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.
