Frequently asked questions

Which area of Glencolmcille is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Glencolmcille for beaches is the main village area itself, particularly if you're looking for easy access to the stunning Silver Strand.

The village of Glencolmcille is a small, linear settlement, with most amenities, including the Folk Village Museum and local shops, clustered along the main road. Staying here puts you within a short drive or a pleasant walk of the area's most renowned beach. The road to Silver Strand, a horseshoe-shaped beach backed by cliffs, branches off just south of the main village.

For families, staying in or very near the village is ideal. You'll be close to the beach for days out building sandcastles and splashing in the waves. The convenience of having local shops and eateries nearby means less travel time and more relaxation.
How much does a beach hotel in Glencolmcille cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Glencolmcille vary, but you can find a great deal from £91 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week.
