The Northwest —
Favorite Places to Stay

Photos: Some of the newest hotels in the Northwest include (top, left) Solis Lough Eske Castle outside of Donegal Town, Co. Donegal's first 5-star hotel; (top, right) the Clarion Hotel in Sligo Town; (middle, left) the Diamond Coast Hotel, Enniscrone, Co. Sligo; (middle, right) the Ramada Encore Hotel in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal; and (bottom, left) Lough Rynn Castle, Mohill, Co. Leitrim; and (bottom, right) Ramada Lough Allen, Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim.

The Northwest has many inviting places to stay — from contemporary city hotels, beachfront resorts, country manor homes, and castles, to family-run guesthouses and bed-and-breakfast homes. The choices may not be as extensive as other parts of Ireland, but the lodgings of the Northwest are certainly worth going out of your way to experience.

Here are more than 40 of my favorite accommodation choices in the region. They are divided by county (Donegal and Sligo/Leitrim).

Since I get many requests on my "Ask Pat Q & A Forum" for specific B&B recommendations in County Donegal, I have also made a separate page with favorite Donegal B&Bs — primarily in Donegal Town but also scattered throughout the county.

This "Favorite Places to Stay" section is not meant to be an exhaustive list, just a sampling in all price categories.
