WONDERFUL old ceiling beams in the kitchen and living areas of this former country cottage in Co Cavan point to its century-old heritage. Originally a traditional Irish dwelling, Drumbriste House . . . picturesquely set three-quarters of a mile from Loch Gowna . . . was extended and renovated 20 years ago to guesthouse accommodation standard. The property is surrounded by one acre of mature gardens, and sits within the forest and lake countryside of south-west Cavan, well known as a popular angling area.
Ongoing improvements in the motorway system mean that Dublin city centre is just over an hour and a half drive away;
Belfast within two hours.
Accommodation is divided between two wings of the house, with the kitchen and lounge placed centrally. Both these rooms are in a traditional country style which adds to the old-world character.
Interior space overall briefly comprises the reception porch; lounge/diningroom;
kitchen; nine bedrooms (six of which are en-suite); separate shower room; and linen room with stairs up to the attic.
