Situated in Belmullet, 37 km from Ballycroy National Park, Kilcommon Lodge Holiday Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is set 38 km from Doonamona Castle, 38 km from Ionad Deirbhile Heritage Centre and 49 km from Church of Ireland Cathedral. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. Inkeeper was very friendly and helpful. She gave us the best recommendations for sights to visit in the area. It is well situated if you are here by car, because you can visit all the points of interest within reasonable driving time. Common room is very cozy and has a fireplace. Kitchen is big and well equipped. Shower has very reliable hot water, and water pressure is very good. Facilities are shared with only one other room, so chances to run in with other guest are quite slim (we visited off-season, so it was only us using them at the time) If I were to visit that part of this beautiful country again, I would absolutely choose this place again.
