The Arches

Part of out trip was set aside to meet up with distant relatives in the towns where our grandparents came from. One side was from Drumshanbo and the other from Kingscourt. The Arches farm was not only ideally located for this, but on its own, an amazing place. It’s a working farm on a huge property run by our host Pearl and the scenery and landscaping are right out of a scene from a postcard. We had a wonderful experience during out one night stay there. We arrived late and were able to drop our belongings and get to town just in time to make a dinner reservation. Pearl recommended the Breffni Arms hotel, and the dinner and service were spot on. I would highly recommend staying there if you are up in this part of Ireland.

Thank you so much for your very kind review and taking time to do so . It was a pleasure having you all stay with us while visiting your relatives,unfortunately it was late when you arrived and you were under time pressure. I hope you will return to Cavan in the future for a longer visit . Regards Pearl Kells

This was the first B&B of 6 that we stayed at. It was by far my favorite. We felt welcomed, had a beautiful clean room looking out the front where we could see the well cared for content happy cows.

Beautiful countryside setting of a fabulous B&B! Pearl was very welcoming to all six of us and treated us to her amazing homemade scones and jam. Breakfast was equally superb! Thank you for sharing all the information about farming and your gardens with us!

Thank you for your lovely review. It was great having you all from different parts of America getting together and visiting Ireland.It was lovely chatting to you all.

My family had a wonderful stay with Pearl and her husband. They could not have been more accommodating and generous with their time and information. The rooms were beautiful and the food delicious! We would recommend anyone looking for a country/farm experience to visit with Pearl and Wilson. They are certainly deserving of their four star status! Would also love to stay at their extended stay cottage in the future!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was great having you stay with us for two nights . It was a wonderful start to the New Year . We enjoyed discussing farming and the differences between Ireland and America . Perhaps you will be able to return and stay in our Self Catering Cottage in the future. .

As this being our very first B&B stay ever, the bar was set high! The hospitality of Pearl and Wilson was great and made us feel so comfortable. We enjoyed having space to stretch after a couple days of long travel, and the information exchanged about the farm was so nice. Scones, homemade jam, great breakfast, we just cant say enough nice things! THANK you both for such a wonderful stay, we wish we could have stayed longer!
