  • "Total escape!"

    !! This summarises The Derries. If you are looking to have a total break from it all then this is the place to go. The only sounds you will hear are birds singing ! Ronan and Maggie are always at hand for any issues. The house is beautiful and extremely well equipped ....no skimping here...including a plentiful supply of logs for the stove- thanks!! Due to it's amazing remoteness would recommend bringing some food supplies if you can...just saves the hassle of looking. For somewhere to eat definitely make the The oak room restaurant in Cavan a must visit Thanks again to Ronan and Maggie for all their efforts ...I know was a lot of work to enable us to come after an unfortunate accident with previous tenants

The property

Ballinagh 7.4 miles.

Nestled in rural Ireland in County Cavan near Ballinagh on the banks of the River Erne is The Derries.

This wonderful, detached, white-washed holiday home benefits from breath-taking views across the countryside, a spacious open-plan living space, ample off-road parking for ten cars, large garden with raised terrace and external kitchen, as well as three well-appointed bedrooms and access to riverside walks and the loughs; a delightful dwelling for families and friends looking to explore the wonders of Ireland.

Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home where after a day full of exploration you can unwind on the plus sofas in front of the TV and the warmth of the crackling woodburning stove.

Later, step into the fully-equipped kitchen to rustle up a delicious meal that the whole family can enjoy around the dining table or outside upon the patio furniture with the Irish countryside providing a memorable backdrop.

On sunny days, utilise the barbecue and gas hob in the covered, external to cook up a storm or simply savour the last light over County Cavan with a glass of wine in hand.

When the evening draws to a close, travel back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in either the shower room on the ground floor or the one on the first then choose between three bedrooms; there are two doubles and a triple bunk room.

If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic holiday home venture to the nearby village of Ballinagh where you can stock up on all your self-catering essentials at the local store or enjoy an evening out at surrounding pubs like White’s Bar Lough Gowna, Creegans Pub, Murtagh's Pub or enjoy a meal at Caseys Steakbar.

This property lies close to the river and adjoining lakes and is an excellent spot for fishing.

County Cavan is a haven for those looking to explore the great outdoors with an abundance of walks laced throughout the countryside or amble around the ample loughs and the banks of the River Erne.

Be sure to venture to Killykeen Forest Park to tour 600 wooded acres, dotted with lakes offering hiking, fishing and even wild swimming!

Experience all this and more from The Derries.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
