What to expect from Knockrobin Glamping
Knockarobin is an ideal place to glamp for those of you that fancy merging a hotel stay with something a little bit more out there.
You can kick-back in the quirky glampsite during the day, and then nip into the restaurant in Tinakilly House in the evening for a bite to eat.
Or you can peel yourself out of bed nice and early and head for a ramble, and then arrive back in time to grab a bit of breakfast in the hotel.
Inside the tents
When you rock up to Knockrobin Glamping, you’ll be shown to your bed for the evening. It’s then that you’ll first lay eyes on the view.
The tents at Knockrobin overlook the rolling Wicklow countryside and on towards the Irish Sea.
You can soak up the views from your private deck or, if you fancy a stroll, from the adjoining Broadlough nature reserve.
The tents are luxuriously decorated and boast every amenity that you can think of.
Worried about the toilet situation? Don’t. You’ll have access to a private, hotel styled bathroom right next to your tent.
Here’s what else you can expect:
- A luxe bell tent
- Each tent has power for lights and to charge your laptop or phone
- Hot showers that are available 24/7
- Fresh towels and toiletries
- On-site parking.
- Heaters and electric blankets for added cosiness
How much a night will set you back
OK – the big question: how much does a night here cost.
I whacked in a night in August and the cost for 2 people with breakfast was €130, which isn’t too bad to be fair.
You can book a night here via their website.

Hi Keith. we are coming into Dublin on a Saturday, September 14, planning to stay the first night in Dublin, then head out Sunday morning to go to Wicklow, and follow your itinerary, I was wondering if we should stay in Wicklow or go to Cork vs going back to Dublin. Is that too much to do for a day? We have to be back in Dublin on the 23rd for a wedding and will cover more of Dublin then. Planning to follow your itinerary for the 10 day trip from Dublin, but do the Dublin portion at the end.

Hey Patty! Stay in Wicklow, definitely. It'll mean you'll avoid the long spin down to Cork and have the opportunity to enjoy an evening in Wicklow (the Wicklow Heather is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Ireland!). Have a great trip!
