Barrel glamping pod for two ยท Newcastle, County Down
Smuggler's Cove
Book a cosy timber pod beside Newcastle harbour, with Dundrum Bay in front of you and the Mourne Mountains at your back
Your own little pod by the sea
Small in size, big on character
Smuggler's Cove is a single, self-contained barrel pod tucked behind a timber gate on King Street, a stone's throw from Newcastle harbour. Inside, warm pine curves overhead: a snug double bed in the arch, a two-seater sofa, a dining bench, a breakfast nook with the essentials for a good morning brew, and your own shower room.
It's made for two people who want the sea air, a mountain walk and a decent pint, all within a few minutes on foot.

Outside the pod
Your front row seat to the bay
Step through the French doors and the view is all yours. Your own artificial-grass terrace sits high above the harbour, with a picnic bench, a pair of Adirondack chairs and the barbecue ready to go. Watch the boats come and go, see the light change over Dundrum Bay, then fire up the grill as the evening settles in.
It's the kind of spot where a morning coffee quietly turns into an afternoon.
Views over the bay

A friendly note about the neighbours
Smuggler's Cove sits on a residential street, with homes close by on either side. It's a lovely, lived-in corner of Newcastle, so we ask guests to keep things relaxed and quiet, especially in the evenings. There's no music after 11pm.
