Sandrock Holiday Hostel

Top choice in Inishowen Peninsula


The cinematic view from this IHH hostel – at the end of the road, above a rocky bay on the western side of the headland – will take your breath away. Inside are 20 beds in two dorms, plus musical instruments and laundry facilities. There's a good kitchen and a cosy lounge with telescopes on hand for spotting basking sharks and dolphins.

Bike rental (€10 per day) is available. Ask about the very limited community-bus connections to get here.
