Marella's place an 'ecoescape'

The Omagh Hostel, which Kilcullen-born Marella Fyffe runs with her husband Bill has been recognised as a 'responsible ecoescape'.

The hostel emphasises eco-friendly practices in both its running and attractions, and has gathered a wide base of regular visitors as well as a constant stream of new ones.

Marella -- daughter of the late Tom and Carmel Byrne -- was recently delighted to find that the hostel merited three pages in a newly-published book, 'Ecoescape', written by journalist Catherine Mack.
