Pier Head Hotel, MULLAGHMORE, Sligo

The Pier Head Hotel placidly sits on the water’s edge of the fairy-tale village of Mullaghmore, watched over by the jaw-shaped peak of Ben Bulben. A bunch of beauty and wellness treatments await inside at the hotel’s salon, with treatments including soothing seaweed baths, while free leisure facilities number an indoor pool, gym, and sauna. Elsewhere, the onsite Clashybaun Restaurant offers large windows that frame spectacular sights of the Atlantic Ocean, allowing diners to feast the eyes while they dive into dishes of locally caught seafood, when possible.
