Drumcliff is a village in County Sligo, Ireland. It is on the Drumcliff river. St. Colmcille founded a monastery in Drumcliff in about 575. The monastery was of such importance that it gave its name to the territory of Cairbre Drom Cliabh in which it resides. Drumcliff is the final resting place of the poet W. B. Yeats (1865–1939), who is buried in the graveyard of St. Columba's Church of Ireland church.

We used RoutePerfect to plan and book two trips touring Spain from the North to the South coasts and then back again between April and July, staying at 9 hotels in total. All were good to excellent with very straightforward check-in, accepting our voucher with no problems. The website is excellent as a totally flexible planning tool and the staff were very efficient and helpful when we made a mistake with dates and had to phone to make a change. We would highly recommend RoutePerfect and would certainly use them again.

The trip went very well and the hotels that we stayed in were very nice. I would say the overall experience with RoutePerfect was good and if we go another trip like that we will go back to the website.
