More Than Things: Finding What’s Real at Beirhope

In a world that rarely stops, where time slips through our fingers and we chase what doesn’t last, it’s easy to forget what really matters. But here at Beirhope, tucked away in the quiet hills of the Borders, we’re gently reminded every day that the richest parts of life can’t be bought.

They’re felt.
They’re shared.
They’re remembered.

It’s in the soft hum of the wind through the trees, in the steady pace of an alpaca beside you on the trail, in the warmth of a campfire under a sky scattered with stars. Out here, you don’t need much—just time, stillness, and a little wonder.

Our alpaca trails invite you to slow down. To walk at their pace (which, let’s be honest, is often wiser than ours), and to find joy in the simple rhythm of nature. There’s something deeply grounding about being near these gentle creatures—they remind us to be curious, calm, and present.

Time is the greatest gift we give and receive here. Time to notice. Time to connect. Time to laugh freely, to breathe deeply, and to feel alive in a way that often gets buried under emails and expectations.

Stillness doesn’t have to be silent to be powerful. Sometimes it’s a quiet moment before unzipping your tent, watching the morning mist roll in. Sometimes it’s lying back on the grass, stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the country, realising just how beautifully small we are in the best possible way.

Camping at Beirhope isn’t about luxury—it’s about something more lasting. It’s the crackle of the fire, the stories shared over hot chocolate, the soft hush of night settling over the fields. It’s falling asleep with the sounds of nature all around you and waking up to alpacas grazing nearby.

Fun and adventure live here, not in the form of thrill-seeking, but in the joy of slowing down. In the freedom to explore without a schedule. In the shared smiles, muddy boots, and unexpected moments that stay with you long after you’ve left.

We believe in memories over materials.
In stars over screens.
In a pace of life that lets you really live.

So if you’re longing for something real, something soft and grounding and joy-filled—come find it with us.

What’s really important has always been here, waiting in the hills, under the stars, beside an alpaca.

Come find it at Beirhope.
