3-Star Hotels in County Sligo

For those drawn to wild Atlantic scenery and ancient myth, County Sligo is the essential Irish escape. This is Yeats Country, where the poet’s spirit infuses the landscape, from the iconic flat-topped bulk of Benbulben to the serene Isle of Innisfree on Lough Gill. The coast here is dramatic, with the surf breaks of Strandhill attracting wave riders and the extraordinary Neolithic passage tomb of Queen Maeve’s Grave crowning the summit of Knocknarea.

Sligo Town makes a practical and lively base, with good restaurants, traditional pubs hosting live music, and convenient access to both coast and countryside. It suits active solo travellers and couples perfectly, with plenty of history and outdoor adventure. The region is best explored by car, though regional buses connect the town to key sights and Dublin’s airport is about a two-and-a-half-hour drive away.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 13 places to stay across the county. The selection is dominated by comfortable, good-value guesthouses and B&Bs, particularly around Sligo Town and the coastal villages, with a few modern hotels offering reliable convenience for visitors.
