Old Fort B&B is a fine option for a visitor who doesn't mind staying outside the town centre. The walk from the train station is pleasant, and the neighborhood is charming. Clean, comfortable accommodations, with a full Irish breakfast.

Expedia description seemed to indicate it was a hotel near the beach and a golf course but it is actually just a house in a cull-de-sac with not indication that it is a even a B&B. A bed for the night with no frills and a nice breakfast for an additional €10. Easy access to the town centre (20 minute walk).

Old style B&B in a comfortable house.

Comfortable stay in a typical old style B&B, with a shared bathroom in someone's home. The hosts are really friendly and helpful (and make a great breakfast), the room was fine, although mattress/pillows were on the thin side and you could hear noise from outside of the room, and tv reception could be intermittent at times! Wifi though was excellent, and never had any issues with waiting for the bathroom. It's a short drive into Sligo or Strandhill.

good enough for a quick stay overnight

know that this is a B&B at someone's house in a very nice neighborhood. Be on the lookout for kids on their bikes and running around the street, so you do not run them over. Also all the houses look the same so do not go to the wrong one in the dark, like I did. The owner is a lovely, retired gentleman, the house is very clean. You have to share the bathroom with the other rooms/guests. The pillows are little flat and the bed is kind of stiff

The breakfast was very well done. The pillows could be better. The place was very clean. I think small mirror in the bedrooms would be good as the bathroom is shared. Also i think little tables in the bathrooms would be nice so you would have more place to put your toiletries. Parking was great and convenient. Thanks Peter for your hopitality

The property was clean and tidy. Beds were a bit soft. No sheet, which is not unusual for Europe. If you don't mind sharing the bathroom with two other groups it is a very reasonably priced option.

I booked and prepaid for a double room with en-suite. Upon arrival, when they saw I was alone, I was moved to a single room with restroom down the hall and downstairs. I am a 65 y/o woman, traveling alone. I need a bathroom at night. None of the sinks worked, except for the one downstairs powderoom. If I needed water for the kettle or wash my hands after toilet-down the stairs I went. This is not a lodge, it is someone’s home. I was very uncomfortable. WiFi worked as did the TV. No chair in the room and bed was broken on the end, so no place to sit.

The owners disappeared behind closed doors the entire time-not breakfast. We wanted to turn the register on for some heat, but didn’t know how to reach them. We emailed but didn’t get a response. In hindsight we should have looked for a phone number.

I booked The Old Fort Lodge based on the photo of a three story stone manor building set on large well manicured grass lawns, as the leading photo. There were photos of outdoor sports that indicated being attached to the stone fort or manor house. The address was 3 Old Fort Road. About the 13th photo was of a family home which I thought was an attached property. I booked two nights, received confirmation then no other emails. Worried 24 hours before hand I googled again, the photo of the stone fort or manor house came up again, same address which I googled and this time pressed the street view image to get a 360 degree view of a suburb and realised I’d booked someone’s family home. I would never have deliberately booked that. I immediately emailed The Old Fort Lodge that I was canceling (gave no reason) understanding I would receive no refund. No reply at all.
