Old monastery hostel is a beautiful place with a soul, a lot of art, upcycled elements. It's very clean even though it's old. The cabin is not very hot so a pair of woolen socks will be handy. Also, the cabin is right next to a river and nicely isolated from the main house which means to go to bathroom you need to go outside and then to the main house. Kitchen has all cooking amenities, breakfast is very delicious (home made soda bread, fruit bread, boiled eggs, porridge, butter, jams, fruits). Bathrooms and showers are hostel style, a few cabins and sinks in one room. Living room has a lot of board games, very warm and chilling. Conemara park entrance is 1 minute walk, amazing! Thanks for hosting us, Stephen, we would definitely come back while visiting Connemara again.
This place is for people who likes staying simple with a nature, not a hotel type of stay.
