About

Ballyeamon Barn offers modern comfortable budget priced accommodation with 14 bunk beds (with bedding) and a private apartment suitable for couples or families.

It has free wifi, central heating, fully fitted kitchen with free tea/coffee. There are laundry facilities, a barbeque area and a workshop space which can also be rented by groups.

This is a hostel with a difference. Ballyeamon Barn has its own “session house” where visitors have the chance to meet local musicians and singers during regular sessions of storytelling and music, free and open to all.

Owner Liz Weir hosts groups of visitors who want to experience the “real” Northern Ireland, meet the locals and feel part of the community. They do so within the rich culture and scenic beauty of the Glens of Antrim- with its folklore, music and dance.

Liz also offers storytelling workshops and can arrange local walking guides, horse riding, yoga and 'pamper' sessions for visitors. You will leave with lots of stories!

I cannot recommend enough The Ballyeamon Barn. This is a place for travelers looking to be transported to a magical land. It’s accessible by bus/train and a short walk up a country road. From the hostel, you can take trails down to Glenariff Forest Park. The atmosphere in the hostel itself is delightfully warm and homey. Keep a look out for storytelling events in the area. 10/10!
