Philomena was a excellent host. The breaks was beautiful 😍
The mattress on the double bed was a little tired. May need to be replaced but the overall stay was just lovely
The house and surrounding area was absolutely beautiful 😍
Absolutely noting everything was amazing Family run business Lovely people I came with autistic children they loved everything about here the lake was a big hit we sat there for the whole day while kids played and enjoyed the scenery 5 min drive to town for food snd shops Definitely coming back
Host Philomena couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful making us a pot of tea and giving us a lift to Crover house for a wedding Room was spotless & cooked breakfast fabulous. Excellent value for money
Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin die uns mit Ratv und Tat zur Seite stand. Gleich beim Eintreffen haben wir einen Tee/Kaffee angeboten bekommen. Ausstattung des Zimmers und des Badezimmers war toll. Wir hatten ein wunderbares Frühstück und eine tolle und ruhige Nacht. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen
The host, location and breakfast was great 👍 👌 😋 I will definitely stay here again. Great fishing spot.
Location was excellent as we were attending a wedding in Crover house.
Everything was perfect no issues.
Philomena was a wonderful hostess who was incredibly helpful and attentive. . Great location close to the lake.
Lack of eating options for traveller nearby but that is reflective of the area, not the accommodation.
A wonderful welcoming host, spotlessly clean and an excellent breakfast. We also found it very easy to organise a taxi into Ballyjamesduff.
TV in the rooms would be a nice bonus but otherwise everything was perfect.
On arrival we we greeted by Philomena,,who was such a lovely lady,our room was perfect and we were served a delicious breakfast the next morning
Nothing,it was perfect
Philomena was very helpful & friendly and also the lady on breakfast
The beds were extremely uncomfortable, toilet was not bolted to the ground of the bathroom properly (wobbly when sat on), couldn't work the shower. No sign on door to tell you where the bathroom was. Full breakfast was a rasher sausage and egg. No beans, tomato, hash brown or pudding. No TV in room.
We had a wonderful night in hollywell lodge. A very short drive to crover house. Philomena was a fantastic host and breakfast was absolutely delicious. I would recommend hollywell lodge to anyone. Thanks again!
From the moment we arrived,Philomena welcomed us at the door.She was so warm and pleasant and made us tea/buns while we checked in.My mother has poor mobility issues and she insured that we got a downstairs bedroom beside the bathroom.She also brought us by taxi to our wedding venue that evening and we experienced the most amazing breakfast the following morning after spending the night in such comfy beds.Honestly we had such an amazing stay and will definitely be recommending this place to others.
Very friendly and nice breakfast
Wonderful stay at Holywell Lodge. Our host drove us into the city and was incredibly attentive while still giving us our space, which we really appreciated. She even helped arrange a taxi for us to get to Dublin. She and her family were so sweet, and the food was great.
Nothing. It was super peaceful and enjoyable.
No mention of safer bathroom on booking .com arrival was chaotic.Hist not available and person did not not know number or allocation of rooms . It resulted up in two parties changing rooms twice. This is not. Difficulties allocating three rooms out of four. Three bathroom available but two Paris shared a bathroom for no apparent reason. No door on one room. Very disorganised
Allocation of rooms . Clear information of bathroom situation at point of booking .
Convenient
Philomena was very welcoming and the place was very quiet comfortable and absolutely spotless.
nothing
Smooth check-in, lovely views, and a wonderful atmosphere in the place, Philomena was a brilliant and accommodating host. We were attending a wedding nearby in Crover House and she made it so easy to get there and back. A very comfortable bed, and a really nice ensuite bathroom in our room. Our plans changed last minute on our third day meaning we needed to leave one night early, and she was incredibly kind about it. Highly recommended.
Tolles Frühstück, extra Wünsche erfüllt. Sehr, sehr nette Gastgeber.
Philomena was so lovely and kind. Such a gem and breakfast was excellent! We stayed 3 nights because we had a wedding at Crover house so it was a perfect location for that!
Place was fab, the owner was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was lovely and room very comfortable and clean. Highly recommended.
Lovely warm welcome on arrival, very accommodating host. Beautiful home with a comfortable, spacious room and a great shower. Breakfast was tasty too. Would happily stay again.
Grossartige Gastgeberin
Lovely friendly hospitality. Very accommodating if your a wedding guest in Crover house
Perfect stay . Thanks .
Nothing it was great
Philomena couldn’t do enough for you and the best host!!!
Everything was 110%
It was a great wee spot. Nothing was a bother. Philomena is a great host. She couldn't go enough for us
Friendly welcome and easy to navigate to.. Philomena was exceptional from the clear communication and piloting the 3 groups over to Crover house for the wedding reception. Legends are not always wearing capes. Thank you so very much.
Leaving early to get home
Lovely, comfortable stay with a delicious breakfast. Philomena looked after us very well. Thank you.
Philomena was an outstanding host. The place is beautiful and just the perfect location for the wedding we attended. Too marks all round
Only thing that we could improve was a veggie option at breakfast...but the scrambled egg we had was delish!
The place is a lovely home. Very accomodation and just genuinely kind people. Breakfast was amazing. Also attentive to our needs. Would book here again next time I’m in Cavan.
The hostess Philomena was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us
The lovely homely feel and how lovely the host was she made us so so welcome nothing was a bother x so relaxed and welcoming x great breakfast
There was nothing everything was homely proper Irish feel
Philomena's was a home away from home, the location was fantastic as we were attending a wedding in Crover. We were welcomed in and made comfortable the minute we landed, it was a lovely homely setting and so relaxed and my husband and I enjoyed the company of Philomena and the other guests at breakfast, her homemade brown bread was just incredible too, we will definitely stay again.
We had such a wonderful stay at this lovely B&B! Philomena and Fergus were amazing hosts – so welcoming and kind. The house is beautifully decorated and very cosy, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The full Irish breakfast was delicious! We’d definitely love to stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Les propriétaires sont super sympas, de bon conseil. Le logement est juste à côté du lac pour la peche
Tout etait ok pour moi
Attentive host, very good breakfast, convenient location, warm and cosy.
Sound insulation - could hear talking in the next room as if a TV was on.
Philomena and her husband were so welcoming going above and beyond for us,lovely homely feel to the b&b.room had everything I wanted extra pillows and blankets,water and it was so clean.
For me the location wasn’t great because we don’t drive and had to get a taxi,but I’d still stay here again
Booked to fish the lough adjacent to the lodge. Owners can't do enough to help you. We intend making it a yearly booking from no on.
Nothing negative,very helpful owners.
philomena the host was super accommodating, from arrival to checkout she was really attentive always checking in on us to make sure we were ok, all of the necessities were provided for, breakfast was great, cooked by herself. would highly recommended this place, especially if you’re attending a wedding at crover house which is literally a 4min drive away! overall great stay and would stay again.
nothing at all.
Close to crover house, full irish breakfast was unreal
Nice and comfortable
Nothing
Both Philomena and Fergus were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. They called the local hotel and made reservations for us and dropped us there for our meal.
Great!
Shared bathroom
We had a wonderful stay at Holywell Lodge with the best hosts Fergus and Philomena. Gorgeous area, just a few minutes walk down to a very large lake where you can rent boats. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Comfortable and spacious room with a lovely ensuite. Large sitting room area. Great breakfast. Fergus and Philomena could not do enough for us, we thoroughly enjoyed our unfortunately short stay. Many thanks.
Location A hidden gem. In beautiful countryside. Lane beside Lough Sheelin. Philomena was so kind. Nothing a problem. Really clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Lovely cup of tea. A relaxing stay. Thank you so much.
Everything. Easy to find. Near Kilnaleck. Really kind helpful lady. Rooms and bathroom clean. Beds really comfortable. Come and go with the key- if the weather is wet. Breakfast was excellent.
great location, lovely B & B. Great breakfast
Lovely situation near Lough Sheelin. Great set up for fishing with hire of boats and equipment with easy walk to Lough. Packed lunch can be provided. Philomena and Angus were lovely and social lounge in evening for relaxation and chat.
Nothing
Philomena was a lovely host, she honestly could not do more for us! We were attending a wedding in the Crover House Hotel which is just 4 minutes drive from the B&B so it was perfect! As it was a wedding we had a few drinks (as you do) but the beautiful Irish fry-up the next morning got us back on track! Ill definately stay there again if im in the area!!!
we recently stayed with philomena for a family wedding, very welcoming and really informative - great location for a wedding in Crover
Excellent breakfast.
Maybe a blackout blind
Very handy to the Crover hotel where I was working
En suite would be nice
Hosts were amazing, went above and beyond! Breakfast was exceptional.
Family environment
Fabulous hosts, so accommodating. Ideal location if you are attending a wedding at Crover House. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay Philomena! Delighted to have stayed at your lovely B&B.
The owners are so friendly and helpful
Philomena was a lovely host, so friendly and kindly gave us a lift to the nearby hotel for the wedding we were attending.
Owners went above and beyond to make our stay amazing best stay we have had
