    “We enjoyed our stay, but the cottage was not up to our expectations.”

    It really needs updating. The crockery was very mismatched and some of it chipped. We had to wash cups and glasses before using them. Sean the owner is a lovely friendly guy, he made us feel very welcome and said if you need anything just let me know. So we asked if we could have the heating on morning and night, but it was never on in the morning and only occasionally in the evening, even though we asked twice. The cottage was convenient for visiting Longford though.

About the location

BALLINAMUCK, COUNTY LONGFORD

Aughnacliffe 6 miles; Newtownforbes 9.5 miles; Longford 12 miles; Cavan 16 miles; Carrick-on-Shannon 25.5 miles.

The historic village of Ballinamuck is situated in the north of County Longford, close to the borders of Leitrim and Cavan. Literally translated to ‘mouth of the ford of the pig’, Ballinamuck is a wonderful area to discover the mass of farmland, lakes, low lying hills and pristine boglands of North Longford. Ballinamuck was once the site of the Battle of Ballinamuck and there is a local heritage centre which houses an interesting exhibition of the events of the battle. The centre also offers guidance on local walks, which retrace the steps of those who fought during the battle. Fishing, cycling and walking are very popular in this region, with endless miles of unspoilt countryside to discover and explore. The local pub is an old thatch pub with another large pub where you can have a nice evening meal also. The village has a large play area for kids and a basketball court also. Just a short drive away is the vibrant town of Longford and the impressive St Mel’s Cathedral, offering a superbly central base for touring the heart of the country, with Dublin, Galway, Sligo, Enniskillen and Mayo, at most, two hours away!
