Aunt Rachel's Barn Hostel

Exceptionally good value, clean and comfortable fun stay in pleasant rural surroundings, with a very friendly welcome. Would definitely repeat the experience

Remote location means own transport is a definite requirement. The help yourself buffet style breakfast was decent as well. Nothing not to like here.

Aunt Rachel's is as stated - a large barn on a farm with upstairs rooms and a big kitchen/dining area. We were the only people there so we had the place to ourselves. We were greeted by a lovely lady who let us choose our room - the one with the opening window on the north side is the best. We loved it!

In the end we had a great night at Aunt Rachel's however we warned it is "rustic".

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable room. Great shower and good towels. Very comfortable bed for a greats nights sleep

A lot of banging on the first night but it stopped eventually and the lift was out of order.

The place itself is basic but good enough for an overnight stay. Close to the giants causeway for us to go and visit. Breakfast and the dining facilities again basic but fine.

The place was deserted when we arrived. We and another visitor waited quite some time until an elderly lady came and gave us our room keys. This lady did her best but was unable to work the card machine to take payment. The following morning we wanted to pay and leave. Again there was no staff, the place was deserted. There was no answer to the phone no. We eventually managed to speak with the same lady who told us the payment had been taken, presumably from our card details on booking.com which was fine but had we known that we wouldn’t have wasted so much time trying to find someone. The other guest had already left, wondering how she could pay but had to get to an active she had booked. There was a total lack of communication which lead to unnecessary waste of our time.
