If in Kingscourt then a visit to Gartlans pub is a must. We got a very warm welcome and the interior is a throw back from years gone by. Traditional music every Sunday 6-930. And the pints of Guinness are top quality.

Elena is an award-winning Jewellery Designer, Goldsmith and Master Pattern maker, creating beautiful, modern pieces, in her own distinctly Celtic style. Elena has worked with the National Museum of Ireland and her work has been stocked in the British Museum. Collections Include; Children Of Lir, My Angel, Mise Eire and Oops A Daisy. The Jewellery Studio is located 3 miles from Cavan Town. It is a workshop first and foremost, not a retail shop in the normal sense. I have a few showcases, where customers can browse and buy my jewellery and also discuss their special requests with me. Sometimes I am in the middle of doing lots of noisy work, or I'm trying to get pieces made to deadlines, so it doesn't always suit to see visitors., as I said, it is a working workshop. Please ring, text or email before coming out to the studio, (it also gives me time to tidy up a bit!!) If you just call on spec, that's usually ok too, but... I might not be there...

Purchased a beautiful brooch from Elena for a special birthday gift for my auntie. Cannot recommend highly enough, Elena went above and beyond for my requests with the purchase and was so helpful throughout! It was presented beautifully with a personalised card!

As a family we'd thought of visiting this museum for quite some time. Why did we wait so long? The surroundings are beautiful and there was ample parking spaces. The museum has a fascinating outdoor space with a beautiful little Peace Garden for reflecting in, alongside two evocative experiences with the Battle of the Somme and Easter Rising exhbitions. The recreation of a World War 1 trench complete with information and audio points was very poignant. To be able to immerse yourself in the period and try to imagine what life must have been like for those serving and dying in those trenches was very moving and eye-opening indeed. Indoors there are exhibitions spread over 3 floors dealing with many periods of Ireland's history. To have so much under one roof is testament to those who have painstakingly put this museum with its abundance of artefacts and treasures together. Our daughter has severe sight problems but she found the museum to be very accessible and well lit, with the added bonus of the audio material outside helping her immerse herself in the Trench Experience. It certainly won't be as long until we are back for another visit. From our arrival at the museum, to our interaction with the lovely lady on reception/gift shop duty, and the abundance of treasures on show, this has been one of our best ever museum visits. One word of warning though, leave plenty of time for your visit to enable you to take full advantage of everything on offer. We definitely will arrive a bit earlier next time.

It’s at least 12 years since I last visited this establishment and I must say nothing in the standard of food has changed, on Thursday night last my partner and I visited here for dinner, we started with Garlic bread one plate between us absolutely beautiful two slices each, Followed by two minute stakes which were beautiful chips and onions pepper sauce and garlic sauce amazing to say the least. If that’s a minute steak I dread to think the seize of the full sirloin. The evening meal was beautiful and the staff amazing especially a lovely pleasant young lady very well done Anglers Rest, I will make sure it not as long before my next visit.

Tips for this place - 1) JUST GO. If your staying in the hotel, especially if the weather isn’t great, skip the hotels normal pool/ sauna etc and pay the extra for the thermal suite at least once. 2) take your own flip flop type things if you’re using the thermal suite. They supply the free hotel slipper type things 3) treatments are dear but you get the use of the thermal suite thrown in
