    Hi there,

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a old hostel, possibly around the Parknasilla or Sneem area. Ran by a woman called Tess for some time. It may have closed in the early 2000's, maybe around 2004/2005. Don't know if it's still standing.

    Any info appreciated.

    Jen

    Hi
    There was a hostel called The Cantharella, but it closed down a few years ago. The building is still there but as far as I know its not being used for anything at the moment.

    That's the one! I have a picture of an old postcard of the hostel but was never able to make out the name. Do you know the address/area? I'm going to be travelling to Kerry in a few months, would love to visit nearby.

    Actually I've figured out the location, but would love to get in touch with the owners, see if I could get permission to photograph/film it.

    Its last name was Harbour View Hostel.
    It closed a few years ago after the owner passed away. Tess, his sister, still lives across the road.
