I cannot recommend this place enough! My friend and I stayed in the River Cabin and were delighted with the place. Stephen kindly greeted us and showed us our cabin by the river and gave us a tour of the hostel itself. It had large windows that showcased the lush greenery and the sound of the rushing water was celestial. It was clean, warm, and the electric blanket was a great addition. We fell in love with the entire place and could tell that every room and item in the hostel was lovingly created or re-sourced or donated. It added new meaning to the term “made with love,” because you can tell a lot of memories have been made in this beautiful place. We spent time in the reading room/common area which felt like a vintage Parisian (or Victorian!) library. We were so lucky to be there on a sunny day and take in the magic of this place that Stephen and Silva manifested together. We cannot thank you enough for making such a special place for travelers- tucked humbly beside the Connemara wilderness and nestled beside the quaint town of Letterfrack. 12/10 We will be back soon!
