LOCATION & TRAVEL
From USA, Canada
For our pals in the US and our buds in Canada - just a hop, skip, and jump over the Atlantic!
Fly into either Dublin Airport or Shannan Airport. From there, it is approx. 3 hours or 2 hours drive to Ballina, respectively.
We’re organizing a bus on Thursday morning to Ballina. Please keep us posted on your travel plans, but we’ll be collecting formal plans from guests at a later date.
From England
For our mates in the UK - it really is just a hop, skip, and barely a jump across the St. George’s Channel.
Easiest route is to fly into Knock Ireland West Airport. From there, it is a 40 min drive to Ballina.
From Ireland
That place you went for the discos in the 80s…
WHERE TO STAY
Many of our guests have not been to Ireland before, so we’re encouraging folks to “taylor” (ha) this trip however they’d like.
There are some beautiful Airbnb's in the area, either along the river, or into the countryside.
