Stephen has cobbled together an eclectic, immensely charming and homey space at the edge of Connemara National Park. It is a beautiful location, filled to the brim with books and old furniture, looked after by a wonderful man always willing to chat and tell stories. We stayed in the "Love" hut, a little room made almost entirely out of windows and heated with an electric blanket. It was a super cozy getaway next to a gurgling stream and with views of the woods and the ocean, a perfect and unexpected piece of privacy in a hostel. Could not recommend this hostel more highly! had a lovely time eating breakfast with Stephen and chatting the mornings away before hiking in the beautiful hills just outside.
