The Yeats County Inn Hotel

Went for a post funeral meal ( last week) November 23 . The meal was paid for by the Marist Sisters . The meal was booked in advance for 70 to 80 people . The hotel knew in advance the numbers that would be attending . All the guests were seated by 2.00 -- 2.15 pm . The tables had been set up cutlery , glasses ,tableware etc clean table clothes set for the function with water , and diluted orange at every table , all looked good everything presentable . From then on everything went downhill , the calamity began . Not everyone got a menu. At our table of 12 we had two menus, it was doable we managed but more menus would have been better. We ordered our starters and main . Then for some unknown reason everyone got a thin a slice of bread, even those who did not order soup but no butter ,no jam which I found strange . Starters randomly appeared in no sequence , some diners at some tables had eaten the starter while others seated next to them had no starter for another 30 minutes . The table I was at was similar some got soup some seated beside them didnt get soup until half an hour later , others starters randomly appeared or didnt appear for ages . I ordered the chicken vol - au- vent,, it took for ever , everyone at my table finished there soup when some of the other tables started getting the main course .when I started my starter,, it was chewy chicken gloopy sauce not great just warm not really hot enough ,took a bite plastic micro wave taste ,I did not eat it but since it was a funeral meal I did not want to say anything. At this stage it was over an hour since we sat down for the meal . I picked at the slice of the bread that everyone got an hour earlier , we had to ask the waiting staff for butter. At the stage some of the other tables started eating there main . 30 minutes later still we had no food . Our table and the adjoining table asked several times for our main . Staff had no coordination ,seemed like it was the first day for all of them . some tables cleared from the starter ,some not cleared while at the same time the odd beef main appeared at most tables with the salmon delayed . Again similar situation with service as for starters some had food others nothing some diners had finished ,some still no main which was what happened at our table . Very chaotic staff no one to supervise the service. Most at my table ordered salmon with one beef order . It was nearly 4pm when we got our main that was a two hour wait for most at the table. My salmon was overdone but at the same time luke warm in the middle . The cubed veg ,, carrot and I think parsnip hard luke warm , I picked at salmon and ate the bread which had been on the table now for two hours and asked the the other two diners could I have the bread they got ,, which they kindly let me have (since they cant eat bread)

Booked a table for 6, questioned the price of the pint. Told we were drunk and that we had to leave. Obviously a rip off, €20 for 2 pints. €10 back when questioned and then asked to leave. Staff extremely RUDE!!! Won’t ever go there again!!!!!!!!!!!

the hotel reception area where we waited for a table to be available should have been enough to warn us. Carpet was very worn & dirty & definitely needs replacing, also the "reception area" would appear to be a dumping ground for hotel fittings. The lunch itself was very poor in that veg consisted of under-cooked broccoli & what seemed to be mashed carrot but it was flavorless so I cant be sure. the only plus is that the staff are very friendly & efficient. I will be avoiding this place for the foreseeable future. If i were to award points I would give it 3/10 & the 3 is for the staff.

Hotel itself could do with a bit of a facelift as it's very dated. Staff were lovely and room was comfortable. Restaurant could do with a vegetarian main course option! Good value for money though and close to the airport.

A fantastic four days with two of my grandchildren. Staff very welcoming, superb customer service. The food was excellent, my grandchildren particularly loved the pancakes for breakfast. The room was warm and clean, the bathroom had all the necessities, housekeeping was excellent. We had a wonderful break, I highly recommend the hotel.

Stopped here as was waiting for a flight - enjoyed lovely meal and staff so nice and helpful. It’s a real country inn and was glad to bring my visitors to experience plain simple Irish hospitality. Was here for breakfast too a few times and consistently good. Reasonably priced also !

We travelled from Australia & stayed at Yeats County Inn due to a beloved family members death. We were cared for so beautifully with enormous kindness. Each person went out of their way to ensure we were looked after. The Irish breakfast each morning kept us going all day long. Michael even offered to get us to Dublin airport when our driver went to the wrong address. Our heartfelt thanks to ALL members of staff. You are stars! Kitty, Andy Lena & Andrew Marren

A friend and I were attending a wedding in the Sligo area and due to poor prior planning on our part, were left scrambling to find a hotel last minute. We couldn’t have been more fortunate, because in Yeats inn, we hit the JACKPOT! From minute 1, to the minute we left, we could not have been made to feel more welcome. The service was terrific and the staff always went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a comfortable and enjoyable one. The entire team were enthusiastic, chatty, engaging and it always looked like they enjoyed being there, which made for a great stay. The food all weekend was absolutely brilliant, across breakfast, lunch and dinner. What’s more, without question the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had, which I was made aware by the wonderful owners that it was home made… the owners, who even filled in and offered me a lift on the Sunday morning when I couldn’t find a taxi to get to my destination - which, blew my mind that they were willing to take time out of their day, to go out of their way to get me to where I needed to be. Would recommend Yeats inn HIGHLY to anyone who is looking for a stay in the area. You will not regret it! 5 stars doesn’t quite seem enough. Thank you guys so much for contributing to a memorable weekend!
