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.

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.

What a find 👍

The Driftwood is s small eight bed hotel. I stayed in room 8 which was like a mini suite. It was really quirky & so tastefully fitted out it made up for no view. My friend stayed in room 4 which was smaller than mine but has stunning views of the sea. We eat in the restaurant & food was surberb with excellent service. The girl on reception went above and beyond to make me feel wekcome & gave me a complimentary drink because my room wasnt ready at 2.30pm!!
