The area is steeped in myths and legends, there are countless ancient stories which have been retold around the campfire for centuries; from where Fíonn fell into the lake on top of the mountain and gained his grey hair to where Sétanta slew the hound and was thereafter named Cúchulainn, the Hound of Ulster.
Your hosts have farmed here for years and are delighted to share their knowledge of the local area, the traditions and the famous craic for which the Irish are renowned.

This place is beautiful beyond belief! An oasis of natural relaxation in the heart of the lovely Ring of Gullion!! Our third time staying here and it gets better every time...our kids are already lobbying us to book the next trip :) We spent an eggsellent Easter weekend in the cottage, with our kids not wanting to leave the site there was so much for them to enjoy, from the play park to feeding the donkeys and goat to riding the ‘drumlin express’ to playing in the nature trails and even a wee bit of bushcraft too! Cottage is charming, comfy and clean with beautiful views of Slieve Gullion. Padraig and Sharon and their daughters are wonderful hosts leaving no stone unturned to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Bluebell Lane is boutique glamping at its best...get there quick before everyone else discovers this hidden gem! ;)
