As Seen In

“This is the best little hostel I have ever stayed in. I stayed in 2004 and now again in 2019 and it is a gorgeously preserved and decorated traditional Irish farmhouse… with all creature comforts… the heating was on the rainy evening in August when I arrived and it was super cosy. I don't know why I took so long to rediscover this lovely place!”
