintained and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Dick and Liz are a fantastic couple and you can feel their positivity and enthusiasm for their unique glamping site. It was our first time experiencing communal bathrooms and kitchen/dining areas and we thought it was brilliant. Overall we had a great experience. Would recommend 2 nights to explore all Portumna has to offer and to soak in the laid back atmosphere of Podumna. We will be back! SWal162024-07-30 Fantastic urban glamping! We stayed here for one night with our two young children and we had such a fab time. Liz and Dick were so lovely and accommodating. We arrived very early and they let us check in early. The pod was spotless, and so spacious. The whole campsite was just gorgeous, you feel like you are in a different world when you walk through the gates. The facilities are excellent, they have a kitchen stocked with everything and anything you could possibly need. I am always a bit hesitant when booking somewhere with shared toilets, but there are a couple of bathrooms here and they were all spotless. The location is also fantastic, as the campsite is right in the middle of the town, so we were able to walk up to the playground, the castle, the marina and to the local chipper for our dinner. They also have a couple of furry friends, some rabbits and guinea pigs which our two smallies were very interested in! Overall a really gorgeous place to stay, you can feel how much love and effort that Liz and Dick put into the place. They are fantastic hosts. I will be recommending Podumna! Derek2024-07-06 Amazing Place for couples , families or group bookings Amazing place, myself & my family have stayed here on many occasions over the past 7 years. The pods are amazing, very comfortable and has everything you need . Great outdoor seating areas and large kitchen for self catering , spotless bathrooms and showering facilities, bicycle hire, firepits for night time with the kids to roast marshmallows or relax with a drink all the while close to everything in beautiful Portumna. The owners Dick & Liz are the kindest and most helpful people I have ever met , nothing is too much trouble for them to make your stay as enjoyable as possible . We will be returning for many years to come . Orla C2024-07-04 The best hosts with the best pods! I recently had my hen party in Podumna Village. The moment I arrived, I was greeted by Dick & Liz, our hosts for the weekend. They were friendly and inviting and they really went above and beyond along with their great staff to cater for us. The pods were spotless clean along with showers and bathrooms. There is not one thing I could fault about Podumna Village, it was a truly magical weekend from start to finish and would highly recommend it for family weekends away or large parties. There is a fabulous vibe about the place and this is all down to the hosts & staff. Margaret H2024-04-22 Fabulous Place to Stay Just back from a Hen's weekend, this is a fantastic place to stay, the rooms, food, music n craic was second to none. Thanks Dick, Liz and his brilliant staff for looking after us all so much. We were so close to everything. We honestly could not have asked for anymore. deniseomahony2024-04-10 Superb ladies weekend at PodUmna Village Booked PodUmna Village for a very large group of mature ladies, on the recommendation of a friend, & I can only describe every aspect as superb. Our lovely hosts and their staff went above & beyond to cater for any whim, accomodation was spotless & cosy even through poor weather. A truly unique experience, central to local shops, pubs and amenities. I am looking forward to a return family trip. Anonymous2024-03-04 Wonderful Stay and even nicer people *What a great place and even nicer people* I was there for two nights on my friends Hen this weekend. It was there first weekend open for 2024! Dick , Liz and all the staff at Podumna went above and beyond for us , they made us feel so welcome from the minute we landed ,the attention to detail and nothing was too much to ask for- the simple touches , like a hot water bottle before going back to your cabin or the arranged lift to the local pub, it was all wonderful. I would highly recommend Podumna for anyone thinking of going glamping for a Hen. Everything from start to finish was fantastic. Thank you Dick, Liz and all the staff.. Niamh :) Phelim O Connor2023-08-23 Great Pod Camping spot in one of the hidden Gems of Ireland Went last week with my family and a gang of our friends and families, this place was just fantastic, just a brilliantly relaxing set up pod camping experience. Pods were great, clean and very cosy. Facilities such as toilets, showers and dining area were immaculate, a fantastic communal kitchen that could cater for an entire army. A lovely sheltered outdoor seating area for chilling in the evenings. Campsite is basically in the town centre, but you'd never think it while in the campsite, its so quiet, very handy for getting supplies literally 2 minutes down the road. Portumna is a great little town too, very relaxed and the people are very friendly and down to earth. Lots to see and do nearby, the castle, lake, forest park, this campsite is also a fantastic relaxing base to venture into other places like Galway city, 50 minutes away when we went last Saturday by car. This place is just a really great relaxing fun experience especially for groups that want to book together like we did. The owners are really really lovely people and were very helpful. I can't wait to go back! Claire B2023-08-18 Magic family memories! I stayed in podumna with my husband & two boys. I could not fault it if I tried. Liz Dick & there lovely daughter could not have been more welcoming & local knowledge hints & tips on where to go & what to do were so helpful. The pod itself was cosy & spotless. The communal kitchen was incredibly well equipped. We got lucky & met 2 other lovely families with kids the same age, toasted marshmallows, swam in the lake went to curleys local pub for trad music & a pint. 2 days was not long enough we will be back & rent the family bikes next time. Loved it!Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 442 reviews
