About The Owners of ArrowRock Hostel

ArrowRock Hostel was previously known as Rock View Hotel.

It was owned and run as a small rural hotel by Mary & Craig Robinson from May 2000.

We decided to changed over to a Hostel in early 2009 and took part in the RTE TV program, “At Your Service” where our conversion was filmed. An interesting experience and a great motivator because jobs had to be done for the next session of filming.

Since opening as a Hostel in May 2009 we have had a great response and enjoyed meeting guests from all over the planet. That is perhaps the biggest difference running a hostel because when we were a hotel most guests came from either the UK or Ireland but as a hostel guests are coming from just about everywhere. 

Another great thing about running a hostel is that, thanks to Facebook and email, we regularily hear from past guests and many have become good friends.  Some have re-visited us already and others from further a field hope to come back again.

We hope you visit us soon,

Mary & Craig

The Cats are squatters, their mother moved into our shed and left us with the 4 in the basket.  We kept two Piggy (ginger kitten on the left) & Dora (little black & white kitten). The other two found new homes and are living like Kings with friends.

Blackie & Max we have had since they were pups, unfortunately Blackie died two years ago, and Max, who is now 16 years old, has had to make new friends with Dora.

For those of you who do not like animals or are allergic to them don't worry,  they do not live in the hostel and keep a very low profile when strangers are around.
