The house was perfect for us and very homely with everything you might need for a self catering holiday. Terri and Mary were great hosts and Mary gave us a lovely welcome even though she'd been hanging about for nearly an hour waiting on us to arrive as we were running late. Ballinamore is a great base for visiting attractions in Cavan, Sligo, Roscommon and Leitrim. Smyths Bar in the town does great food and a nice pint and won't break the bank! Arigna Mine is well worth a visit and good on a wet day. There is a nice walk up the mountain to Carrowkeel megalithic tombs - think Newgrange but multiple and in miniature. Cavan Burren is also a nice area with trails which allow dogs. In Ballinamore itself there is a beautiful walk along the canal.
