Reviewed by the Guardian Newspaper 3 February 2009:
'Rarely will you see another hostel with such a look of permanent surprise on its face. This lovely detached villa, parked under the cliffs, stares out wide eyed over a country railway line to the longest beach on the north coast of Ireland and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Inside, the decor and furnishings give the unmistakeable feeling that you're a guest in someone's enviably comfortable home. The Giant's Causeway is just a short bus ride away ... but perhaps we'll curl up with a book and go tomorrow.'

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BOOKING: We have 5 double rooms with shared bathrooms, all our double rooms can be used as twins and all can sleep up to 4 in a double bed + 2 single beds if required. If you want to book a room for a family please book a private double or twin room, then email us if additional beds are required. There is a charge of £5 per night for an additional child needing their own bed, and £10 per night for an additional adult.
If you want to book multiple private rooms the system requires you to make multiple bookings, if you try to select more than two people in private rooms the system will try to put you into a dorm. You can avoid this by booking one couple at a time into a private room.
CHECK IN/OUT: you may arrive between 3pm (15:00) and 8pm (20:00), check out is at 11:00 am
