The Ocean Heights B&B is an extremely homey and welcoming place - mainly because of Karen. She is a totally warm person who just exudes kindness and hospitality. And maybe best of all, her breakfasts are to die for - the best we had on our entire 2 week trip - and lovely views of the sea while you enjoy the great food. She offers various choices which is very advantageous and the eggs come from her own chickens!! EVERYTHING that we had over our 3 days there was delicious. The Ocean View is situated very close to the sea about 20 minutes west of Sligo - so the location is not super convenient if you are a city person. However, we chose it BECAUSE it was a bit more rural. The whole place has lovely decorating touches which are Karen's, we are sure - lots of attention to detail in all aspects of the accommodations (including an extensive listing of places to see and things to do in a book in our room). We had originally reserved an upstairs, sea view room but contacted Karen and asked to be moved downstairs because my wife, Marcia, injured herself in a fall while on our trip. The downstairs room was very cozy and comfortable and still had a view of the water. We found out after we got back to the US that Marcia had a fractured bone in her right hip the entire time!! An example of Karen's attention to detail was that she noticed that Marcia had gotten a stain on the sleeve of her blouse and Karen took it and washed it for her while we were there. By the time we left, we felt like we were truly leaving a good friend behind!! We wholeheartedly recommend the Ocean Heights B&B as a base of operations for northwest Ireland.

We liked everything - especially Karen.

We liked absolutely everything! After spending 6 weeks traveling the UK, & staying in many B & B's, we simply couldn't fault it Ocean Heights. Every need was thought of and necessitated to well in advance of our arrival, from the to the very personalized greeting on arrival to the unexpected cotton tips in the bathroom- The receiving of the local tips on what we'd be interest in doing while on our very short stay at Ocean Heights was a bonus too. Karen is n excellent listener & a true hospitality professional - as well as running this fabulous business & a large family with her husband she actually takes the small amount of time to have a quick chat & find out something about her guests.

No firewood was supplied for the bon fire we would have had if the local council had approved this! He He... (tongue severely in cheek)

First of all if you are travelling to Sligo from Cork or any area 4 hours away from this place, it is better to leave the day before - at around noon. Keep in mind, the check-in in this place is at 4 p.m. The host was very hospitable and attentive to detail. The house is organized, and quiet and has beautiful decorations. It's spotless. We brought food and she heated it for us - she let us eat in the dining area it was evening time. We were exhausted with the trip to Sligo, so her assistance was much appreciated. The host was also knowledgeable about the place. We are tourists in Sligo so we had to ask where we could buy special items. The house is like a home away from home. The Irish breakfast she prepared was perfect, with the right amount, taste, and hotness of food. Everything was excellent.

None.

Karen was really welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for her. The house is in a glorious location with beautiful views of the ocean and countryside. The room was really comfortable, with lots of little extras provided and everywhere was spotlessly clean. A delicious breakfast was provided everyday, with a wide variety of items to choose from and plenty of tea, coffee and delicious homemade bread too.

Nothing

From the moment we arrived the hosts were welcoming and warm. This beautifully appointed B&B was so clean and exceptionally decorated. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, one with a lovely ocean view. We enjoyed waling along the coastline and admiring the natural beauty of the area. The breakfast was delicious and just what we needed.

Could not fault the property or hosts, some travelers may find the location a little isolated, but for us it was perfect. No more than a 15 minute drive to lovely shops and restaurants.

Our room was exceptionally equipped with everything you could ever need, ie. binder listing attractions and restaurants (including menus), folding table, power bar for the plug behind the bed to make it accessible at the side of the bed, note paper, tea, cookies, candies, in the washroom specialty hand lotion and Q-tips, wooden board games, etc. Room was a great size and had a luggage rack as well.

Confusion with our request for a room with an oceanview room that was given to someone else.

Room and property were lovely. Just exactly what we were hoping for. Good breakfast in the morning and helpful information from the management regarding restaurants and things to do in the area.

We only had 2 minor issues. Some other guests must have been traveling together and were super loud in the early evening in the hallway outside of our room. The hash browns with breakfast were a premade item sort of like fast food breakfast hash browns, I'd hoped for better.

You couldn't get closer to the Wild Atlantic without drowning in your bed. The B&B was beautifully clean, comfortable and friendly with delicious home cooked breakfasts and very close to the beautiful rugged coastline. The windy weather made this even more spectacular. Not very far inland are all the beautiful and interesting sights of the city and county of Sligo, inspiring me to brush up on my ignorance of the work of William Butler Yeats. An inexhaustible supply of toffees in a hotel room should never be the criteria for deciding if a trip was a good or a bad one, but on this occasion it was certainly the cherry on a well iced cake, as were other nice unique little touches about the house. We felt very much at home there. I am certain that we will return one day.

Ocean Heights B&B was my favorite B&B on our entire trip to Ireland. There were two reasons for this: its location and its hostess. My wife, her two sisters and husbands spent two nights there. Its location just hundreds of feet from the coast, its amazing views of the coast and mountains to the east, the ability to take walks along the cliffs and country lanes make this a great place to enjoy the rugged beauty of the northwest coast of Ireland. Our hostess, Karen, had delicious breakfasts for us each morning. The hydrangeas were still blooming in her gardens as well. In the small town of Lissadell, near by, we found great places to enjoy supper in relaxed surroundings. What a great find, and reasonably priced!

Upon arrival you receive a breakfast menu to be completed with your preferences for the following morning. The menu is excellent, with a wide selection to suit everyone. You can choose between an array of traditional breakfasts to continental with fruit and yogurt. The location is spectacular. There is a fabulous rock beach a stone's throw from the B&B which we throughly enjoyed at sunset. There are good restaurants 10 minutes away by car. Sligo is easily reached too, and there is a lot to explore in the immediate vicinity.

Everything was superb except for the bed which had a heavy quilt more adaptable for the winter. The television was impossible to figure out, so we ended up watching YouTube channels. If I do return in the future, I will make sure to ask about the bedding and television in advance.
