The Driftwood

We stayed here on our first night in Ireland. The room, one of the sea view ones, was lovely and the bath was very relaxing. We had a meal in the restaurant in the evening, good atmosphere and well cooked food. Breakfast was also good quality. Would definitely recommend if looking for somewhere to stay or eat in this area of Sligo.

On a recent trip to Rosses point, we didn’t stay but took a chance we could get breakfast at the Driftwood. They were very welcoming and accommodating. The eggs Benedict were delicious and the coffee was so good. Berenice had served us and when we popped in later that evening hoping to get a table before heading home to Dublin, she was there again, still as warm and friendly as that morning. She looked after us promptly and with professionalism. The wings are gorgeous, the messe plate delicious and the monkfish and prawns gratin was something we’ll be coming back for. Thank you Berenice and all at the Driftwood.

Wow … just fab! Room #8 so comfortable, a little bit of heaven. Lovely staff. No negative reports. Thank you for the lovely accommodation and breakfast. Pancakes were tasty, Eggs and avocado were delicious. Lovely cosy stove in the breakfast room/restaurant. Will be back

The restaurant is fabulous!! And the staff and food make it amazing!! It looks small from the exterior but is quite spacious inside. Frlm the waiter who seated us to the waitress that gave us the bill, all of the staff were so attentive and on their game! They were friendly and helpful and most of all good at their jobs!! The food was so tasty and the portions decent. Thank you so much for the service, the food and delicious wine!! We can't wait to come back!!

The rooms are above the Restaurant and tidy and cosy. We had a room with a view over the sea shore. Breakfast is in the restaurant downstairs and full service with ample choice. Parking is not on the premises, but on the road outside, subject to availability. The shower head in our bathroom was a bit defective which effected the water flow, otherwise we had no complaint. with our room and amenities. The restaurant is busy and one should make reservations in advance. We were slightly disappointed with the portions served and food preparation, but we are not oficionados of seafood which they specialise in.

What can I say about this place ! You have to visit The Driftwood in Rosses Point Co Sligo. It’s by far one of the best experiences I’ve ever had staying anywhere. A boutique style property owned by a husband and wife team this place ticks all the boxes weather it’s the food your after which is superb or relaxation the Driftwood has it all. The rooms are decorated very tastefully all different themes and unbelievably comfortable beds. Some have free standing cast iron baths in the rooms with very good showers and if your lucky enough to get a front room a stunning sea view too. The food in the restaurant is top class also with a great atmosphere and stove lighting in winter months. Proprietor Paidi is also a chef and oversees all things food here. The bar is great also. The breakfast is amazing and cooked to order. This is definitely one to put on your list of places to stay. 10/10 to all the team in the Driftwood. Can’t wait to return.
