23 August 2011 Sophie would recommend this property

Liked: it's an old hotel, it's huge and more hotel-like than hostel-like. old furniture and curtains, a fireplace and a well equipped hotel kitchen o use for your own cooking, really nice!

Disliked: that it wasn't right where we assumed it would be from the description but about 12 km away from the clifs of moher in a little village

Clare Downer

05 August 2009 Clare would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean and was easy to find. There was no bar which we thought there was. The kitchen was big and plenty of space to sit and relax. Rooms were clean and tidy but one bathroom for the whole dorm was slightly annoying.

Maurice Hope

25 June 2009 Maurice would recommend this property

Liked: Nice and spacious, and though close to Lisdoonvarna it was also cut off from everything and most relaxing. Value for money they don’t come much better and more worthy of a visit. I hope not only to return but to their hostel in Connemara.

Disliked: Maurice left no negative feedback.
