Claim this listingStaying in Carrigallen
A small lakeland village in south Leitrim, known well beyond its size for its amateur drama and its position on the Shannon-Erne waterways.
Carrigallen is a quiet crossroads village whose biggest name is out of proportion to its size: the Corn Mill Theatre & Arts Centre, home to an amateur drama group founded in 1963 that has won the RTÉ All-Ireland Drama Final three times, sits right in the centre of the village and runs a year-round programme of theatre, music and festivals.
A B&B here suits a genuinely rural Leitrim stay, with the Shannon-Erne Waterway and the boating town of Ballinamore a short drive away, and Lough Rynn Estate near Mohill, with its historic house and gardens, also within easy reach for a quieter day out.
Things to do near Allendale
The Corn Mill Theatre & Arts Centre
Founded as an amateur drama group in 1963 and three-time winner of the RTÉ All-Ireland Drama Final, the company has run its own theatre in the centre of Carrigallen since 1989, with a programme of drama, music and festivals throughout the year.
The Shannon-Erne Waterway
This restored 63-kilometre canal links the River Shannon to the River Erne through Ballinamore, a short drive from Carrigallen, and is popular for cruising and canalside walks.
Lough Rynn Estate
Near Mohill, this historic estate has a walled garden and parkland open to visitors, a straightforward day trip from the village.
Getting to Carrigallen
Carrigallen is reached via the R201 and R199 regional roads, about thirty minutes from Cavan town and a similar distance from Carrick-on-Shannon, which has the nearest railway station. Dublin is around two hours away by car.
Booking Allendale direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Allendale holds a 3-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.
