I stayed here twice in the summer of 2011, once with friends (all in our 20's) and once with my mother (in her early 60's) and had an excellent experience of the hostel both times.

I visited the hostel in winter and although there were few guests the hostel was open and well heated. The staff were friendly and welcoming with plenty of information on activities available. The rooms were tidy and well presented. The location is in a scenic valley at the foot of Donegal's highest peak, Errigal. The views are breathtaking and the... More

The facility was very clean and modern with a shop next door and a pub within 200 metres. A big thanks to Karl and his staff for making our stay so pleasurable and with the good weather we got to...

Newly refurbished, the hostel has a great kitchen and common room, with... More
