“full marks”

Sligo is home to one of the major theatre venues in Ireland and as the Hawkswell Theatre celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, we decided to visit it. There are quite a few B&Bs in town but as always, its deciding on the right one. TripAdvisor is a good starting point in checking out B&Bs and also if the B&B has its own website, it is usually a good marker on reliability.
We took the directions on the website to try and find Treetops. The directions were hard to follow and the towns one-way system, added to the confusion. On arriving, we were greeted by a polite lady who was to be our host for our stay. The room was clean, tidy and had all the amenities one would come to expect from a B&B these days. Whilst the room was perhaps on the small side, it did have tea/coffee making facilities, en-suite and comfortable beds. The shower was not an electric power shower and seemed to be piped from the mains. Still, there was always a plentiful supply of hot water. Off street car-parking was also important.
Breakfast was a delight. Practically everything one could wish for was here; cereals, fruit, yoghurt, cheeses, toast and, of course, a cooked breakfast to order… all served with courtesy in an immaculate dining room. Breakfast was served right up until 9:30, so it would find particular appeal with the tourist - don’t miss it !!
There were problems however with accessing the wifi. We were able to get a signal by moving to another part of the property. Fine on this occasion when merely collecting emails but otherwise useless for periodic surfing. The servicing of the rooms was prompt and thorough and the rooms were generally heated well.
I most certainly would stay at Treetops again, if only because of the hospitality and facilities. Whilst there is always room for improvement with these businesses, we were very pleased with our choice on this occasion.

“Why isn't this number 1?!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

We had a lovely comfortable stay at Tree Tops B&B. From the moment I spoke to Doreen on the phone to book the room she was very friendly and accommodating. When we arrived she offered as a ground floor room so that we wouldn't have to drag our luggage upstairs. She even offered to rearrange the furniture in our room if needed! The breakfast was plentiful and filled us up for the day (my only very slight quibble was that my poached eggs were slightly overdone). Doreen advised us on local restaurants and pubs. It's just a shame that we were only there for one night, but if ever I am back in Sligo I will stay at Tree Tops. Thank you so much Doreen for being a wonderful hostess!

“A gracious hostess and a fabulous stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

We stayed two nights at Tree Tops--one on the way up to Donegal and one on the way back--all within a week. Doreen was the most gracious, welcoming, friendly, accommodating hostess. She had really great suggestions for dinner in town and directions to various sites along our travel route. The room was larger than most we had at some other B&Bs and the bed was so comfortable--unlike most Irish B&Bs. Upon waking on our first morning, we were greeted in the dining room with a huge buffet of delicious goodies to start your morning: scones, pancakes, waffles, fruits, nuts, cereals, cheeses--then we ordered our eggs and meat! I don't know how she does it. Doreen really took an interest in all her guests. Asking about their evening before, where they went and what they thought of the food where they ate, where they were going that day and give suggestions on other sites to see. The room was set up so that you would have no questions on how anything worked, including the code for getting WiFi, how to turn on the Skybox and restaurant suggestion postings on the back of the door. The artwork all around the house and in the rooms is eclectic and interesting. Doreen credits her husband with the love of art and for putting the displays together. Visitors are treated to a mini gallery. We loved our two stays with Doreen and would stay there anytime we are in Sligo town.

Room Tip: We stayed in two different rooms--one facing the road and one facing the side/back. The back facing...

“Friendly, comfortable and unbelievably good art on the walls.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

I stayed at Tree Tops B&B because of the reviews on Tripadvisor but was so glad that I did. Doreen is a lovely hostess, so good with directions and the desire to make your stay special. The taste level of the host family is also superb. While Doreen credits her husband with the art work displayed throughout the house, and guest rooms, it is surely a testimony to mutual love of art and design. My travel companion and I, both artists, were provided with an extra treat of viewing some fine work.

“A wonderful experience of Irish hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Stayed with family members in September. A lovely place to stay. As a Tourism lawyer, I spend most of the year in hotels all over the world. At Treetops, the facilities are very good indeed, spotless, comfortable and in a nice area convenient for the city-centre. The breakfas is absolutely superb. But what makes it a wonderful experience is the delighful owner, Doreen. Her warmth, kindness, advice and good humour are a credit to the hospitality industry in Ireland. The price was an absolute bargain.
