Modern & stylish in tranquil setting

We enjoyed a really lovely short break in Sligo recently with the excellent Castle Dargan as a base. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Everyone greeted us warmly and were attentive without being intrusive. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable bedding and large bathroom, although the toilet bowl was situated very tight to a wall. We enjoyed a tasty lunch overlooking the scenic golf course. Breakfast offered a good choice and again was top class. We will definitely return to this gem of a hotel.

Home away from Home

From the moment we were greeted by Caroline the hotel receptionist who welcomed us with her warm smile and sunny disposition, We instantly felt at home. That warm welcoming spirit carried on into the hotel restaurant with our maitre d and server whom proceeded to give us a very tasty and satisfying dining experience. While our visit may have been unfortunately brief, it was most definitely memorable, In Hawaii we call what Castle Dargan has, as the "Aloha Spirit", the spirit of love. Thank you for making us feel at home.
