Corcreggan Mill Hostel

What the guide books say...

Guide du Routard:

"Great restoration work. Living room and dorms renovated in a very pretty way. Big kitchen, beautiful and well equipped. Very warm welcome, tea offered to new-comers. Warm atmosphere. The boss is a mine of information on the locality, which he has fallen in love with. He knows all the walking routes and the traditional music sessions. One of our best hostels in Ireland."

Let's Go, Ireland:

"Along the coast, 5 miles north of Falcarragh and 2miles south of Dunfanaghy, is the truly amazing and truly unique Corcreggan Mill Cottage Hostel. Owner Brendan has converted an old wooden railway car into comfortable rooms with mahogany floors and walls. Other rooms are available in the equally cool former kiln house. The three kitchens -- two for hostellers, one for campers -- have been redone using old materials to keep the traditional atmosphere. A Swilly bus stops right at the door. Many hostellers team up at night to hire the services of John McGinleys bus services to travel to and from the pubs. Hitchers report easy rides. "

"a hostel that is an attraction in its self....set alone among lush greenery....beautiful rustic old kiln house and 120 year old railway carriage with romantic doubles...there is a very special feel to the place."
