Accommodation at the centre is shared. The rooms have bunk beds and cater for 4 or 6 people. Rooms are separate for male and females.
A single, double or twin room can be requested and is sometimes available, depending on how full the course is. Please note the twin room is a small single room with bunk beds.
The rooms are small with little shelf space and no wardrobes

FAQs:
I am coming on my own. Do i have to book a single room?
Most people come on their own.
When you select 'sharing' on the on-line booking form, you will be given a bed in one of the dorms which sleep 4 or 6.
We have separate dorms for males and females.
However, if you wish to have the privacy of your own room, then its possible for you to book a single room. We have 3 single rooms, which are sometimes available, depending on how full the course is.
For the week long course, is it €120 extra per night or per week for the single room?
The course price for week long courses has been reduced to €690, and the single room costs €120 extra for the week (or part of week if you are staying less than the full course).
What are the rooms like?
All the rooms are newly built, clean, bright and warm and have duvets, pillows and 100% Egyptian cotton high quality 400 thread count linen supplied.
A bath towel and hand towel are also supplied.
All the rooms are bunk rooms. We have three single/twin rooms, two double rooms, two rooms for 4, one room for 6.
Although we can sleep 23 people, we only ever have 15 on each course, so we try to have 3 people in the rooms for 4 and 4 people in the room for 6, but this all depends on male female ratio.
The beds are not normal ‘bunk beds’; one bed is suspended from the ceiling and the other is a free standing divan underneath it. Most of the beds are individually carved 'works of art' by Johnny Ray who carves spirals and curves into all his work.
The rooms have underfloor heating and are warm and cosy at night.
Please note that the bedrooms are quite small.
Mattresses have all been
upgraded to hotel standard October 2008 and all linen upgraded to 100% Egyptian cotton 400 thread count.

How small are the rooms?
The double room is very small. The door does not open fully as the bed is in the way. The bed takes up most of the room. The room has very little shelf space and no wardrobes.
The 3 single rooms are very small and again the door opens against the bed. And have very little shelf space and no wardrobes.
But they are spotlessly clean with top quality mattresses, and 100% Egyptian cotton bedding and towels.
Bathrooms sharing
There are 4 bathrooms in the centre, each having a shower, toilet and hand basin.
One bathroom has a large two person sized bath for relaxing into after classes.
None of the bathrooms are en-suite.
All bathrooms are adjacent to the bedrooms.
We recommend Burren Ecotourism accommodation
There are accommodation businesses in the Burren who are also accredited by Burren Ecotourism, so why not stay at accommodation that is helping protect the environment and interested in sustainable tourism in this fragile region of The Burren.
