    Hi all,

    Never been to Sligo but am hearing great things about the area - looking for ideas/recommendations for a week long holiday, of where to stay, where to visit etc.

    Looking for ideas for a self catering holiday in Sligo - 4 adults, 3 kids (under 5).

    Would like the following:
    - walking distance to pubs/restaurants
    - access to a pool if possible

    Are there any hotels that offer self-catering in the area?

    Thanks in advance!
    Keith.

    Try Yeats Village, its just in the suburbs, a 5min walk from the local shop and 15 minutes into the city centre. A taxi home would cost eight euro or less i'd say.

    Can't offer any advice on accommodation but there are some lovely beaches around sligo, down my way anyways there's enniscrone, dunmoran and tra bhui. There's also rosses point and strandhill beaches. You could also visit glencar waterfall, although theres some debate as to whether thats in sligo or leitrim! If the weather is a bad you could keep the kids happy in funny bones in collooney.

    have u thought about strandhill?...my sister rented a 2 bed apartment in Strandhill village, 2 minutes from the beach, very clean, all mods cons, new built....think it was 500 euro a week...well worth it...Strandhill is a great place to set up camp...great place too....no swimming on the beach tho..too dangerous...otherwise a fab spot for a holiday....

    pm me if u want the phone number....
