Just a brilliant place to stay ! Fabulous view, clean and cosy. Warm, fire in lounge area on the cold nights. Electric blanket on bed. Great breakfast and full use of kitchen ... Lovely German hosts ! - so everything is super organized ! Only a few rooms, so not a party hostel !

The lookout in Ardara is a beautiful house in a gorgeous location. The views and countryside surrounding the house are absolutely stunning. You can walk to a very nice beach in about 45 minutes. The house was clean and there were nice touches throughout. Adrien was a welcoming host and went above and beyond with rides to town, and he makes the best pancakes around. In town make sure to check out the wonderful shops and Nancy's pub! I stayed in the Atlantic Suite for 2 days with 2 friends and were very comfortable! There are a few other rooms to rent in this beautiful house and they all look lovely. I enjoyed sitting with my cup of tea in the morning, looking out the huge picture windows, watching the sheep move along the hillside in the rain.

A gorgeous place to stay. Amazing views over the bay, all super clean, neat, organized and comfortable. Plus, as it is a 'hostel' you can cook your dinner, prepare lunch ! The fireplace is lit for you each evening .... what a luxury ! Although not advertised ... they actually also provide a continental style breakfast each morning. Lovely hosts, a really friendly happy place, I will be back !
