Join Our Hostel on The Wild Atlantic Way! :)
The experience
Hi there! We're a seaside hostel located in Strandhill, Co. Sligo, along the Wild Atlantic Way. We reopened under new management last year and had an amazing summer season with a great team! As we're heading into busier months, we're looking to expand our current team and appreciate your interest in checking out our listing.
We run a local surf school (Strandhill has a major surf scene!), so we tend to host many groups who are booked in to surf!

Activities & Shift
Night Porting Shift starts from 8:30pm and finishes at 1:30am or 2:30am depending on how busy we are.
