Holiday rentals with lake access in County Cavan

Such an amazing stay! Was perfect for a girls weekend and Sabina and David thought of absolutely everything! They were so welcoming and were on hand for any questions we may have had and even for a tour. Will absolutely be back :)

Thank you to Ben for having us to stay. It was very easy to locate, and the check in process was seamless. The place was lovely, and we appreciated the small touches such as providing milk/bread/eggs. Located next to the gorgeous castle, the air bnb provided us a fantastic stay for our cousin’s wedding weekend! We would recommend a stay here if you are visiting the area.

Excellent hosts therefore we had a wonderful stay at Driney House and hope to return. 😀 All the kids were so happy they could all bunk in together in the room with all the beds, like a proper sleepover, telling ghost stories with a torch. 👻 We stayed for three days and happily never left the grounds. It was so relaxing to take in the view while the kids had plenty of activities to keep them entertained, out in the fresh air getting plenty of exercise. They would have even slept on the trampoline!😀 The pool was a great hit, there is no deep end as such so it was great for the kids, and great to play volleyball. There were life vests available for use in a range of sizes for those that couldn’t swim. From the first contact the hosts were amazing, they were so helpful with a great generosity of spirit. A lovely family with a very special guest house. It’s like an activity centre with the most amazing views on the lake…..but the bonus is you have it all to yourself! 😀

Breda was lovely and helpful. Our kids loved the use of lake and canoe, down every evening. Would definitely stay here again if going down, lovely big spacious house.

Mary Beady the caretaker was very helpful and accommodating. We had a terrific time. Hope to come back with other family b

Lovely quiet location short walk to Lough Rynn castle where we attended a wedding.The house was well equipped spotlessly clean and beds were very comfortable Chris also left supplies for breakfast as well as little treats. Thank you Chris

LOVED BEECH COTTAGE. John and Rose were very welcoming nothing was a bother. The cottage is in the most peaceful and beautiful location right on the banks of the Shannon. Everything has been thought of and catered for. Comfortable beds cosy home and 2 bathrooms. The children loved it here feeding the pony and donkey and just able to run round outside. Lucky John and Rose's dog is very friendly and very cute so is Tom the cat. Watching the fox in the field coming to be fed is amazing. Carrick needed but close drive to all amenities. We cannot wait to go back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We had a lovely time staying here and would highly recommend. We would definitely stay here again

We had a wonderful stay and rented the full space—perfect for our family. Michael and Nicola are everything Airbnb was meant to be: warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Unlike many hosts these days who are remote owners, they live on-site and truly care about their guests. They greeted us with enthusiasm and gave great tips on local sights. Our 6-year-old daughter had an amazing time playing with their daughter (also 6). The property is very family-friendly with a zip line, tennis court, playhouse, trampoline, and two friendly dogs who acted as our guides on peaceful walks. The private suite was quiet and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. This was a personal, memorable experience—highly recommended!

Beautiful location Angela was extremely helpful and friendly locals were very friendly and polite would highly recommend had a great time will definitely go back again but for longer

Geraldine and Paul were very welcoming and friendly. Accomodation excellent, more spacious than the photos suggested. Cosy, woodburner lit when we arrived. A selection of basic supplies including breakfast with Geraldine's home made bread. Paul was very helpful with advice about local fishing. Large comfortable bed , and excellent bathroom. Lovely countryside, lots to explore.

This is 1 place I would definitely go back to , it was so relaxing to be there that we slept well and enjoyed the scenery and surrounding area

Good place to stay near Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail

Peter was a fantastic host. Looked after us during our four weeks day. His dad brought logs for the fireplace regularly and without us even asking. Lovely little village with amazing pub next door and others just up the road. Shops within a couple of minutes walk. Great walks and scenery within a short drive. Highly recommended!

Immaculate place to stay in the countryside! Beautifully kept rooms and all the modern conveniences provided. Nicola and Michael are very warm and welcoming! They had great tips for dinners out, provided us with wellies for walking about their land, and made sure we were comfortable. The setting is serene and relaxing!! It was a great “home base” for doing genealogy work in neighboring counties, and is well situated for great day trips. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. Thanks!!

We couldn't ask for a better stay! The cottage is tastefully decorated and surrounded by this amazing oasis of peace that is the gardens. The perfect location to reconnect with nature! Thanks again! The whole family had a blast including our little one and our dog Jazz! ❤️

Friendly host and only to anxoous to please. Sorted a problem with the water (from a well) by working from early morning until it was finished. Great area and we did the walks that we were told about.

My family and I had a wonderful visit! We were close to the sites we wanted to see and also loved walking the path along the canal where we saw cute little ducklings. We felt very warmly welcomed by Kelli and were impressed with how spacious but cozy this space was.

June 2025 was the second time I stayed in this house - see also my earlier review. Very different than before - now with ambient temperatures and 20 plus hours of daylight. The house is located in a beautiful environment with lovely views to meadows surrounded by mature trees of all sorts. Some lakes in the area and very quiet - Very laid back atmosphere. Decorations in the house may be a little outdated for some guests, but in my opinion it just suits the house and surroundings. A lot of space: 4 large bedrooms and a large dining kitchen with a sofa to watch TV. Dishwasher and washing machine present (did not use these). Good working shower. Host quickly responds to e mails and gives clear instructions.

Bruno was very welcoming. He left a very generous amount of food for us - milk, bread, eggs etc. The cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived and stayed that way. It is a cosy and comfortable cottage in a nice, quiet location close to town. Bruno was very helpful in suggesting local hike routes.

We had a fabulous stay at Joanna's house. The house was spotless and very spacious. It's in a beautiful estate with forests and a gorgeous private lake. Joanna was very easy to communicate with and very prompt. We would definitely recommend this house to others.

We stayed at Jim's cottage on the 2nd leg of our tour of Ireland, the peace & quiet of this area as well as the local history was much appreciated. We were able to visit two of the O'Rourke castle sites as well as O'Rourke's Table which was a pretty streneous hike but well worth the effort, I only regret not having more time to explore & fish the many canals & lakes in the area. Overall the cottage was nearly perfect for our stay & would definately recommend! Thanks, Jim & Erin Paul Roark

Wow, what a place to stay. It's better than the photos. Kevin met us at the property and checked us in in no time, gave advise about the fishing. The private jetty is perfect for peaceful fishing and a short walk in to the town has a few bars with live music in the evening. The house is lovely and clean. We are already deciding when we can get back.
