Owned and run by Mattie & Carmel Shannon,
the Rainbow Hostel is situated on a working farm in the village of Doolin, which is famous
for Irish traditional music and culture.
| The hostel is a converted cottage where the
Shannon family ran a tailoring business for over 100 years until the 1970s. The hostel,
established in 1986, is small and cosy having just 24 beds, including private double rooms
and a twin room and has a simple and relaxed atmosphere. Facilities
include a self-catering kitchen, laundry, bike hire and open turf fire in the common room. When you stay with us, every effort will be
made to make you feel at home. Mattie has a
keen interest in the archaeology and nature of the area and most evenings will be very
glad to share his knowledge and experience with the hostellers. This includes taking them for a guided walk and
showing his wide range of slides in the common room by the fire. The hostel is beside the bus stop at Doolin Post
Office & Shop (if arriving by bus, just ask the bus-driver to let you off at the
Rainbow hostel). |
