"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
