Great find

A lovely place to stay, with a friendly warm welcome, amazing location, and a very comfortable and tastefully decorated interior. We had dinner and breakfast, and it was delicious, well-presented and good value. Would definitely recommend The Driftwood.

We ate in the restaurant downstairs- food was delicious. We had evening dinner and breakfast. Breakfast not included in the booking price, so €15/ person we thought was quite expensive when it was a choice of one dish with coffees/ teas. Ideal location, helpful staff but again for €160 room price, I would have liked a room with a view. The bedrooms are quirky and tastefully decorated but ours was quite dark as it's located at the back of the building. I had requested a front room a week before arriving , if one was available, but property did not reply to the message. I was told on arrival, that they'd already been booked up anyway. The TV in the room displayed 'no signal ' for every station. Otherwise, a good place to stay and I would definitely stay there again, but will know to request a room with a view upon booking .

Gorgeous! The property is right on the ocean with beautiful Mountain View’s. Inside is impeccably decorated. It’s a five minute drive to an ocean cold plunge and sauna with a view of Benbulbin. The bed is comfy. As an American, the shower is 10/10 luxury, and downstairs the food is incredible. We will be back again! No notes!

Everything you need under one roof on scenic route

Lovely place in a great location - a great find. Service was professional and efficient. Room and bed perfectly comfy and clean. Loved the Voya bath products in the bathroom and nice to have bath/shower choice. Also, restaurant on site has lovely, with nice varied menu. Would be nice to include breakfast with stay as standard and give preference to staying guests for reservations in the restaurant or discount on one night.

Everyone and everything about this property was great. A taxi brought me in from Sligo and only took cash ( I found out when I arrived), I found a woman who was working in the kitchen that gave me cash from her pocket (the tills weren't opened yet). The landlord came over, checked me in early, got me some extra cash, paid back the other woman, chatted, etc. The rooms were really beautifully designed, the food and the drink were great, and it was a lovely place to getaway for a day. I'd love to go back and visit.
