“It was magic in the middle of the woods in a River Valley log cabin”

Reviewed 23 Sep 2022

There's something magical about staying in a log cabin in the middle of the woods at River Valley, near Ballyconnell, in the middle of Cavan. The trees block out the wi-fi and the outside world. … More

“Stunning Cabin”

Reviewed 12 Sep 2022

I can not fault the location/setting of this stunning log cabin. There was plenty of space for us all - 6 adults and 2 kids, it was very clean and it had everything we needed. Although, some of us did find it a bit of a struggle without Wi-Fi (network signal was also limited) but we definitely made the most of our time there. The hosts, Colin & Magda, were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the neighbours opposite (who we assumed are residents there), they were fairly noisy / playing loud music until the early hours over 2 nights of our 3 night stay. Although, I’m assuming this was a one off, so it may have been just a case of unfortunate timing for us.

“Fabulous”

Reviewed 31 Aug 2022

This place is pure perfection, all I have ever dreamt of! The cabin (fantastic in itself) is located in the middle of forest very close to a river and a little boat marina, so plenty of opportunities for beautiful walks or to sit and relax listening to the sounds of nature. It's one of those places where the weather does not matter as its equally enjoyable on a sunny or a rainy day, we have spent a gorgeous morning sipping coffee on the patio watching the rain and it was lovely! The cabin is fully equipped, washing machine and dishwasher included, plenty of books, booklets about the attractions in the area, board games, TV, bbq etc, very comfortable beds and all very clean. We're already looking forward to come back next year, (with binocular to watch the squirrels and birds) , and we'd like to hire a boat for a couple of days too (looking online for a boat hire nearby) as the possibilities of boat trips are endless there! Big thanks to Colin and his daughter in law Magda for having us there and see you next year!

“Perfect retreat for solitude”

Reviewed 11 Oct 2021

Stayed here for a few days with 5 other adults, one toddler and our dog. Colin greeted us upon arrival and we spent a while chatting about the area and property. When I go to any place like this I always bring everything I think I’ll need but thankfully due to previous reviews they say you don’t need anything. I really cannot reiterate that enough, everything bar food is provided! Everything you need to cook for a full family and what you need to entertain them during the day is provided. Excellent documents are provided that show you great places to visit in the local area. We went to simply get away from our busy lives and relax in solitude and this provides that in spades. If you want to mingle Cavan is no more than 30 minutes away. Plenty of places to go and relax on a nice stroll, highly recommend killykeen forest park about 20 minutes away. The place is really easy to find the directions provided anyone can follow.
