Communal rooms (i.e. lounge area and dining room) are clean and quite good to have.
4.5
The centre was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Very well organised and kitted out. The beds were really comfortable.
The bedroom was very warm, but we were able to turn the heating down for the second night.

Just gorgeous. Location, setting, interior, ethos of care and attention to detail. A wonderful, nourishing place.
4.5
The location was outstanding. A tranquil, beautiful spot in sight of some stunning mountains. We like the strong environmental focus in the way the hostel was run.
My only suggestions would be to provide glasses in the rooms and to provide a more detailed ons type map of the area for those seriously interested in walking

1. Nice kitchen and spacious rooms.
2. Good wifi and showers
3. Beds were comfortable, and the TV was working
1. Had parmesan cheese packet in my bedside drawer.
2.Was given two check-in times - 3pm to 5pm and 5pm to 8pm. Had to give my card number by phone to reserve the place. Also, the check-in time is only 2 hours.
4.5
Cleanliness of the property is top notch. Complete kitchen utensils and appliances. If you have a car, the property is a short drive from the places of attractions.
Heating does not work and warm water is not enough so some of us will have to take a cold shower in freezing weather.
4.5
Wonderful stay, well maintained - room, kitchen, dining, garden, etc. Will be back!

Really well equipped hostel. Was lovely and warm and very clean. We booked the whole centre for a group of families and it had everything we needed. The large hall space was great for the children to entertain themselves.
We knew what to expect - location is remote and that wasn't a problem for us but important to know.

Great place will return one day.

Spacious room, clean kitchen, a lovely living room
The code given to us didn’t work, and we couldn’t get inside. Luckily another person who was also locked out was able to call his friend to open the door from inside to let the three of us in. Otherwise, God knows when we could get in. We called the number posted on the door but didn’t get answered.

Self catering but the kitchen and dining area were excellent and you were given your own marked press and basket for the fridge with your room number on it. As a hostel goes, it was beautiful - quiet, scenic, beautiful views, outdoor patio with tables and a BBQ.
Our only quibble would be that there was no thumb-lock inside the room. If one person leaves the room and locks the door on whoever is left (say you wanted a really early run and your partner wanted a lie-in), in an emergency there is no way to get the door open from the inside. Why do B&B's guest houses, hostels persist in having a key lock without a thumb-lock on the inside? It is not a huge expense and It would save so much anxiety and possibly a tragedy sometime.
4.5
Great facilities
Well organised hostel esp the kitchen - room number corresponded to cupboard with utensils and fridge space
Other guests and staff were welcoming
Nice garden and play area for the kids
Bike storage
Lovely countryside setting with great views of Benbulben and good cycling territory
The blue light on the ceiling that stayed on all night, fire safety??
No shops or pub close by - we stocked up in bundoran on the way there

This was an excellent place to stay for a couple of days. We like to prepare our own meals and the kitchen facilities were excellent for that. The centre was very quiet at this time of the year (September) and although there were a couple of other guests staying there, we never really saw or heard them. Would not hesitate to book here again.
Nothing - no complaints at all. It is a little bit off the beaten track so some form of transport would be advised to get here.
4.5
Bed was super comfortable and room was quite spacious
Space demarcated in the fridge was a good plus
Bedroom had a safety green light that couldn't be turned off. I had to wear a sleep mask because it was so bright it kept me awake. Please see photo taken at 3am with no filter to see how bright it was
Water in the shower was way too hot and couldn't turn it colder
