Rosses Point has two good quality hotels, the Yeats County which is within walking distance of the Yacht Club (see www.yeats-country-hotel.com). The Radisson Hotel is about 2 miles from the clubhouse (see www.radissonblu.ie/sligo). Both have high quality leisure facilities. Sligo Town has other hotel options.
There are several guesthouses and houses which can be rented for the week within and around the village.
Rosses Point Guesthouse is a newly opened guesthouse located in the centre of the village and can accommodate up to 16 people in a mix of Dorm and Private rooms. The place is run by activity enthusiasts and sailors, and Beds start at €18 per night including breakfast. There are cooking facilities available.
About 100 yards from the clubhouse there is a large caravan and camping park. Generally it does not accept bookings (due to bad experiences with no shows) but we expect to be able to make bookings for confirmed entries.
Another accommodation option is the Gateway Apartment complex which is at the outskirts of Sligo Town. This is high quality student accommodation which is let during the summer on a weekly basis. Each unit has two bedrooms and sleeps 5 but no objection is taken to extra bodies on the floor within reason.
The club frequently make arrangements with the management and our visitors find it very satisfactory. For the week the rate we have negotiated is €300. Their website is http://www.gatewayapartments.ie/ and this provides booking facilities. This is very good value for the time of year but it must be remembered that this complex is about 6 miles from the clubhouse. Although the drive is not difficult Irish drink driving laws have become very strict. Taxis are readily available however.
More student accommodation is available at both the Clarion Village and Yeats Village - http://www.albanne.ie. They have special offers available for the competition week for which you need to quote sailing. Prices are inclusive of bed linen and electricity.
