My stay in the River Cabin was exactly what I needed to revive my spirit after so many months of isolation in Galway City. It was amazing to be right at the base of the Connemara National Park with so many walking paths through the forest and up Diamond Hill. The sunsets are incredible when the weather is good. It's such a peaceful setting and everyone I met at the hostel was so friendly. The homemade bread and coffee/tea in the morning was always a wonderful start to the day and I really appreciated the commitment to green travel and low impact tourism. I will definitely be back at some point!
