Claim this listingStaying in Ballyconnell
A tidy lakeland town on the Shannon-Erne Waterway in west Cavan, overlooked by the Slieve Russell hills and a short drive from the Fermanagh border.
Ballyconnell sits astride the Woodford River, part of the Shannon-Erne Waterway, the canal linking the Shannon to Lough Erne that was originally built in the 1850s and reopened for boating in 1993 after decades of disuse. The town itself has picked up numerous National Tidy Towns awards over the years, and the marina and waterway are as much a part of daily life here as the main street, with cruisers and canoes a common sight in summer.
As a base, Ballyconnell suits anyone interested in the water, in golf, or in exploring the border country. The four-star Slieve Russell Hotel and its golf course sit just outside the town beneath the Slieve Rushen hills, and the waterway itself is good for coarse fishing as well as boating. The town is also only a few kilometres from the Fermanagh border, putting Lough Erne and the wider Northern Ireland lakeland within easy reach for a day out.
Things to do near Dungimmon House
The Shannon-Erne Waterway
Ballyconnell sits directly on this canalised river system linking the Shannon to Lough Erne, originally opened in 1856 and revived for leisure cruising in 1993. The marina and towpath are the natural focus of a visit, whether you are on the water or simply walking alongside it.
Slieve Russell Hotel and golf course
Just outside the town beneath the Slieve Rushen hills, this is one of Cavan’s best-known golf courses, drawing golfers to the area on its own merits alongside the waterway.
Border country day trips
Ballyconnell lies only a few kilometres from County Fermanagh, making Lough Erne and the towns of the Northern Ireland lakeland an easy day trip across the border.
Coarse fishing and archaeology
The area is well regarded for coarse fishing along the waterway, and the surrounding countryside holds sites of archaeological interest, including Iron Age remains at nearby Killycluggin.
Getting to Ballyconnell
Ballyconnell is on the R200 in west Cavan, around twenty-five minutes from Cavan town and a similar distance across the border to Enniskillen in County Fermanagh. It is roughly two hours from Dublin by car. There is no rail line in this part of Cavan, so a car is the practical way to reach the town and to make use of the surrounding waterway and lakeland.
Booking Dungimmon House direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Dungimmon House holds a 4-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
