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)   , and I was starving at this stage .  The main very very poor .I took two bites of the salmon left the rest could not eat the  cubbed veg  . The person seated across from me on the same  table said the veg was that tough that  his donkeys would choke on it.
  Everyone at our table and the next table commented on how  random and slow some of the service was and how poor the food was and all complained about the long delays. So at 4 pm myself and my family members thanked the Marist Nuns for inviting us for a meal and we left . We did not have the time to wait for the  dessert ,tea or coffee  . At this stage its nearly 4.30 pm all in our party  very hungry so we went to the drive thru at Supermacs for food . As we pulled out of Supermacs , we met another car of people that had been at the hotel for the funeral meal .  I would guess that the meal starter ,main dessert ,tea and coffee would have been charged at a set price per head . I know for a fact 12 of us left after the  poor service , poor food , long delays  HUNGRY with no  dessert ,tea of coffee .                                                                                                                              The funeral was paid for by the Marist nuns so I did not like to complain to the hotel . I talked quiet a few others that had been invited for food and they had the same opinion  on the meal ,and they also did not want to say anything in case the nuns would have been offended as it was a very kind gesture to invite us in the first place .         I do not know why this meal was so poor from start to finish ?                                                        I would hope that Michael O Hara the hotel proprietor,  would do the decent thing and step up and give the Marist Sisters some refund or  at least a donation . 
                                             

Cubbed vegtables that tough my donkeys would choke on it .So hungry went to supermacs drive thru after the meal . 

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!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!RIP OFF!!!!!

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.

very poor place to dine

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. 

Hotel is dated, staff are lovely 

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.

Family visit

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 !

Great Food and Welcome :)

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

Home away from home with wonderful hospitality & kindness.

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!

Service is outstanding!

This is a nice place for good food. The staff were helpful and accommodating. The were flexible with the menu to make sure our party were happy. It was a little noisy but the good food certainly made up for that. The prices are a little more reasonable than other places. I will surely visit again.

Great Grub!

Most enjoyable week. Room was spotless, service in the dining room was excellent. The food was  well presented and served by waitresses who were all very friendly and knowledgeable about local places of interest.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I highly recommend the hotel. It is excellent value for money. I will certainly return.
