If you think of a hostel as a low cost communal sleeping arrangements you would be mistaken in Laois. Our hostels offer comfort with individual bedrooms and spaces to gather and chat around the fire. The  Forum a hostel in Mountmellick at the foothills of the Slieve Bloom is the perfect base to discover the Slieve Bloom Mountains and all they have to offer. Maybe a farm stay is more to your liking and Farran Farm hostel offers a fire place that is perfect for storytelling after a day exploring lovely Laois.
