Summer Returns to Mount Congreve with the Reopening of Meadow Glamping
Wake up to birdsong, wander one of the world’s great gardens before breakfast and switch off beneath canvas as Meadow Glamping returns to Mount Congreve Gardens in Waterford for Summer 2026.
The much-loved seasonal glamping experience has reopened in the beautiful meadow at Mount Congreve Gardens, offering visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying one of Ireland’s most celebrated garden estates.
A nature-led escape
The beautifully furnished 100% cotton bell tents are nestled in a peaceful meadow with direct access to the Waterford Greenway and include complimentary admission to the spectacular 70-acre gardens throughout each stay. Designed for couples looking to slow down and reconnect with nature, every tent features a comfortable double bed dressed with luxurious Foxford throws and a peaceful setting where mornings begin with nothing more than birdsong.
Off-grid experience
The off-grid experience encourages guests to truly disconnect from the pace of everyday life. Solar-powered lighting, rechargeable lanterns and crank torches provide gentle illumination, while coolers keep food fresh. Without electricity, Meadow Glamping offers a rare opportunity to embrace simple living surrounded by one of Ireland’s finest natural landscapes.
Whether spending the day exploring the magnificent collection of plants, discovering hidden woodland walks, cycling the nearby Waterford Greenway or simply unwinding beside the campfire beneath the stars, Meadow Glamping offers an unforgettable escape in the heart of County Waterford.
Guests can also enjoy breakfast, lunch or Mount Congreve’s renowned Afternoon Tea at the award-winning Stables Café, where seasonal produce from the estate’s own Kitchen Gardens features throughout the menu.

Meadow Glamping forms part of the growing collection of distinctive accommodation experiences available at Mount Congreve Gardens, alongside the elegant Courtyard Suite within historic Mount Congreve House, the beautifully restored Gate Lodges and the woodland Eco Cabins, giving visitors a choice of unique ways to experience an overnight stay on the estate.
