Background:  The hostel was originally built as a wool store and, later a grain mill. In 1995, Frank and Maria Murphy refurbished the building, retaining the stone facade and creating the atmosphere of a big townhouse. The business grew with tourism in East Cork and 2003 saw the opening of an extension which includes a modern kitchen and dining room. At present, groups are catered for on request and the facilities will be extended, as required.
