We stayed there early May and we loved the location. It's a beautiful area and the Silver Strand Beach is only 5 min walking distance. The hostel is great; all bedrooms and bathrooms were cosy and clean. The owner is really nice and helpful.

Yes, it' s true! This hostel and the wild nature around it, it's a faboulous land in the northern west of Ireland! Just you, the sheeps and the sound of ocean! The hostel is located on the top of the cliff overlooking the ocean. And five minutes by foot there's a beautiful beach near the infinity green grass where the... More

We arrived after a long drive and after being shown around the facilities by Frank the owner I asked what the nearby Martello Tower was as I'd never seen one before. He scowled and told me that it had been built by "My lot" (I'm English), then I think he realised he'd slipped up and he smiled and tried to... More

We have stayed with Frank 3 long weekends now and will defintely be back as soon as we possible... More

I loved this hostel so much. It was absolutely beautiful, perfectly clean, perfect accommodation! It was so tranquil and I loved that we had the fire place to sit around with fellow guests. I did not do much on this visit but it was perfect that way, just to relax and enjoy the simple quiet area we were in. I... More

Malinbeg Hostel in Glencolumbkille (or Glencolmcille!!) is a really well run, clean hostel - on the coast surrounded by sheep - nice little pier nearby and a wonderful strand - Trá Bán or Silver Strand. Frank, the owner, is very friendly and very helpful. The fire was lighting when we came in out of the rain the night we stayed!
