It was clean and warm
There was no TV in room no tea/coffee in room No choice for breakfast if you didn’t have full Irish there was nothing else no yogurt fruit or porridge and no effort made to meet our needs for breakfast
Super freundlicher Gastgeber, der selbst das Frühstück zubereitet
Einzelbetten, könnte ein bisschen sauberer sein, etwas beengt
Damian est un hôte très chaleureux. Il ne sait pas quoi faire pour se rendre utile. Je ne comprends pas les messages négatifs à son sujet.
Damien welcomed us and made us comfortable. 5min walk to McDermotts restaurant for a lovely dinner.
Nothing
Damian was a very lovely host. We booked a twin single room. It was a little on the small size, had wardrobes and a night stand. The ensuite was good. Damian offered a lovely breakfast in the morning.
Bed was a little uncomfortable
Možnost si vyprat a využít kuchyň. Parkování přímo u domu.
Člověk se tam necítí dobře. Má pořád pocit, že ho majitel u všeho hlídá. Nelíbilo se nám, že nás majitel ráno vzbudil tím, že vším dole v kuchyni bouchal (asi ne úmyslně) a pak s námi i snídal u jednoho stolu. Nemluvě o tom, jak neustále celý náš pobyt chrchlal. Pro nás naštěstí jsme musely odjet o den dřív, než bylo v plánu. Je divné sdílet ubytování přímo s majitelem, který vás pomalu u všeho kontroluje, nebylo tam skoro žádné soukromí a hlavně jsme tam s ním byly sami 2 ženy.
Frühstück, Parkplatz,netter Besitzer, sauber, ruhige Lahe
Haus hellhörig, matratzen etwas durchgelegen und im Zimmer sehr warm. Unterkunft schon recht abseits also Auto benötigt
La disponibilité et l'accueil de l'hôte. Le partage du petit déjeuner très copieux préparé par Damian
La literie mériterait un renouvellement.
Damian, notre hôte est très sympathique. La chambre est petite mais très confortable. Le lieu est très calme. Je recommande
Damian was friendly, welcoming, and made a good breakfast. Room was clean and served our needs. We had access to the kitchen for the times we brought food back to the residence. For us, the location was excellent, with easy access to Carrowkeel, the Keash Caves and the Coleman Irish Music Centre. Easy parking out front. Would stay again if in the area.
Honestly, the accommodation met our needs. No complaints.
Lage, Preis-Leistung, Frühstück, Sauberkeit, Flexibilität
I liked the breakfast and enjoyed tyhe company of the host. He was valuable in my search of ancestors who lived locally.
Mainly bec ause of my poor attention, I was expecting a hotel not a B&B, but having got over that, it was fine.
清潔で必要なものは全て揃っていた 朝食付きでお得感があった ホストが親切
Hospitality was 100% and very helpful .
It was great. The room was just what we needed, and it met all expectations.
The location for what we were doing was a bit far away, but other than that, no complaints here.
Great little spot with very welcoming host :)
Nice host good location very clean
No TV in room , mattresses need to be changed
waren des Öfteren in dieser Unterkunft und alles gut Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Host very welcoming and cooked fresh breakfast each morning. Had the best sleep of the week here. Quiet location. Home from home.
Could do with a hairdryer in the room.
Our host was highly conscientious. We enjoyed our stay here and our hot breakfasts.
Location is amazing. Close proximity of city centre. Very well located and Quiet.
A bit of squeaky noise with doors which is very easy to ignore in comparison with other positive things which this place offers.
Absolutely nothing
Shoe off when you walked in you were told No lights left on Shared bathroom
Great location for someone like me who was using public transportation and wanted to hike to the megalithic sites. The residence was a hop, skip, and a jump from the bus stop. McDermotts is a great place to eat. The host was very kind. My bedroom with a private bathroom was very comfortable.
Śniadanie smaczne, produkty świeże, bardzo miły gospodarz, który czekał na nas w progu i udostępnił nam kuchnię do dyspozycji, mogliśmy korzystać bez skrępowania.
Wszystko nam odpowiadało.

Gastgeber war bemüht

Staying at Castlebaldwin Country Residence was like being at home from home, easy access to the motor way and a good central location for daily travelling
There is nothing we could find fault with, but could suggest the addition of fruit/cereal/yoghurt to the cooked breakfast menu.
Comfortable bedding. Good rear view from property Breakfast provided
No facilities, eg television. No tea/coffee making facilities Bed change carried out by client
Close to main highway and MeDermott’s hotel has an extensive menu. Damian was at the door to meet us and met every need. Lovely rural view from kitchen. Neolithic cairns close by
Mattresses were soft and could do with an upgrade.
Friendly. Offered us a lift into sligo but we made other plans to get in about while visiting relatives
No kettle in room No tv in room. Double room- had to use main bathroom- host said hot water available for shower in morning only as it was on a pump etc so shared other onsuite shower as other family members in that room. Room altho clean extremely basic Break fast was pre made and kept warm in the oven No cereals/ juice Very small potion with no option on egg type given scrambled on 1st morning we then asked for fried following day which was accommodated but pre cooked and left in oven .. Personally eggs should be made to order . We felt awkward whilst eating breakfast as host sat at table with us so we couldn't have a personal chat .never known this in any places we have stayed Was offered use of kitchen for a drink and lounge but as it was the hosts personal space we declined Unsure if host has health issues as a loud barking type throat clearing noise with was heard through out the house and this put me off attending my breakfast. These issues have been read by us yesterday on other reviews. And this is an honest account of our stay . Sadly we won't be stopping again at this property in the future. This is basically a family home with two rooms let out and host using a 3rd room
The house was clean and the breakfast adequate ( just )
felt uncomfortable from arrival and over the two nights. Actually stayed out late the second night rather than go back.
The host accommodated my need for a gluten free breakfast - which is very appreciated.
The property was very clean and the host was very helpful.
Clean, comfortable house. Great breakfast. Friendly host.
Clean place. Accessible bathroom. Friendly and helpful and hands on host that really enjoys company of the guest.
Lack of the tv in the bedroom. House very quiet to the point it make us uncomfortable. Tv available to watch in the living room which is OK but we more wanted to have the time only for ourselfs. There was nk other noise in the house bar us and the host. All other noise was very noticeable. Lack of information regarding Internet. Had no connection to it throughout the stay and felt bit uncomfortable to ask about it. Not an Irish breakfast and vegititerian option very limited.
Everything, lovely quiet place, nice breakfast, very clean, home atmosphere 100% recommend
We stayed for two nights and chose sleepy castlebaldwin, as it is ideally situated for tours in and around the sligo area by car. Damian is a fairly quiet host but always concerned for his guest's wellbeing. And when when you are treated to some home made Guinness Bread, you know you chose well.
Basic. One pillow on bed. Scratchy linen, old. In someone's house. Bathroom not attached to bedroom. Other people staying there. Breakfast with host, bit uncomfortable. No hot water. Thin walls so hard to relax. Not close to anything. Need a car.
Central location
Nice breakfast, clean room and quiet location.
Very nice and accommodating host, makes a great breakfast. I definitely recommend staying here, the location is easily reached by car and close to a pretty lake. Within driving distance of Donegal and Sligo.
We really enjoyed our stay with Damian. Everything was nice and clean, and Damian was really kind to us, even offering us a ride. We'd definitely recommend it!
Damien was pleasant, but the room was extremely small and clearly situated as part of his home, which felt awkward. It was clean, but uncomfortable (hard bed, two inch thick pillow, thin towels, and a sink so small I had trouble washing my face). We had booked for two nights but only stayed one opting to eat the cost of the second night for a more comfortable stay in Sligo.
Too small. Hard bed and pillow.
This accommodation was amazing and by far exceeded my expectations. The location was very calm, the host was very welcoming and helpful. The room was very clean and had everything you needed - a comfortable bed, a nice clean bathroom, and enough space for two people. On top of all that, the host prepared a very tasty breakfast for me and we had a pleasant chat. I highly recommend it!
The Wi-fi signal could have been stronger, but it was not a big issue.
The stay was very nice the house was so clean and very welcoming Damien was a ture gentleman and wonderful host .The breakfast was excellent and the location was idyllic
Leaving to go home had a wonderful week stay .
The host was a very pleasant chatty wee man who has lots of great stories to tell of the various sections of his life from all corners of the globe and closer to home
The location was a bit isolated and for a non driver like myseld if you missed the 1 bus that passed through the village you have the option of a taxi or a 5 hour wait for the next bus
Lovely Host Damian made sure we had a great stay! Nice and clean rooms, very quiet and good breakfast. Can’t recommend it enough
House very tidy and clean. Lovely host and located closely to the main roads
Damien was a super host!
All good, can't think of any negatives!
The host was very helpful, welcoming and accommodating. He gave us a lift to collect our car the next morning.
Clean and comfortable. Good breakfast. Easy parking. Damian was a nice host. Good location for Lough Arrow. There is a pub restaurant Mc Dermott's close by open five days a week.
Maybe a TV in the room. Not much to see in Castlebaldwin itself.
Nice view of the horses in the back
Did not like it except for the bedroom view onto a field containing horses and their foals.
No hot water to wash or shower unless host was told a time it was required. Shoes had to be removed before entering the property. No tea making facilities in the room. No TV in the room, private bathroom was located outside of the bedroom with a very squeaky door that was so loud you tried to avoid going to the bathroom during the night for fear of waking the other guests who were staying. Bedroom door had to be pushed had to be able to lock it. (TLC required for both doors) Meals had to be eaten at a communal kitchen table with the host. Tea was available to be made, provided you went down to the kitchen. Location of property in a corner of a housing estate. None of which were stated to us before or after booking the property.
I liked nothing
Everything
Quiet country position with casual welcoming atmosphere. Good breakfast
Damian was a mine of information when it came to giving advice on local genealogy. He also went out of his way to personally introduce me to locals that gave me additional information about my potential ancestors. Nothing was too much trouble for Damian, and he personally ensured my trip was fruitful and successful.
There were no dislikes
The host Damian was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure needs were met.
Good location, exactly what we wore looking for!
Didn’t have a TV but was nice to chill out
Damien is a great host who really takes his responsibilities seriously. He does everything he can to make the guests feel welcome and at home. We had a comfortable room with everything one needs for a nice stay, nice bathroom and spacious beds.
A matter of personal preference but the mattresses were a bit soft.
Our host was a very pleasant gentlemen who took the time to learn about me and my friend during our stay. He was able to give me a contact name to help me trace back my heritage of my great, great, great, greatgrandmother who was born in Sligo County. He gave us ideas of places to visit and even offered to drive us into the Sligo Parade if we needed. He would accommodate us for whatever time we wanted to have our breakfast. Very clean and quiet place to stay. Would recommend this host and his place to say at.
Damian was very courteous and polite, providing very interesting information and insights about the local area. There's a lovely bar and restaurant within a 5/10 minute walk for food and drinks and the main roads are close by for Boyle and Sligo (and beyond) or Carrowkeel even closer.
Diamen was a true gentleman, had plenty of time for us. Even gave us a lift into Sligo town . The house was very clean and well maintained. The bedroom was lovely and warm when we got back after a day out. The breakfast was very good and well presented.
The breakfast was lovely our host went out of his way to accommodate us on our food request. The house was very clear I could smell my bed sheets were fresh out the laundry. The room was big enough for the 2 of us with 2 single beds. Our host was talkative and friendly and knew when we wanted to be left alone. I thought the price was great especially because breakfast was included. It was about 12 min drive into Sligo city center which didn't feel far at all. I would most definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone I meet.
Nothing.
Breakfast was excellent made to your order. Nothing was a bother to the host
Every need was met
The breakfast was good
There was no shop within walking distance
Damian is a super friendly and helpful host. Road access to the property was really simple. A real home from home feel.
Nothing much. Would have preferred a TV in the bedroom but was lovely that Damian invited us into his living room.
Damien the host is so friendly and helpful. Always on hand if you need anything
The hot water wasn’t enough for 2 showers
Damian the host was very friendly and accomodating. Great breakfast. Highly recommended.
Our genial host, Damian, joined us for breakfast 'en famile' French-style which is a nice touch and helps guests to engage with each other.
Although breakfast was fine for me, some guests may like to see some choice being offered.
Enjoyed the breakfast each morning. Host was very friendly & allowed us to use his fridge for extra drinks & snacks we had with us. He even allowed us to use his washing machine to do our laundry which was a great help
I found it hard to adjust the temperature of the water in the shower each day,but everything else was fine for our 2 nights there
Excellent location and hearty, hot breakfast!
No tea or coffee in the room. Choice of Apple or orange juice for breakfast would have been goo.
Very neat tidy and clean. Host is very friendly and helpful.
Nothing really. Lived up to expectations.
Convenient location with efficient booking in. Damien is a very friendly host and room was clean and tidy. Parking outside property. Flexible on breakfast times as I had a couple of early mornings. Pub 5 minutes walk down road serves good food.
Nothing really was very good value for price.
Nestled at the foot of Carrowkeel and a mere 15-minute drive from Sligo, with excellent motorway access, this accommodation offers a blend of nature and convenience. Damian's apartment radiates a homely ambiance, marked by cleanliness and comfort. Our room was perfectly tailored for travellers, boasting an en-suite bathroom equipped with a bathtub. Breakfast was a delightful experience; served on hot plates, it provided an opportunity for delightful conversations with our gracious host. Damian, with his affable nature, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Noteworthy amenities include ample parking and proximity to the walkable Sai Sanctuary for Donkeys and Carrowkeel. The surrounding offers fantastic local attractions, making it a must-visit spot. Highly recommended!
