Rafters B&B

In a scenic area between the lovely Ox Mountains and the sea, Carol Rafter's friendly B&B feels as if it's in a world of its own
5 rooms (3 wheelchair friendly), all ensuite. Family and ground floor rooms available. Underfloor heating. Hospitality tray on arrival. Bar open Mon-Fri from 4pm, Sat & Sun from 12pm. Wheelchair friendly. Wifi. Garden. Parking abbreviations

In a scenic area between the lovely Ox Mountains and the sea, Carol Rafter's friendly B&B is only 17 kilometres from Sligo yet it feels as if it's in a world of its own.


Although the accommodation is in a more recent addition, it's beside the family's traditional bar, an old world pub that dates back to the 18th century. Full of atmosphere, it opens in the evening and is a lovely place to relax after a day out exploring (no dinner, but snacks are available).


The rooms, which include some on the ground floor, are comfortably traditional and have well maintained bathrooms and a bright and airy ambience. Along with all the usual amenities (tea/coffee trays, television) they have underfloor heating, which could be a nice surprise if the weather turns chilly.


The guest rooms are set well back from the road so you would hardly be aware of any traffic, and the outlook is of fields and mountains at the rear. Another attractive feature is a good sized garden with a sunny aspect; it is accessed through a large conservatory with plenty of comfy seating, which is also available for guests' use at any time and makes the house feel really welcoming and homely.


It's a very pleasant place to be based when exploring the area - Yeats Country and Carrowmore Megalithic Tombs are among the local attractions, also the famous fishing loughs, Lough Beltra and Lough Gill and, just beyond Sligo town, the wonderful Lissadell House will provide a memorable day out.


But the best thing about Rafters B&B is Carol Rafter herself. She has a very warm and easy way with people, so guests immediately feel at home. And, like all of the best Irish hosts, she bakes fresh brown bread for breakfast every day so your day will begin well, with the scent of baking wafting from the kitchen.
