Claim this listingStaying in Milltown
A small crossroads village in north Cavan, known locally for its parish church and its closeness to Drumlane Abbey.
Milltown is a small village in County Cavan, within the parish of Drumlane, that took its current name from a mill on the site, having earlier been known as Belnaleck. It’s a quiet rural crossroads rather than a town, so a B&B here suits visitors touring Cavan’s lakeland countryside rather than anyone looking for a busy centre.
The present St Patrick’s Church in the village dates from 1868, and the ruins of Drumlane Abbey, founded in the 6th century by St Mogue with surviving buildings from the 14th century, lie close by, giving the area a quiet historical interest alongside the lakes and drumlin countryside typical of this part of Cavan.

Booking Hawthorn Lodge direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Hawthorn Lodge 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.
