As a resident for four years Carraig Abhainn is an ideal location for a student who is new to the area and has many advantages. These include its location from the college, directly across the road. Its security gates which provide security for yourself and your car. Facilities are practical and simple to use. Staff are extremely helpful and pleasant. The site is well maintained throughout the year.

Carraig Abhainn is ideal for first year students! It’s comfortable, cosy and very student-friendly. It’s so handy as it is so close to the college! I really enjoyed my time staying here as I made some great friends aswell!
