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!

Liz is what makes this hostel a home. Such a warm genuine character and a pleasure to meet passing through the Glens on my bike. Lovely shared kitchen space.

Liz is a warm and generous host! She helped me with transportation, offered laundry services, and gave me advice for different walks in the area. The waterfall hike and views of the sea were magical. The location is rural but walkable to hikes and a bus that runs into town several times a day- probably best to buy groceries ahead of time if you don’t have a car.
