Go Explore Hostel

Top choice in County Mayo


This terrific hostel is a delight, with voluminous windows and a terrace overlooking the water, while vintage features include a large 1840s fireplace. The pub draws drinkers from around the island, with the call of decent beer, good food (mains €8 to €20) and frequent live-music sessions. All manner of adventure activities and classes keep guests occupied.

The hostel also opens for the Easter holidays; in the wind-lashed winter months, it's group bookings only.
