Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Breakfast was self-service, which was ok as the cupboard was full. Location was in town centre, close to places I was visiting. The hostest was friendly, welcoming & helpful!
Very near busy road if you were light sleeper
The facility is so conveniently close to Cavan town and easily accessible.
The headboard is not stable. May need to be changed.
The cleanliness, location and the behavior of the host were amazingly good
Good location, friendly host. Nice and clean. Could not fault it. Definitely recommend
Breakfast was good, plenty of options
Nothing
Nothing the host was abusive
Nothing i stayed some extra nights the host insisted on cash payments and not credit card and was not willing to provide any receipts for my company
Always a pleasure to stay
Very clean and comfortable. Within walking distance of Cavan town.

Good location with parking and flexible host.
Advertised as Bed and Breakfast was hardly accurate. A self help selection of some very basic cereals, a bit of ham, cheese and bread hardly qualifies as "Brteakfast included"
The door latch on my room was inoperative, requiring the door to be locked to keep the door closed
Close to town very clean and tidy lovely host

My friend and I stayed last night . We were greeted by Mimi, she was lovely and welcoming. The room was basic but ideal for what we wanted. The bed was comfortable and the place was clean and everything was hassle free.
Location to Cavan equestrian centre was good, the host was lovely and I feel bad writing this review but if we had another option to stay elsewhere we wouldn’t have stayed.
Very worn and dated made it feel unclean, broken floor boards and big dips/holes in the floor upstairs, sockets that didn’t work and a socket hanging off the wall over the bed, not the XL beds we had booked ( 2 rooms 3 adults 1 toddler) we had to sleep 3 in one room as the 2nd room was so unsafe, boiler in cupboard making loud noise the entire time, beds were okay comfort wise but you couldn’t get a decent sleep with so much noise from the boiler, the road, other guests. The head boards were also falling off. No private parking as stated we where shown the road or told try round the corner there probably won’t be space later (again I had a 2year old with me easy onsite parking are things I looked for when booking). I wouldn’t recommend especially not for 90euro per room per night I wish I booked and air bnb or even camped instead.
The host, Mimi, was friendly and helpful. Exact arrival time had not been communicated, but she came back from town to check me in when I arrived (phone number at doorbell). The location is a pleasant 15-minute walk from Cavan town centre. Use of a kitchen and living room with TV was welcome.
I don't usually book rooms with no TV or kettle in the room, but this was a last-minute booking. Check out at 10. Room was comfortable and clean but it definitely does look tired and needs updating and a bit of a makeover; for example, there's no need for a chest-of-drawers in a room for tourists (long-term stays, yes). There were no clothes hangers at all - I used the curtain rail. The room has no en-suite bathroom, but I had a private one just outside the room.
There was alot of noise from upstairs st 3 in morning
The host was so so lovely, the area is quiet very minimal road noise. Room was spotless and bed was very comfortable. Could not have asked for very much more.
Great location. Very clean & super friendly & helpful host
Friendly staff. And clean.
The quite.
Host was so friendly and welcoming. Basic but everything we needed as we were attending a wedding in Farnham Estate.
All good was at family wedding did not get bfast as was meeting family all looked wow there ty
Can't fault it no issues
Near to the place where I was working
To stuff for bathroom
The location was perfect, because I had to visit someone in hospital. The hostess went out of her way to help me, because it was a very late arrival. The facilities were very clean and I slept very well.
I was a bit disappointed that the breakfast was self serve, but everything you need fir a quick breakfast was available.
Couldnt sleep, Curtains too thin & light, don't fit window, street lights very bright so room too bright to sleep. Windows very poor quality, no sound barrier to the outside, busy road so traffic, passers by etc & the room was very cold. Bathroom light constantly flickers. Beeping sound every 20/30 seconds outside bedroom door. Bedding needs to be replaced due to wear & tear
Friendly owner, very clean, easy to find. There is always bread, jam, butter, coffee available. Recommend!
Nothing to add.
Nothing, Possibly the worst accommodation Iv ever stayed in
Everything
Staffs rude there was no heating in the building was freezing and it the winter
No heating staff was rude barged into my room wen I was in bed and forced me out didnt give me time to get dressed would not recommend deserves to be shutdown and was freezing
The host was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
Thicker blinds or curtains would have been great, to prevent streetlight glare from flooding the room.
Good price for location
Very hard small double bed, no cooked breakfast.
The host was absolutely lovely and so helpful even recommending where to go for dinner in the town. Taxi cards in the kitchen table. It was very clear the host went above and beyond to make everything comfortable and homely Complimentary tea and coffee was a lovely touch We had a later check out which was amazing as it suited my bus time so well. Extra blanket on the bed, toiletries for the shower and towels awaiting us Shower was stunning so easy to use and adjust
The bed was slightly uncomfortable as moving made it bang off the wardrobe beside it. The headboard was also an issue as moving in sleep would make bang off the wall and we were concerned about waking others too
The comfortable bed, the decor. Able to use the facilities at your leisure. It was so cozy.
Just the tv in no.5 wasn't working. Wanted to watch a bit of telly. Wasn't a big deal..
Clean and friendly guest hluse
Noisey guests coming in at 3am and being kept awake until 5am
Grand
Everything clean and nice
Was all perfect
Liked the freedom and not being pressed. The breakfast was really good. The manager was most genuinely personable.
I’m sure it’s difficult but my partner would have liked a Gluten free option for breakfast.
Location Very friendly staff Clean

Clean, home from home, great facilities, kitchen, seating area etc. Bed was very comfortable and the room decor was boutique like and quirky. Very nice stay overall, host Mimi was very welcoming and friendly.
The only pleasantries was the mattress, and once the mattress topper was removed, stained
EVERYTHING! My wake up call on the last day was a fire alarm and threatened with the guards if i did not leave the property before 10 am (checkout at 10 am). Structural faults, failed fire safety certificates. Stain on the carpets also carpet no fitting the floor of the room , curtains that do not close fully ( staying on the ground floor), shower unit that cut the ankles of my partner. Dust, dirt mould and blood stains on verious surfaces. A cabinet above the bed that provides a cold breeze across the room. Upon greeting we were reminded that patients from cavan general hospital do attempt to access the property(psychiatric unit in the hospital). Happy to provide pictures
It was in an excellent position for our needs
Everything was great
Easy to find and parking close by. Welcoming host. Comfortable bed and clean.
There was an alarm which beeped regularly through the night which made it a bit more difficult to sleep.

Nothing to dislike.
