Hi from Abbeywood House, Westport, Co. Mayo, Ireland…

Hi all, my name’s Susan and I own and run Abbeywood House www.abbeywoodhouse.com , a former monastery on the west coast of Ireland which I converted into a 28 bed hostel 8 years ago , still lovin it (..most of the time!…) .The last 4 years I’ve closed for January and February and I head off to recharge my batteries, get some new ideas…and some sun… and remember what its like to be a traveller.
I just came across this site the other day…it’s great to have a forum specifically for hostel owners/managers etc, I look forward to sharing ideas or the odd rant with some of ye...
