"Beautiful large house in a beautiful setting."
The house had everything you needed and plenty of kitchen equipment. You definitely need a car for travelling around as this is in the middle of the country side. The owner was great and contacted to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The house needs a little bit work here and there but overall was lovely. Thanks for a great stay!

"The house was amazing all around, great house, location and price."

"Huge detached house , set back from the road with a large secure garden for our dogs ."
Very spacious inside and , a few years ago , would have been beautiful inside . Drumlaney is in need of some tlc to bring it back to its best . The sofas in the sitting room are well past their best and should be removed , many of the walls are scuffed and marked and in need of a repaint to freshen them up . Cleanliness on the face of it was good but could definitely be better when you started looking . Cracked floor tiles and wall lamps that were not finished also let the place down . Our 2 dogs loved the space but were driven mad by the deluge of flies that were always in the house - you know there is a fly problem when you see fly spray , a fly swat and fly paper in the kitchen !! The en-suite in the master bedroom needs a mirror and the shower door refitting so it slides . It’s just lots of small things that add up to a property that is unfortunately below where it should be . The communications with the owner ,however , were top notch and were there whenever we needed them ……Would we go back ? Sadly no ….

"Myself and my family had a lovely stay at Drumlaney."
The property was very clean and comfortable for a large group while also allowing us to bring along our dog who is part of the family. We had some nice walks around castle saunderson and Belturbet. Stopping into the castle pub for a lovely lunch with our dog allowed inside too. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return in the future. The host was very friendly also.

"We had a wonderful week in Drumblaney house with our two dogs."
The house is very spacious and bright as is the garden very spacious which was great for our dogs. The sitting room is a very cosy,comfortable,relaxing room to sit in on a winter's evening with the fire lit. Close by there is a lovely lake across the road which is a nice place to walk around, also the grounds around Castlesaunderson is a beautiful quiet place for a wander and is dog friendly, we where lucky enough to have a deer cross our path on one of the mornings. We would definitely return there and highly recommend it.

Great place for a dog with loads of outdoor space for them to be free and run around. The area is great too, near great restaurants in Cavan and Butlers Bridge. Right beside the house is Saunderson Castle again great walks here to the old castle really beautiful with great wildlife.
