Sligo Travel Forum

I see nothing about the Gentry on any of the postings? Ben Bulben and Ross Pt. are associated with Them. Any locals or tourists have experience of Them?

Can anyone recommend a hotel or B&B in Sligo that is not too far from the train station? (Unless the train station is in a dreadful part of town that you'd discourage staying in.) Main concerns are something accessible to my 93-year-old mom who uses a push walker and can't do a lot of stairs at one time. Did you have occasion to use either taxi or bus from the station to the hotel or B&B? Do you recall the approximate cost?

Hi!
I'm interested in visit Sligo this summer with child and I want more information about Gillighan’s World, it seems a nice option for my nieces. Is a good place?
What can I visit in Sligo for two days?
Thank you in advance for your replays.

Going to Co. Sligo for three weeks this summer.I am an assistant to a writer and we will be doing research for a book while there. Where do you suggest we stay? We can stay anywhere in Co Sligo. Ideally, we would like to stay in a house in a village center where we can walk to eat, to a pub. We are open to all accommodations that offer comofort and have charm.

thinking of headin 2 sligo 4 a getaway and i like the sound of that pub u were on about, you said its formal dress code, i just wanted 2 no if i would look 2 out of place if i wore a dress and heels and just get dolled up :) pretty vain question but you know how it is :) thanks... louise

we were thinking of going from derry to galway then to belfast, oct 18-19, but think sligo is a better choice for driving etc. any good thoughts about b*b or farm in sligo?

Is there a laundramat in Sligo?? we will bw spending two weeks in ireland later this month. Our two day stop in Sligo is in the middle of our trip. Packing will be much easier if we knew we could do laundry while we wre in Sligo

I am going to Enniscrone in Sligo in july and I was wondering are their many places of historical interest near there. Also what all activites are there for three young children aged 4, 3 and 2. Love to hear from you.

hi,i believe my mothers surname came from a place called o'tarpaigh.in sligo.her name was tarpey,a good ancient irish name by all accounts.does this place exist to this day.

My husband and I have rented a cottage in Easkey for our base as we explore the coast. I can't find much information on the town except that it's well known for surfing. We also plan on getting up to Killybegs since this is where my ancestors Derry's are from and would love any information on the area from those who have traveled or live there. Thanks!
