We had a cozy stay in the midst of the wilderness with the continuous sound of running stream. Our stay was great because the location was up to the mark. The connemara national park was at walking distance and their are several leisure activities (board games, guitar) that one can enjoy in the premise.
Stephen is a very punctual and a direct guy. He is nice and prepare some delicious porridge. Take care to follow his hostel rules, which is fair to run such a facility :)
