We had a brief but lovely stay. What a beautiful hostess. We arrived quite late and that was no issue. Had a brilliant sleep. Lovely rooms. A delicious breakfast. And she even led us into an ATM and posted the receipt as I forgot to ask for one. Thankyou for a brilliant stay. More

Graet B&B used by the family as a base for trip to Sligo. We booked three rooms including the room with the large clean bathroom across the hall. Very clean and comfortable and with the worst rain on record lashing down outside, we were toasty warm. Mary was a great host with the legendary bountiful breakfast every morning. Homemade bread...

We found a most splendid B&B just outside Sligo on the road to Rosses Point. You couldn't ask for a more comfortable accommodation. Mary Scanlon's inviting, spotless and lovely home is the perfect setting to explore Sligo Town and Yeats Country -- and she, herself, exudes a special warmth and friendliness. Charming, beautifully appointed rooms, delicious and bountiful Irish breakfasts... More

Our room was spacious, clean, newly updated, and the bathroom was fully equipped with a lovely hot shower. Mary recommended that we go out to... More

The Information Centre in Sligo offered us Philmar House as our B&B accommodation. Mary was very welcoming and invited us in to view the room. It was perfect with our own ensuite, Tv and tea & coffee facilities. Breakfast in the morning was beautiful - enough to set us off for the day without having to think about eating all... More

I stayed here with my brother as we were going to a wedding in the hotel nearby. The location was perfect, only a few minutes from the hotel. We stayed in a lovely new room, very clean and everything was brand new. Only a recent refurbishment. The breakfast the following morning was perfect, and plenty of it! The lady of... More

Situated in good location, close to Sligo town, Rosses Point and also Strandhill which is great for surfing etc! Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice. Good value... More

We have stayed at Philmar house on a number of occasions in the last 3 years as part of the tennis weekend at the nearby sligo tennis club. the place is just across the road from the Radisson Hotel, where you can drop up for a quick drink, lunch or dinner. It is also only a few miles from Sligo... More

Thank you for your kind comments Paul and Joy, I really enjoyed your stay with us and I'm glad you did too. We must have had the neighbours dogs staying with us that weekend too because we only have three but perhaps they heard about the good breakfasts too! More
