Lovely home and lovely hosts. A little out of the way, but a comfortable base to explore the area or just stop for the night
Beautiful scenic location overlooking a lake. This is an excellent place to stay and great value. Very friendly welcome and great breakfast.
Fantastic place to stay breakfast was excellent and fully enjoyed the stay value for money stunning views
We loved staying here! The accommodations were perfect and our host was so very kind. I’d highly recommend!
We had a very enjoyable stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the freshly prepared breakfast was delicious. The location is out of the way, but it has a very nice view, and it is quiet. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and their border collie, Molly, gave us a wonderful show bringing in the sheep for the evening (they have a working hobby farm).
A beautiful place, right in the Irish countryside. Super clean, comfortable and very hospitable. We loved it.
Mary was excellent host . The place clean n tidy , would definitely stay there again
Absolute gem of a B&B with wonderfully welcoming hosts, a great room with comfortable bed and fully private bathroom with shower. The breakfast truly was outstanding, the location lovely and quiet but not too far from the main road. Highly recommend, as good as a 4 four star hotel at a fraction of the price. Excellent!
Excellent view and accommodations! Property was amazing!
Wonderful homely B&B. Lovely hostess and host. Fantastic views.
B&B was very clean and cozy! It was a perfect place to stay near Sligo!
Another brilliant stay.. thank you Noeleen
Very comfortable, excellent host. The weather was bad but our host gave us some great ideas for outings. Really enjoyed our visit to Sligo and the surrounding area.
We enjoyed our stay, our host was lovely and the scenery was beautiful but we were away from being able to buy anything. The town close by was closed. Our host kindly enough made us some dinner
The kindness of the owner. Everything was good
The owners were very friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious. Beautiful view. Owners were very accommodating and we loved their precious dog Molly.
Everything
An excellent place to stay. The couple that runs the B&B are very sweet and welcoming. The place is clean with great views and the breakfast is phenomenal.
Such a beautiful view and we loved the lambs and the donkey, Jack. Our bed in our room was a bit uncomfortable, but our other traveling companions said their bed was good. We really enjoyed breakfast and appreciated that the host took good care of us even though she had something unexpected come up. We had a lovely visit!
We really enjoyed staying there. Lovely host and beautiful landscape by their farm.
Location and property are incredible. Host and her dog were amazing. Breakfast was great. The view from their home was beautiful. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend staying here
A beautiful spot in the countryside. The peace and quiet, along with the friendly hosts, make this the perfect place to relax.
We had a serene and relaxing visit at Hillcrest B&B. Noeleen is a wonderful host and gave us wonderful suggestions where to visit and hike in Yeats Country and beyond! Our accommodation was clean and comfortable, and our daily breakfast was complete with farm fresh eggs, pancakes, porridge and pastries. We so enjoyed being part of a working farm, and the views of Lough Arrow were nothing short of stunning, especially at sunset. Thank you again, Noeleen and Kieran for a lovely time, and we will surely be back again for another visit!
This was fantastic! It’s a bit off the road on a farm which we really appreciate. The room was comfy and our hostess was the bestest, friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was wonderful. The common room was large and comfortable. We wished we could have stayed longer. And the food at McDermott’s Pub was really good.
Comfortable beds, lovely larger room, view over lake was amazing.
A very pleasant stay and a delicious breakfast whilst enjoying the beautiful view
Wonderful property host was friendly and helpful The breakfast was lovely The views tremendous Wish we could have stayed longer
Wonderful hosts, had a wonderful stay
Fantastic views, great hostess, beautiful home.
Quiet room, great homemade breakfast. I loved seeing the birds in the pastures among the sheep and cattle. Very friendly and enjoyable hosts. The day was warm so we had a couple of flies sneak in the open windows. Our only complaint which was minor:)
I just loved my stay at Hillcrest, such a beautiful location, very scenic, very warm welcome, everything was just perfect for me
Beautiful home with gracious host. Breakfast was delicious and we received thoughtful input on our travel itinerary. Highly recommend!
An excellent B&B which I would happily use again.
Hillcrest B&B was an amazing stay for me! The hostess was very kind and friendly, breakfast was delicious(Best eggs and bacon ever!), the room was very comfortable and cozy, and I felt very safe staying there. Our hostess was especially wonderful to talk to and recommended beautiful sights for us to see on our journey.
Stunning views! Gracious hosts. Very Clean and quiet. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommended.
A real gem with first class facilities and truly welcoming hosts.
Lovely place to stay for a quiet get away if you wanted that. I stayed one night only for a course the next day, but I would definitely consider staying there again in the future for a leisurely break with family. Noleen the host was lovely.
Beautiful property hosted by beautiful people
Quite remote so very peaceful, and some interesting places to explore.
Very comfortable room, great breakfast and it was lovely to see the calves, lambs and Donkey outside our bedroom window.
Very enjoyable one night stay in nice bedroom with ensuite shower and WC. Very nice breakfast in the morning.
A fabulous stay in a lovely B and B. Was so well minded by Noeleen. Delicious breakfast.
Great host and conversation.
If you want a quiet retreat. Go here. Totally opposite of pub hoping. And, if you are like us. THIS IS THE PLACE ! super great people.
Probably one of my favorite locations I stayed in all of Ireland. The breakfast was an amazing spread and she will also make you something hot to order. Lovely room with an amazing view overlooking the lake. Not much to do nearby so the perfect getaway in the country! Will absolutely book again if available when I'm back.
Excellent hosts. Very enjoyable stay. Will be back
We spend one night and everything was so nice and comfortabel. The host was very helpfull. We had tea and cake at arrival. And she brought us to a pub for a maal in the evening. Very good breakfast. Good price-quality top. We would come back again!
Lovely little B&B. Room was clean and comfortable. Owner was very friendly. Breakfast was delicious.
The owners are absolutely amazing, super kind and welcoming people! Their home is beautiful and warm, set in an amazing location with stunning views! I couldn’t get enough of the lake view from my room. The room was spotless with all the things you could need. The bathroom and shower were great too! Breakfast was really delicious too, freshly cooked to order, lots of options too! I really enjoyed talking to other guests staying at breakfast as well as the owners of the B&B. Very friendly people with an amazing home offering lovely rooms and a great stay! I’d stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Really loved our night, excellent information from host. Fixed a meal up as no close by venues plus after driving in the rain most of the day we didn't want to go out that night. Room spacious well supplied. Excellent breakfast Easy to find using sat nav Lovely to see the lambs playing in the paddock next door
Friendly owners, clean room
Our host was very friendly and made a beautiful breakfast for us. A beautiful view over the loch Arrow. We would stay again, thank you for your hospitality!
I had a truly fantastic stay at Hillcrest B&B. Check-in and check-out were very easy and Noeleen was not only communicative but very helpful. The room, bed and facilities were extremely comfortable. I also enjoyed a very tasty and filling breakfast. I only saw the view from the room and dining room for a brief moment as I arrived after dark and there was a thick fog in the early morning. However as the fog lifted, the breathtaking view gradually revealed itself. Coupled with how well they keep the grounds and how picturesque their organic farm is, this is possibly one of the best B&Bs in Ireland.
The property is remote, but has beautiful scenery. The staff is exceptional as well.
Noreen is an excellent host. A warm welcome with refreshments awaited us after our long journey . A very comfortable B & B situated on a working farm overlooking a lake with beautiful views. We enjoyed safe walkways to breathe in the healthy fresh air and view the animals that abounded.
Host was very friendly and welcoming, lovely views from the property. Enjoyed our stay
Very nice B & B .Noreen was delightful to talk to.
What a great stay arrived late and was greeted warmly and asked if i would like a sandwich. Such a relaxing place
Convenient location for my needs, beautiful area. Very friendly and helpful, slept so well
This is a quiet location with beautiful views of the Sligo countryside. The host was very friendly and helpful. This is a really nice country b and b. I highly recommend it.
Absolutely amazing!! Couldn't have asked for lovelier hosts, and the breakfast was incredible. We did not realize the spot was as rural as it was, but Nolene made the stay--while brief--a very comfortable and hospitable one. The scenery was gorgeous, and the spot just lovely! Cannot recommend Hillcrest B&B enough.
Noleen is a great host and Hillcrest is a fabulous home. We had a very comfortable stay and the breakfast was delicious. Thank you so much.
Beautiful location, lovely room, great breakfast, warm welcome, friendly, helpful hosts.
The proprietor was very accommodating. Noelene was personable. Of course, Molly, the sheepdog should be acknowledged.
This is the most beautiful setting. Nature is at it’s most spectacular here with the baaaa’s of sheep, the cows and horses. The interior design of the house could be featured in a magazine. I hate to leave here.
That view tho! This place is kind of remote, no walking anywhere, but they don't call it hillcrest for nothing. The hoestess was very friendly, but not pushy or overly chatty. We went to Sligo to see a movie and came back late and no problem. Breakfast was nice.
I thought the property was excellent value for money. It was a little remote but the views from the front bedroom made up for that.
Host was kind, generous, gracious. Very friendly! Breakfast was AWESOME! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
This b&b was amazing the owners are so nice we had several great conversations. The breakfast menu has great options for everyone even though we stayed with the full Irish and coffee (it's my favorite). Every part of our stay was amazing and the views are so beautiful. I am glad I booked this b&b again next month.
Sadly we didn't end up staying in the Hillcrest B&B. We drove there and we were early but no one was home. The B&B looked nice but very far from everything even restaurants for lunch or supper. We decided that it wasn't the place for us so we continued on our journey. Donna Norton.
Fantastic Peaceful Place to explore Sligo Area ,Had a great night and a great breakfast, wish i could have stayed longer. Owner is a Wonderful thoughtful Lady who makes you feel so welcome ,the view of the lake was Awesome.
Beautiful view, peaceful area, friendly and caring host.
Great place to stay for exploring the Sligo area, very welcoming host and great breakfast too. My room had a wonderful view across the lake towards the Bricklieve Mountains and the Carrowkeel passage tombs. Room very comfortable and clean, with everything you need. Will definitely stay again.
An exceptional B&B where the friendly hosts go out of their way to be helpful. The room is extremely well appointed- in fact the best of our trip. Can't recommend this B&B enough.
I stayed two nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Wonderful hospitality. Kind and generous people. I can recommend without hesitation. 5/5 Stars.
A friendly family run traditionally Irish B&B. Lovely rural location with beautiful views. A relaxed welcoming atmosphere that made me feel it was 1975 again, I sat out watching a beautiful June sunset. Easy ample parking and a good breakfast to start the day. Fantastic value and I’d stay again.
For a family wedding and a quiet rest
Amazing friendly family athmosphere
We got a big room with a fantastic view of Lough Arrow and service was excellent. Lovely sweet pancakes on the breakfast menu, freshly made. It’s far away from the maddening crowd, all you’ll hear at night are sheep.
Really good place to stay. Clean and tidy, great breakfast.
Absolutely excellent value in a lovely setting. Noreen was very welcoming and friendly. The room and bathroom was spotless The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was really nice with great options. Beautiful countryside with views over the lake. Well worth a visit. You will not be disappointed.
I stayed at hillcrest for 1 night. The owner was friendly and very helpful. The house was comfortable and clean. The view was stunning. I also had a cooked breakfast which was perfect. I would highly recommend Hillcrest to anyone who is looking for a B&B in sligo.
It was one of the nicest places we have stayed in
Wonderful hosts, who were attentive and exceptionally helpful. The rural location offers plenty of peace and quiet with views over lake Arrow. Continental and cooked breakfast was available daily.
Noleen was a lovely host,Breakfast was good, and room was comfortable, and everything we needed.
A really warm, friendly welcome from Noleen. The room was spotlessly clean with an en suite. Great view to Lough Arrow. Continental breakfast was lovely and plentiful. Highly recommended.
Very nice
The hostess and family were charming and willing to teach us about shepherding!
The property was very comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome. The breakfast was delicious. We would stay here again.
My stay at Hillcrest B&B was very comfortable. The host was extremely friendly and hospitable, accommodating a very late check-in and tailoring the breakfast to suit my needs. The room was clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the mountains and lake. I would highly recommend this lovely place. Five stars!
The room had an incredible sunset view and the owners were great hosts. They helped me find the out of the way places I wanted to get to and even drove me up to the start of the trails. A number of options for breakfast and it was tasty and filling.
Hillcrest B&B is a lovely and quiet place. We were served a a delicious breakfast with a wide range of food choices. The room was spacious with a great view of the lake and the green countryside. The bathroom was clean and a good size. The hosts were both very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hillcrest.
Fantastic little B&B overlooking lough arrow! Beautiful
Great night. The view is incredible.
Beautiful B&B with stunning views The host was very welcoming and there was a good choice of breakfast. Hidden gem.
