Hi, we were a couple of older female friends travelling around Ireland, so although this was a lovely 'close to the sea' place to stay, it was probably more suited to anyone wanting to be more at the 'seaside', we were wanting more the night life of live music so Sligo was a drive away, not sure what the night life in Strandhill was like, We loved the place anyway, Catherine was very welcoming & we would easily go again.
