"The Heart of The Gate Lodge Sligo"
💚💚💚
Beside Lough Gill, where the waters softly shine,
There’s a little place in Sligo where memories entwine.
Tucked away in Doorly Park, beneath the trees so green,
You’ll find "The Gate Lodge" a truly special scene.
It’s more than just a cafe, more than a place to stay,
It’s a place where a warm welcome can brighten up your day.
Where every visitor is greeted with a smile,
And you’re made to feel at home, if only for a while.
Our team is here to welcome you, with kindness at the heart,
To share the beauty of our Sligo and help your journey start.
With stories, local treasures and places you can see,
We'l help you find the magic that makes Sligo what it’s meant to be.
From mountains reaching skyward to the Wild Atlantic shore,
There are hidden gems and wonders waiting to explore.💚
And when your travels bring you back along the road,
We’ll be here with open doors at our cherished "Gate Lodge".
And then there are the flavours, made fresh with love and care,
With Debba Bakes bringing sweet delights to share.
Fresh bakes every day, with tempting treats galore,
Along with savoury favourites that will leave you wanting more.
Perhaps it’s just a coffee, perhaps a little bite,
Perhaps you’ll linger longer in the autumn light ,
For sometimes it’s the simple things that stay within the heart
A friendly face, a beautiful view, a moment set apart.💚
So if you find yourself in Sligo, come and take a little time,
To sit beside Lough Gill and let the moment shine.
Come for the scenery, the welcome, the flavours and the view,
But most of all, come as a stranger… and leave as someone we knew.💚
For The Gate Lodge is more than bricks and beams,
It’s built from little moments, kindness, laughter and dreams.
And beside the shores of Lough Gill, beneath Sligo’s open sky,
we’l keep the welcome glowing as the seasons pass us by.
The Gate Lodge, Doorly Park Sligo
