Description: Some would say; bohemian, some have called it rustic, others have described it as charming.... This old workhorse has been in perpetual service for An Oige for some forty plus years. Before that it served as the local post office and shop for a time, and before that was a private residence built around the turn of the century. It is by no means the most beautiful building you ever saw, but what it is; is clean, warm, friendly and set in one of the most stunning unspoiled parts of Ireland.

The hostel caters for individuals, groups and family's. Dormitory rooms are six beded while private rooms can cater from two to eight beds. The rooms are not en suite, but showers and toilets are separated into male and female respectively. There is a full self-catering kitchen here at the hostel with everything you need including pot's, pans, cutlery etc. Just bring the food!
