Dooey

You'll find Dooey Hostel in Glencolumbkille, which is about a further 20 minute drive on past Killybegs in Donegal. It's the maddest looking hostel, built without planning permission into the side of a cliff and having a flat roof covered with sprouting turf.

You'll be met with this as soon as you enter:
Apologies for fuzziness
The corridor is half ivy clad cliff, half dayglo orange clad authentic early eighties walls. There are even giant plastic spiders hidden among the ivy to blow your tiny little mind even further out of orbit.
Isn't that class?
And this is the view from your room. Awesome.

Not only do you get all this for 12 Euro a night, Mary the sexagenarian hostel manager will even make you a cup of tea and bring it to you in bed when you're hungover.

Recommended.

If it's the place I think it is, I camped there last summer. Agreed, an odd spot.
