About

The Old Mill Holiday Hostel is owned and run by the Carr family. It is set in an old courtyard, just off James Street, giving it a very central location in Westport, Co.Mayo. We hope you enjoy your time at the Old Mill and will return some day.

Built around C1780 the building has undergone many changes over the years. It was part of a network of warehouse buildings used as a brewery in the 18th century. It later served as a storehouse, animal shelter and slaughter house, a chicken hatchery and in 1991 was renovated and converted into a budget holiday hostel. It has been welcoming visitors from all over the world ever since.

Room options for the Old Mill Holiday Hostel include;

Five x 4 bed dorms (some with optional 5th bed)
Two x 6 bed dorms (some with optional 7th bed)
One x 8 bed dorm
One x 12 bed dorm

The Old Mill Holiday Hostel offers clean and comfortable hostel accommodation, where the bedrooms feature the old stone walls and wooden beams refurbished to create a warm relaxing ambiance ensuring a calm mind and peaceful sleep.

Great place to stay but unfortunately no being able to shower was not good at ALL ! The showers wouldn't stay on for more than 10 seconds and was going cold too. Not good if you've been out hiking all day. Other than that BIG issue, great all round !

Overall it was a great town and everything was fine. But, the facilities were underwhelming and they could use a few more hooks in the bathroom. I will say that when we were here the wifi wasn’t working so that probably contributed.
