Ballyeamon Barn Tourist Hostel

Ballyeamon Barn Tourist Hostel A tourist hostel with a difference! It overlooks the quiet countryside of the Glenariff Forest Park with its stunning waterfalls and woodland trails.

Ballyeamon Barn is a tourist hostel located 5 miles/ 8 km from the village of Cushendall, the main village of the famous Glens of Antrim, and just 40 miles from Belfast. The barn is ideally situated as starting point for trips along the Antrim Coast where visitors can experience the tourist attractions of County Antrim (Rathlin Island, Murlough Bay, Carrick-a-rede bridge and the famous Giant’s Cau

seway) or just relax with walks through the Glens, along Cushendall beach or the idyllic bays of Antrim Coast. It is ideal for walkers, cyclists, individual and group travellers who can enjoy the outstanding beauty and peace of what is said to be a magical and inspiring place. Ballyeamon Barn is a hostel with a difference as it has its own “session house” where visitors have the chance to hear local musicians and singers during regular evenings of storytelling and music. Owner Liz Weir hosts groups of visitors who want to experience the “real” Northern Ireland, meet the locals and feel part of the community, and they would be doing so within the rich culture and scenic beauty of the Glens of Antrim- with its folklore, music and dance. Liz holds weekly regular sessions of storytelling and music for locals and tourists. She also offers workshops on storytelling, creative writing, music, dance, and traditional crafts. For those who just need to take advantage of the restful and beautiful environment, she will provide “pamper weekends,” which will include reflexology, massage, walks, storytelling, and music. For those who enjoy horse riding, we can facilitate off road trekking at a picturesque mountain top location.

Anyone can join us online tonight at 8 30 pm for our regular session. Message me for the zoom link.

The barn has lost a great friend - Donna Marie Kuczynski was a regular at our weekly sessions. Her words of wisdom, her humour , her excellent storytelling and total support will be much missed. Hopefully she will enjoy the craic with Alex, Jim, Hugh, Jack , Charlie and Eileen, all of whom preceded her. Our sympathy to her family and other friends around the world.
