Monaghan B&Bs
B&Bs in Monaghan for Castle Leslie and Patrick Kavanagh country
Monaghan is drumlin country, a landscape of small rounded hills and quiet lakes left behind by glaciers, and its B&Bs sit close to two very different draws. Castle Leslie Estate at Glaslough carries a national profile of its own, while Inniskeen keeps the memory of poet Patrick Kavanagh, who was born and is buried there.
Glaslough and Castle Leslie Estate
Glaslough is built around Castle Leslie Estate, a historic estate that hosted Paul McCartney's wedding and remains one of the county's best-known names. The village itself keeps a tidy, lived-in character rather than feeling built purely for visitors, with B&Bs a short walk from the estate gates.
Carrickmacross and the lace tradition
Carrickmacross gave its name to a distinctive style of lace-making produced in the town for generations, and the craft is still marked locally today. It sits toward the south of the county, handy for anyone approaching Monaghan from Dublin or Louth.
B&Bs in Inniskeen, near the Patrick Kavanagh Centre
Inniskeen is the home village of poet Patrick Kavanagh, and the Patrick Kavanagh Centre there is built around his life and work. A B&B in the village suits anyone tracing his footsteps, or simply wanting a quieter corner of the county away from the N2.

Not sure where to base yourself?Monaghan B&Bs near the town, Emyvale and the Northern Ireland border
Monaghan sits harder against Northern Ireland than most Republic counties, bordering both Armagh and Fermanagh, so its B&Bs often serve travellers crossing rather than only those staying put.
Monaghan town
Monaghan town is the county's main hub, with the everyday amenities Glaslough and Inniskeen do not carry, and it makes a sensible base for exploring the rest of the county by car. Rossmore Forest Park lies just outside the town, a wooded estate with waymarked walking trails.
Emyvale and Milltown
Emyvale sits close to the Northern Ireland border on the road toward Armagh, while Milltown to the north gives a smaller, rural alternative for anyone wanting to stay well away from the main roads.
