Sligo B&Bs
B&Bs in Sligo for Yeats Country and the surf coast
Sligo carries the name Yeats Country for good reason. The poet W.B. Yeats is buried at Drumcliffe churchyard in the shadow of Benbulben, and Lissadell House nearby was a home he knew well. Away from that literary thread, Sligo town and the beaches at Strandhill and Easkey give the county its own modern draw for surfers and anyone after a working Atlantic town.
Sligo town on the Garavogue
Sligo town sits on the River Garavogue, which runs from Lough Gill out to the sea, and it holds the county's main concentration of everyday amenities. It works as a central base for day trips out to Drumcliffe, Strandhill or Carrowmore, none of which sit far from the town centre.
Strandhill and Easkey
Strandhill is one of Ireland's best-known surf beaches, with schools and hire shops set up for beginners right along the promenade, while Easkey further along the coast draws a more experienced surfing crowd. Both give a proper beach-town stay rather than a purely rural one.
B&Bs near Drumcliffe and W.B. Yeats country
Drumcliffe churchyard holds the grave of W.B. Yeats beneath Benbulben, and Lissadell House, associated with the poet and the Gore-Booth family, sits a short drive further on. A B&B in this stretch of north Sligo suits anyone building a trip around the poet's life and the landscape that shaped his work.

Not sure where to base yourself?Sligo B&Bs near Carrowmore, Tubbercurry and Gurteen
Inland Sligo moves at a slower pace than the coast, holding one of Europe's largest megalithic cemeteries alongside quieter farming towns that see far less passing traffic than Sligo town or Strandhill.
Carrowmore and Knocknarea
Carrowmore megalithic cemetery, one of the largest in Europe, sits within sight of Knocknarea, the hill long associated with Queen Maeve. Both lie a short drive from Sligo town, making them an easy addition to a coastal-focused stay.
Tubbercurry, Gurteen and Riverstown
Tubbercurry and Gurteen in south Sligo, along with Riverstown to the east, give a quieter rural alternative for visitors happy to base themselves away from the coast. Ballisodare, closer to Sligo town, sits at the point where several of these inland roads meet the main routes north.
