My wife and I thought we were going to be the only ones traveling this past Saturday and picked slieve league from the pictures alone. But we were joined by our sister-in-law and nephews. While enroute from the East, we were able to see a few key landmarks. We thought to stop in the town of Carrick to get dinner. But it's best if you can make it to Rusty mackerel. Eat dinner there, check in to the bnb, then make the drive it hike up to the lookout point. It's well worth it. Then come back, enjoy an adult beverage (byo) alongside the fireplace, and retire to your room. Shower had plenty of hot water, rooms and beds are comfortable. Breakfast is delicious. Definitely consider slieve league bnb.
