Just back from a weekend in TurfnSurf and I must say feeling all the better for it! The hostel does…read morea deal where they pick you up from Dublin on Friday evening and drop you back on Sunday afternoon, give you two night's B&B, and two day's surfing lessons for the all-in price of 120 euro. Pretty incredible value. Aside from the value, a few comments on the rest of the set up: - The staff stood out over everything - exceptionally friendly, really cool guys & girls. So helpful too, fun and just great to be around. - Everything runs in a timely way like a well-oiled machine. They've got this whole thing down pat. - The beds! I was in a four bed dorm and it was soooooo comfy. They had those flannel sheets on the bed you used to have when you were a kid. Gorgeous to get into after being out in the cold sea. Hot showers too. Thank betojaysis. - They put a BBQ on the Saturday night for an extra tenner. There was a band playing and it was a lovely atmosphere. The only thing I'd say here is get in early if you want a decent feed. We waited til the queue went down and got a bit stumped, but just get your survival food instincts on ;-) - We were in a huge group - surf is popular in the summer! About 50 altogether I think. We were all brought to the beach together for the lesson and there were I think 5 instructors. It was all managed really well and you could get the guys to give you more feedback or less, depending on your preference. I'd say if you were looking for an in-depth kind of teaching, you'd be better off just coming to stay on your own bat and then getting lessons separately as it is more of a group buzz - really all depends on your preference. I'd also say that I'd definitely liked to have stayed out there longer than two hours, so if you would like to be splashin around all day, I think there is an option to hire your board / suit and just stay out there yourself. - The hostel is perfectly located right on the seafront, so you can grab yourself a a drink or a cup of tea and sit outside the front and watch the sun go down. All in all, such a cool thing to do on a weekend, a lovely spot with really fun staff that really want you to enjoy yourself too. Winner.

We went to Bundoran for a weekend of surfing with a group of people. We left Dublin Friday early…read moreevening and got there around 10pm. The city is really nice. The people at Turf N Surf are super cool an friendly. The houses are some good bed and breakfast. I would definitely strongly recommend this place for a surf weekend, or kayak or paddle board. Lot of fun in a nice little sea side town.
