Exceptionally friendly welcome from Mairead the manager. Lovely community project hostal/hotel in the Mourne Mountains. Well located with hill and coastal walks nearby Inc Silent Valley. About three miles inland from Kilkeel . If you are considering a trip this way you won't be disappointed. Breakfast looked good with fresh local ingredients though we opted for self-catering the well equipped communal kitchen was ideal for our needs.
We were the first visitors post lockdown and they have done lots of work to ensure social distancing and other health and safety precautions can be observed. 10/10

Really great community run Hostel in beautiful surroundings. Ideal spot for those who love hill walking or touring Northern Ireland. Clean comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was very reasonable and the hostess was a gem of a lady. She chatted to use while we ate telling us about the community and the beauty that surrounds them.

Mairead makes this hostel a great place to visit. Good, clean and wholesome food as well as a kitchen should guests prefer self catering. Good mobile phone signal. Mairead has upgraded WiFi to Superfast Broadband. Such a thoughtful lady. This upgrade will surely enhance communications for visitors far and wide Many Thanks, Mairead!

Stayed here with a few friends back in August and not a week goes by that I don't think about how much I enjoyed it. Wonderful place in a quiet town, nestled in breathtaking mountains.
Has everything you could need in your travels, including a full kitchen. And if they didn't have what you need, Mairead was the type of host who would go to the ends of the earth to find it for you!
Beds were comfortable and the showers were hot. Had a full breakfast in the morning (my first time having porridge and stewed vegetables, which were delicious!) and received recommendations for nearby hikes. If I ever
