After a rocky start to the visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the range of breakfast options and the staff were extremely helpful. Great to see a big vegetarian fry being offered. I loved the garden walk which we discovered just before checking out.

It was a last minute booking which we were lucky to get. The room was very spacious, overlooking the lake was fantastic, with a gorgeous view via the wall of windows. The bed was extremely comfortable and the hosts were brilliant! Easy to check in and self check out. Parking right outside, I will definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in the area.

The Hotel had great facilities and walks around the golf course in the grounds so we did not venture out much. We drove through Ballyconnell on our Way up to Marble Arch Caves which was a 35 Minute drive from the Hotel and is well worth a visit.

Ballyconnell is very small but it's in a naturally beautiful and historical area. There are lovely loop walks around the town and along the river. Do some research beforehand and plan a few stops on route to explore the area (i.e. the Cavan Way, Cavan Burren Park, the various caves and forest parks and lakes nearby). There are some hidden gems and it's well worth it. For most of these, you will need a car though. It's ideal for people who just want to switch off for a few days.

Location staff amenities bedrooms are all great. There was entertainment on both nights. Very friendly homely feel to the Hotel. Quality of food especially vegetables on the night we ate there did not meet expectations for the price we paid in the Conal Cearnach Restaurant.

Lovely local town, with kids planning ahead would be necessary to entertain them. Not far from Cavan town, Enniskillen also. Lots of local lakes and Slieve Russell hotel very close. Lough Key Forrest Park is about 40 mins away in Leitrim and great for a day out.

Slieve Russell is located about 3 miles outside Ballyconnell...
Slieve Russell is located about 3 miles outside Ballyconnell, Ballyconnell is a small town with a small number of shops, pubs/ restaurants, and a church and school. It also has a lovely river walk. The grounds attached to Slieve Russell hotel are quite extensive. There is a 3km (approx ) beautiful walk around the lake which borders their championship golf course. There is also a smaller golf course within the grounds, as well as at least two tennis courts. The pool is great for families. My wife enjoyed a fab 'facial' in their CIUIN spa. We stayed two nights, and never left the hotel environs, as we had everything we needed on site. There are also lots of places of interest to visit locally or within 30 minutes by car.
The cottage is along a very nice, but narrow, country road and only a couple of miles from the Slieve Russell Hotel.
We were at a family wedding there and stayed in Wisteria Cottage as a party of 5 ( my wife, her 2 brothers and her mother.)
The cottage is really at the backdoor of the owners' home and the keys to the property were left in the door.
The cottage is very handy for anyone at a wedding in the Slieve Russell, but you still need to drive there.
Catherine was a wonderful host who went out of her way to help us even before we got there. Giving us directions and help with finding the church where the wedding ceremony was taking place. ( a lot of back roads ) and her husband very kindly dropped us back to the hotel to collect our car, nothing was too much. Would highly recommend Lake avenue house !
First class accommodation, very comfortable room and bed. Use of lovely communal lounge with tea/coffee facilities. Breakfast served in lovely dining room with delicious breakfast options. Great location within a few minutes drive to local restaurants/pubs and sightseeing at the local villages of Belturbet and Ballyconnell.
We are 3 retired siblings who all felt this accommodation was 5 stars. The host was welcoming, positive and helpful. The House was beyond clean / spotless from the bathroom,, comfortable beds and linens to all the surface areas. The breakfast was wonderful, again something you expect from 5 star hotel.
Beautifully located in the middle of the forest (but close by other lodges so not scary). A 10 minute drive from the Slieve Russel hotel which is great for a nice lunch. The cabin is really cosy and homely and clean. The phone coverage is patchy meaning lots of great conversation without distraction.
Wonderful gem situated in the heart of Cavan. Sheila and staff were wonderful, made us feel right at home. If you’re travelling through and looking for a nice quiet stay, you’d be missing out if you didn’t come here. oh, did I mention the food is also amazing? thank you so much- we will be back :)
Catherine was an excellent host, made us feel very welcome. The room was comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was delicious, best coffee I had during our visit through Ireland. The location is serene and a great base to explore the Lake Counties of Cavan & Leitrim.
We were well received slightly earlier than planned but welcomed nevertheless. Very pleasant hosts. Breakfast next morning was Excellent. Room very clean and well appointed. lovely location and very handy for wedding reception at Slieve Russell hotel nearby.
Great location, quiet but still walking distance into Ballyconnell town, very spacious, really clean. Only stayed 2 nights but it had everything you need for a longer stay. Amanda was a fab host, great communication and so welcoming
