Boutique accommodation in a peaceful setting. Perfect for those seeking a break from the city. Short drive from many attractions.
Very beautiful little house, the hosts were so friendly, we felt welcome from the fiesta second we arrived. Colette and Paul were so lovely. We would love to come back someday.
Everything! Wonderful experience!!!

Lovely place with nice, quiet surroundings
I really liked the grounds and the people
The Old Farmhouse Annex is a wonderful wee place to stay if you want to explore Monaghan, Cavan, Fermanagh, Sligo or other nearby counties. We came down as a couple for a 2 night stay from the North of Ireland to have a quiet time in the countryside and explore Sligo. Before we came, the host, Colette, was in communication regularly and ensured we could message her if we needed anything. Unfortunately we didn’t get speaking to her in person but her husband Paul made sure to see us off and was lovely! The property itself has everything you need for a short or medium term stay. It was absolutely immaculate, and we both remarked it was probably the best equipped location we’ve stayed in from Booking.com. As you come in, there’s plenty of space to park a car of any size and it’s safe and secure in a gated property with CCTV. Checking in and gaining access was really easy. The property is a converted farmhouse outbuilding on the hosts’ land but you have plenty of privacy. I had specifically booked somewhere we could spend a quiet night in and cook a meal. The kitchen is where this property really stood out - it was fully equipped with an oven, hob, microwave and even a nespresso coffee machine. There were all the utensils, bowls and plates and cutlery you would need. A dishwasher made cleaning up even easier, and there were free coffee pods, plenty different types of tea to enjoy. The sofa was very comfortable and we were able to log into Netflix and enjoy a bit of TV to unwind. There were also lovely little cup holders attached to the sofa which was cool! The bed was so so comfortable and spacious. We noticed there were plenty of blankets and thicker duvets if it was a Winter stay, and there was good heating. We also really appreciated the Bedside fan on a warm evening, in fact with this property it is the little things you appreciate.
Genuinely nothing wrong with the property! Only thing we would have loved were 2 steak knives for our meal, but that’s pedantics.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a unit which contained all we needed. We enjoyed the chats with Colette about the location, and life in general. We appreciated the goodies left and that Colette brought over some fresh milk when we arrived.
An instruction manual for the kitchen equipment would have been a bonus, but it didn't stop us preparing what we wanted.
Absolutely beautiful place. Top quality comfort and attention to detail the area is so quiet..... only birds can be heard Singing . The annex is beside the owners house so we had access to their beautiful gardens also.
Just would like to point out that it is in the countryside So a drive to get anywhere
Very clean and extremely comfortable. Facilities and furniture were top class.

Everything! It is the perfect place to stay to enjoy Irish rural countryside. Collette and Paul were exceptional hosts. The property is spacious, beautifully decorated and appointed. There was a delightful view from every window. It was great value for money and we loved everything about our stay.
Nothing, it is a rare gem
The quietness.
Loose door lock on front door.
Great place to stay. Was comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Colette and Paul were lovely hosts and very friendly!
My partner and I spent 2 nights at the Old Farmhouse while exploring some of beautiful Monaghan. We adored everything about our stay. It was spotless, peaceful, comfortable, friendly and so well kitted out! Our hosts were lovely, attentive and happy to answer any questions we had. The nearest village is Clones where we ventured for a few hours the first night and Gerry was our wonderful taxi driver . Very happy with our stay at the Old Farmhouse and our visit to Monaghan. Great value for money overall we felt.
The location was amazing , very friendly Colette had thought of absolutely everything to be left in property , very clean wished could have stayed longer ,in our opinion under priced for the standard and what was provided
Nothing
The location was excellent—conveniently situated and ideal for an extended stay. The property was well-equipped with everything needed to feel comfortable and settled over a longer period, which made a big difference. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and easy to communicate with, adding to the overall positive experience. I’d happily stay here again and would recommend it to others looking for a reliable and comfortable place to stay.
Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. Slept really well and had a wonderful place to work and relax.
There was nothing to not like.
The kitchen had everything you need and the bed was incredible I've had the best sleeps in a long time.
The property was finished to a really high standard modern and cosy all at the same time
Absolutely nothing it ticked all the boxes
Stunning property everything you can think of needing is there for guests. Beautiful surrounding and owners. Stayed with my mum and daughter and unfortunately I ended up in hospital. Colette and Paul were just amazing and saved me so much stress, picking up and dropping off my mum and daughter, making sure they were ok, taking for meal , picking up my daughter from the hospital, relaying info to my husband and finding doctors ect. We overstayed 4 extra days which took the pressure off me otherwise we would have been stuck for accommodation while I was ill. This was our second visit and wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

We recently spent three nights in the farmhouse annex and had a wonderful stay. The place was peaceful, clean, and full of character, with a lovely blend of rustic charm and comfort. The annex was well-kept, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxed visit. The location was perfect for unwinding — quiet surroundings, beautiful scenery, and a real sense of countryside calm. The hosts were welcoming, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with, which made the entire experience even better. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet and charming getaway.
The space and finishing touches were exceptional, the attention to detail and well stocked kitchen with everything from oil to tin foil. We really appreciated all that Colette had done to make it such a nice stay. We were able to come and go without any intrusion or issues at all. We were seeing family in Cavan Town, so that was only a 20-25 minute drive and with having a hire car, we wanted to be out in a lovely rural area. That also meant we could explore the local area and Marble Caves that are not far away and we had a lovely meal at Tully Mill. Thank you ☺️
Nothing to fault at all.
Very remote location, very quiet.
Lovely and clean place, lovely host
Fantastic quality accommodation and very friendly owners.
Nothing
This was beautiful accommodation, maintained to an exceptionally high standard in stunning surroundings. Our hosts were really lovely too, making us very welcome and meeting us as we left. Can't recommend this highly enough.
The Annex was absolutely gorgeous. From the beautiful furniture to the picturesque views and garden, we felt so relaxed in a bubble of our own. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful, giving us recommendations for activities and places to eat and really making us feel at home. I loved the small details that they added within the house - bathroom slippers, darker towels should you have tanning products, a jar of treats in the kitchen, magnet wooden trays on the sofa (to put our tea and snacks on), there was even a picnic basket downstairs! We really loved our stay here and would definitely recommend:)

It was very clean with everything you needed. Colette was always available but we also had our privacy. It was lovely and quiet and very comfortable.
There was nothing we didn't like.
Really fantastic accomodation and very friendly hosts, will be back.
The annex was perfect for the two of us and location wise let us explore the local area
Easy check-in with verification from the owners (Colette & Paul). Charming grounds, clean and updated apartment with full amenities. Complete privacy but Colette was always nearby in order to assure everything was to our satisfaction. Will come back!

The hosts made us feel very welcome. The accommodation was spotless with lots of little touches that made it special. It's in a beautiful location, secluded but convenient. Everything about our stay was superb. We would definitely stay here again.
Nothing we didn't like.
Everything the Accommodation was excellent, Collette our host made us very welcome
Nothing all was Excellent
A Little Paradise with Heart – Our Stay with Collette & Paul Even before our arrival, we were warmly and reliably looked after by our hosts. Collette provided us with all the necessary information, so we easily found the accommodation. Access to the property and the apartment was also absolutely seamless. The accommodation itself is lovingly furnished – cozy, practical, and equipped with everything you need for everyday life. Whether cooking or washing – everything was easily done. Particularly warm: Immediately after our first personal meeting, Collette surprised us with a generous selection of toys for our little daughter (2+). There was also a children's house on stilts with a slide, a sandbox, and a huge garden – a true paradise for the little ones! During the five days, we thoroughly enjoyed the peace, nature, and the loving atmosphere. Collette was always available to offer advice and tips about the surrounding area – always helpful and welcoming. We say from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you, Collette & Paul – for your warmth, the wonderful accommodation, and the great communication. We’ll be back – Thank you!
Everything about the property from design to comfort and surrounding views from the velux windows. The hosts were also extremely welcoming and the location is quite rural which is exactly what I wanted, so peaceful and quiet. Slept like a log. Place was also very clean it was such a pleasure staying here thanks again

Everything about the apartment was great. The decor was especially nice. The owners where very nice and welcoming.
Modern, warm, quiet and secure with plenty parking and convenient to local amenities. Paul and Collette were great hosts.
It was very clean and tidy. Beautiful house, Colete was kind and made us feel welcomed. 😊
Everything!!! The Annex is a home away from home. It had everything and more - and so beautifully appointed, with the most comfortable bed i have ever slept on! I had a superb stay - i didn't want ot leaver, and Colette and her husband were sensational hosts. Loved every minute!
Lovely, quiet space with everything needed for a relaxing stay. There were also friendly dogs around. Everything felt new and charmingly decorated. The host explained things well,helpful to an American traveler.
I got a bit lost, only because I was looking for a big sign. It does help to have a car although Clones is only a few minutes away. I would stay here again if fortune brings me back to this lovely area.
Clean, beautiful and amazing hosts. It’s not often that photos do you do accommodation justice, this home is so perfect, spacious and in a truly wonderful setting. It had more than enough amenities and made for a perfect place to stay when we traveled to attend a wedding at Hilton Park.
Everything was excellent! The place was so cozy and tidy and the hostess was really kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay there.

The interior of the property was so well designed, amazing attention to detail, quality finishes and fabrics, great practical facilities and great comfort. It was so clean it was like no one had previously stayed there. There is an efficient water heat booster for the shower and central heating if required. There is a refrigerator, oven, microwave oven, kettle and coffee maker. It is so comfortable and practical, like a home away from home.
There was nothing that I could point to, I was very happy and family who dropped in were very impressed also.
We had a fabulous stay at the Old Farmhouse Annex, it is surrounded by wonderful countryside and yet very close to town. The accommodate was exceptional on every level. The kids didn't want to leave it and I would highly recommend a stay there. Jacinta

Beautifully finished apartment with every mod con. Welcoming hosts who were so helpful. Spotlessly clean with high quality bed linen. Attention to detail outstanding with a full set of darker towels for those using tanning products.
My only suggestion is the addition of a non slip shower mat for older people like me!
Bucolic setting, luxury furnishings and amenities.
Nothing.
Beautiful property, immaculately clean and well equipped. Nespresso machine is a nice touch. Thankyou Collette.

Lovely friendly host. Accommodation was warm and cosy, anything you needed was there.
Friendly welcome, spotless, comfortable and modern. Everything you need for your stay is available
A little remote but it's a great location for country walks and cycling
This was lovely, modern and comfortable accommodation, recently established in a stylish and thoughtful way, We were made to feel very welcome, with the hosts living nearby and always ready to help us in any way.
We couldn't really fault this property.
The Annexe offers superbly appointed accommodation in a delightful rural setting. Colette and Paul are the most welcoming and hospitable hosts. Most highly recommended for a totally relaxing stay.
Having to leave. ☹️
This property was stunning and the owners were fantastic, was amazing looking out over fields. Just beautiful . will stay here again In the future.
I’m a smoker, there was a table and chairs outside, but had to walk down the dark lane to smoke as wasn’t allowed to smoke on the premises, but still worth the stay
We had a lovely stay in Old Farmhouse Annex. Colette and the family were so lovely! Location was brilliant, apartment was so clean and modern and had everything we needed!
Wow, just wow. Fabulously decorated, luxury accommodation with really lovely hosts in a beautiful setting. Separate bedroom with very comfortable bed, rain shower, large towels, even slippers if you want them! The kitchen had what we needed to cook for ourselves and even had a Nespresso machine which was very much appreciated as was the 5G WiFi. I absolutely recommend and would stay here again.
Nothing. It exceeded expectations.
Everything was great and Collette was most helpful!
No complaints at all!

Our host was lovely and very friendly. The property was spot on and even looks better in person, everything needed has been provided. Easy location to find and about 5-10 minutes drive from Centre. Beautiful Apartment with location surrounded by nature and a great view of the Stars at night. 110% worth every penny and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and amazing get away.
Nothing to dislike
Collette was very welcoming and the annex/apartment was extremely comfortable.
need a car or bike to get there. not a problem for us.
Really really beautiful location. The apartment was very clean and very modern. Had everything you'd need for your stay. Great location only about 20 to 25 mins from Cavan and Monaghan so brilliant for exploring. Lots of lakes and walking trails around. Would definitely stay again and recommend
