5 I was at this hostel in May 1999 and it was by far the nicest place I stayed during my two weeks travelling in Ireland. Schull was a beautiful town, the dinner we had in town was fantastic, and walking along the ocean at sunset was a memorable experience. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone.
