Hostels in Ireland

The fantastic Kerry hostel is located 8 miles from the small Beaufort village and perfectly situated for many off the beaten track activities. This corner of Ireland is truly breathtaking. It is located on the Kerry Way and the Macgillycuddy Reeks and Carrauntoohill are both accessible from the hostel. The Macgillycuddy Reeks are the highest mountains in Ireland.

Its stunning location makes this hostel ideal for any visitors looking to discover the natural beauty of Ireland. Horse riding is available at the nearby Gap of Dunloe and boating in the Upper Lakes of Killarney.

"I have been going here for 40 years and still haven't found anywhere as nice. Great people, beautiful place." M.Keogh, April 2006

This modern Kerry hostel is located in a truly breathtaking corner of Ireland and is the most Westerly hostel in Europe.

Dún Chaoin is in Ireland's Southwest, in the Province of Munster and in Co. Kerry. It is the most westerly point on the Dingle Peninsula and is located on Slí Choca Dhuibhne (the Dingle Way) and near Mt Brandon, Ireland's second highest mountain. It is an Irish-speaking (Gaeltacht) area and regularly has students coming from around the country to the area to learn the language.

The spectacular views of the Blasket islands, the rugged cliffs which make up the coastline, the picturesque, narrow, winding pathway leading to the pier and the splendid sunsets are featured in many calendars, postcards and tourist brochures each year.

This is also a great area for whale and bird watching!

"Excellent manager, cosy, hostel very clean and well run". Liam, Irish, August 2005

This Kerry hostel - Glanmore Lake Hostel  - is an old school house and is located at the foot of the Tim Healy Pass and is near the Beara Way in the Beara Peninsula.

The view from the top is reminiscent of the Alps and is magnificent. The area has all the nature lover would want  - lakes, sea, mountains and forests! The Healy Pass is situated between Adrigole and Lauragh and is famous for some of the most stunning scenery in Ireland on a good day.

"Loved the place. Went there after reading the BUG reviews. They are true. It's huge, clean, beautiful. I lay in bed in the mornings and watched the mist roll over the lakes, in front of the mountains!" BugEurope.com Review, Anonymous, USA, October 2003
