"I really liked this hotel- and the restaurant. Staff were 5 stars too! The 30Euros to use the hot tub was a bit steep- it would be great if the guests could use the amenities of the spa for a discounted rate- but all in, I loved the place- thanks Sligo :)"

The receptionist that checked me in and out was very friendly. She also upgraded me, which made my day. Mind you its my first time being upgraded. The room was lovely and spotless.
That you!!

I recently had a 2 night stay over Christmas in Castle Dargan and am more than happy with hotel and the service we received. The food was good with plenty of variety in the restaurant and the room was large and very comfortable. The hotel is located in rural Sligo but ideally situated near Lough Gill where there is a lovely drive along with plenty of forest walks enroute and also a short drive to Sligo town. I didn't use the spa so cannot comment on that but there certainly was plenty to offer...

The exterior of the hotel looks a little dated but inside the decor is excellent and the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. We found the staff very accommodating, warm and efficient. The food is top quality and was served within a short period of time and the view from our room and the dining were outstanding. The room was spacious, clean and well laid out. We regularly stay in hotels around Ireland and this was by far the best, we will definitely be returning and have no problem in recommending...
