    The property was lovely and cosy and had absolutely everything you would need for a self catering stay. We did a good bit of exploring around the Cavan/Tyrone areas and it was a great base and location for that. Áine was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend and will come back if ever in the area!

    Absolutely nothing.

    Murray Lodge was a great place to stay, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable beds and had everything we needed, lovely touches such as fresh milk in the fridge, tea and coffee. The location was perfect as we were competing in Cavan Equestrian, and it was only 15 minutes away by car.

    I’m struggling to think of anything we didn’t like.

    The heating was very efficient, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The host could not have been more accommodating especially as she had not received notice of the booking from Booking.com till the morning after we arrived.

    Nothing

    Áine was so friendly and helpful. The area was extremely quiet. Murray's Lodge was comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was a fifteen minute walk (on a footpath) from the bus stop, which was important, as we had no private transport. Walks in the town and surrounding area are peaceful and scenic. We were able to walk from Murray's Lodge into the middle of Killykeen Forest Park, and walk back afterwards. There was a wonderful café (Nana Tilly's) on the greenway to Killykeen, which we enjoyed on the way out and on the return journey! We sat outside Nana Tilly's enjoying the fabulous lakeland view. We also hiked from Murray's Lodge to Drumlane Abbey, a beautiful ruin in a breathtakingly beautiful situation. There are some gravestones in the surrounding graveyard that sre worth seeing.There is a well-stocked shop in Milltown, which is beside the location of Drumlane Abbey. We got takeaway tea and some picnic items in it, which we enjoyed at the picnic table adjacent to the shop.The looped walk in Killeshandra is gorgeous, and there are interesting old churches in and near Killeshandra as well. The hotel in the town served lovely food, and we also enjoyed the fare in the café in the middle of the town. We bought all of our groceries in the two grocery shops in Killeshandra. Cavan town was a twenty minute bus journey away, providing us with more to do. There are quiet areas for walking out the Glenside Road from Cavan town, and the Glenside Road can also be used to start a peaceful walk to the back way into Farnham Estate, going along roads with little traffic. We walked and lunched in Farnham Estate, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If our stay had been longer, we could have used Local Link buses to reach more places to explore. We met helpful, friendly people everywhere we went.

    Can't think of anything

    Accommodation had everything we needed, and I mean everything! Anything we thought we forgot, there it was! Alot of thought put into the little things you might need when away from home with kids. Aine was so friendly, left us to our own devices but checked in now and then by text to see if we needed anything. Our kids even got to play together on the toys and swings outside. She was even so kind as to see if we needed a travel cot and high chair before we arrived, which left us space in the car, and had the travel cot set up when we arrived, a very welcome help after a long drive! A nice remote location very close to one of Cavan's lakes. Ask Aine about the beach to.swim at, we only found it on the evening before we left.

    We had a fantastic break. Host Aine met us and provided an extra fold up bed for me (the mammy) as boys sharing bedrooms. Lovely thoughtful touches included basics like bread, eggs, coffee, tea, milk, biscuits etc all available and even dishwasher tablets left for us. I left washing out to dry and Aine was so kind she actually folded my dried laundry and left bagged on doorstep (sheltered from rain) as it started to rain. Extra towels etc offered and loads of advice on where to eat and in advance on activities in the area and facilities. Could not have asked for a better host... Even a dedicated doggie cupboard with pet bowls etc although had brought our own. Will definitely try to stay again if available!! Thank you Aine & family

    Great location and easy to access property. 2 fantastic sized bedrooms with massive beds and a great wee bathroom. Kitchen / living area fantastic with access to WiFi and all the equipment you need to make food. Dogs are catered for as well with their own little cupboard! Hosts were fantastic and great at recommending things to do and eat! Lots of brochures with plenty information. Áine was also so kind and left bagels milk tea coffee sugar and some chocolate! Try the Lough Bawn Hotel for good home tasting food! Yeelong Chinese also good for takeaway including Chinese, burgers, pizza, chips and kebabs!
