Everyone and everything about this property was great. A taxi brought me in from Sligo and only took cash ( I found out when I arrived), I found a woman who was working in the kitchen that gave me cash from her pocket (the tills weren't opened yet). The landlord came over, checked me in early, got me some extra cash, paid back the other woman, chatted, etc. The rooms were really beautifully designed, the food and the drink were great, and it was a lovely place to getaway for a day. I'd love to go back and visit.

Such a beautiful spot! Loved this inn. The staff was delightful. The rooms were gorgeous and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Rosses Point a delightful quiet spot outside of Sligo Town. Beautiful path and beach to run on too. Oh, and food also excellent.

What a find 👍
The Driftwood is s small eight bed hotel. I stayed in room 8 which was like a mini suite. It was really quirky & so tastefully fitted out it made up for no view. My friend stayed in room 4 which was smaller than mine but has stunning views of the sea. We eat in the restaurant & food was surberb with excellent service. The girl on reception went above and beyond to make me feel wekcome & gave me a complimentary drink because my room wasnt ready at 2.30pm!!

Nice…
It’s a Restsurant with bespoke bedrooms overlooking Rosses Point. Idyllic setting. Staff cheerful and friendly. Perfect for a beak with partner. One quibble, I left around 8.45 am. Staff had not arrived by then and there was no way of paying the bill. This had not been explained to me on check-In. Subject to that really good.

best hotel I’ve ever stayed in
I fell in love with this hotel and didn’t want to leave. It is designed beautifully, not the normal generic feel but full of warmth and character. Sipping wine in the comfy chairs in the room gazing out over the sea or soaking in the tub listening to music set the scene. The staff where amazing so friendly and attentive. The restaurant food was also fantastic I didn’t feel the need to eat anywhere else and the pancake breakfast was a treat! Highly recommended for a relaxing get away.
