This was a delightful place to spend the night while working my way through Donegal County. Well-located to check out all the must-sees on the peninsula, and a quick drive (or medium walk) to the beach--close to a beautiful waterfall as well as the Famine village, and an easy trip up to Malin Head.
The hostel itself was so nice it felt more like a hotel than a hostel -- very clean, roomy feel, and spectacular views. Plenty of parking, and a huge kitchen, laundry facilities, very fast wifi. Robert was an absolutely lovely host and it was wonderful chatting with him and scoping out his extensive book collection. Highly recommend staying here if you're in the area. While I was traveling on my own, this seems ideal for groups. (Apparently they host a lot of weddings in Ballyliffin, and I can see why-- spectacular views!!)
