Bushmills  Hostel was clean, affordable, and convenient to the places we wanted to see in the rural parts of Northern Ireland (with a bus stop right outside their door). The staff were really accommodating and went out of their way to help us with bag storage. They are right across the street from a grocery store, have a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals, and a large dining area, perfect for sitting and chatting with fellow travelers. If you don’t want to cook, we found several places to get great food a short walk from the hostel. The rooms were fairly spacious and quiet, beds were relatively comfortable, and the showers were amazing. Overall, I’d have no trouble recommending Bushmills Hostel to friends and family or staying there again myself.
