Sligo is a lovely place, both for itself and its location to explore lots of interesting places nearby. There are lots of cafes and restaurants to suit every taste. The man in the tourist office was so nice and helpful. We were sorry that we couldn't go on the walking tour It sounded very interesting . The one way traffic system is a bit confusing but we got used to it quickly. Actually, I'd advise people to park the car and just walk.. its much quicker.

Our stay at the Clayton was brilliant, room was lovely big large king-size bed room was lovely and warm very quiet, breakfast was amazing loads to choose from and plenty of it, staff great very attentive. Pool was great as was the jacuzzi. Lisa from Derry.

The cottage is perfect in all ways, there is enough space for 6 persons, the view and peace and quiet is unbelievable. For sightseeing, there is enough in the area to fill weeks of your holiday. Hiking and fishing is also easy, there is so much in the county to hike and fish.

So many beautiful places to visit around Sligo. Highly recommend taking a drive out to see Classiebawn Castle (although to note this is a private residence so viewing from a respectful distance), continuing around the Mullaghmore loop and visiting the harbour, returning via Rosses Point and saying hello to the Metal Man, and popping back into Sligo for dinner. Lots of lovely food options in Sligo. Also highly worth seeing is Yeat's Grave, the Devils Chimney and Glencar waterfall, all highly accessible and very beautiful.

Sligo is one of my go to places. It's 2 hours from Belfast on good roads. For such a small city it has great food, a buzzing cultural vibe, some of the most amazing scenery and historical sites (both ancient and modern). Visiting ancient sites like Queen Maeve's tomb or Creevekeely you can transport yourself back to megalith times and imagine and the time of ancient Celtic myths.

Parking was a problem for some local sites. There are many amazing ancient sites and monasteries within a short drive, but some were difficult to access for older persons due to the lack of convenient parking. There are lots of beautiful beaches, and Inishcrone town is excellent. It has a beautiful beach and good pub food. I would advise booking for the pub meals in advance but there are plenty of takeaway options, and the pubs allow people to sit outside with drinks, and their takeaways from other nearby venues, - if they cannot get seated inside for food service.
