Pictures and description were promising but indeed it was even better. It was a really nice experience in an old monastery converted in a backpack trip hostel but keeping the period interior and many old pieces from all over the world. Stephen and Silvana are so kind and friendly. They did everything to make us feel like at home. We loved the homemade bread and marmelade at the free breakfast ! The location is perfect, 50m from Connemara National Park entrance (Diamond Hill), thus at a central place to visit all main spots in this region. Good place for groups, families and even if you are alone. Thank you so much to this lovely couple !
