Very cosy choice in west Cavan

A very pleasant guest house, with attached pub and restaurant. We received a very friendly welcome and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was bigger than expected and well equipped, with everything needed for a relaxing holiday. The breakfasts were excellent and cooked to order. We also ate dinner two nights in the garden and the food was first class and extremely tasty. A highly recommended base for exploring west Cavan.

My partner and I stayed here from 11-13 July. Nothing was a problem for Sheila. She even had balloons and banners for my boyfriends 40th birthday which was a lovely surprise. We even had dinner one night outside in the garden which was lovely with the stove outside. The markee outside looked amazing too will defiantly have to try it next time. We are so looking forward to going back when are youngest puppy is toilet trained as it has everything you need in the b&b and you dont even need to go anywhere. We look forward to our next trip. Thanks again for accomodating us for breakfast and dinner. Xxx
