Beds very comfortable as well.

  Hidden gem - Sometimes you want to veer off the beaten path. When you do, you want a place like Dromid Hostel! The service was outstanding, and the space ideal for... read more our group of 9 cyclists. When I told Kathy in advance about our plans she promptly set aside 2 family rooms for us (for both nights of our stay). But wow! I wasn't expecting the friendliness! Tom greeted us with absolute joy and a desire to make every part of our stay pleasant. When foul weather delayed our boat ride to Skellig Islands, they arranged a taxi. And they provided a large, fantastic "living room" type space for our leadership discussions. Loved this place and would promptly return.

  Hidden gem - Best hostel I've ever stayed in! - was doing the Kerry Way, 2 families - 3 adults, 5 children , walking over 13km per day - on day 3 we... read more came across the sign for the hostel - what a find! - we phoned, they had spaces, and were collected from Mastergeeha post office and brought to this oasis - spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen, homely, fab sitting room with amazing views, but most of all and the best thing about the place was the lovely staff, I can't remember all their names - Maura, Jimmy were 2 and they were soooo helpful. Nothing was to much trouble for them - they were extremely kind, helpful, proud of the set up and went out of their way to ensure that while the wind and rain took from the enjoyment of the walk this place made up for it in spades We're already planning and scheming to go back again next year and include the hidden gem along the way.
