The county town at the heart of Yeats Country, framed by Benbulben’s flat-topped ridge and the wooded shores of Lough Gill.
Sligo town sits where the River Garavogue flows from Lough Gill into Sligo Bay, with the distinctive tabletop shape of Benbulben visible to the north and the Ox Mountains rising to the south. It’s the main town of the northwest, with a genuine mix of medieval remains, Victorian streets and a lively arts and music scene, and it was the boyhood home of the poet W.B. Yeats, whose family connections to the area run through much of what the town promotes to visitors today.
A B&B in Sligo works as a base for the town itself, walkable in an afternoon, and for the wider landscape that inspired Yeats: Lough Gill and its Lake Isle of Innisfree, Benbulben and the Yeats family grave at Drumcliffe just north of town, and Carrowmore, one of Ireland’s largest and oldest megalithic cemeteries, only a short drive away.
The town also gives quick access to the coast: Strandhill and Rosses Point, both a short drive from the centre, are known for surfing and for their beaches and golf links respectively, so Sligo suits a stay that mixes literary and historical sightseeing with the sea.

Booking Rowanville Lodge direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Rowanville Lodge holds a 4-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
