Pauline is the ultimate host - friendly professional and helpful. The property and room were lovely, every detail was catered for and clearly set out. I loved the sustainability focus of this B&B - endeavouring to make a meaningful contribution to reducing waste and it showed at every turn, from the use of towels and mobile charging station to elimination of single serve plastic containers at breakfast (and a comprehensive menu selection choice that catered for every option!), Hawthorn Lodge is a delightful, sustainable place to stay and one that we will be sure to return to. Excellent All Round!

Pauline kept in good communication and gave us a friendly welcome! We had a small twin room at the back of the house which had a lovely view over a lake and was nice and quiet. The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had - double-sided A4 of options to choose from the night before to be more sustainable and also a wide choice of locally sourced ingredients through the Created in Cavan initiative. All in all, we had a really lovely stay and it was great to have somewhere safe and dry to store our bicycles overnight.

The room was a bit warm and we couldn't figure out a way of turning down the radiator.

This is my absolute favourite stay I have had since moving to Ireland 5 yrs ago and we travel a lot around Ireland. Rooms were massive and spacious, well decorated, and serviced daily. They follow a no waste policy for bfast, so you order only what you want and the amount you want. Breakfasts were beyond amazing! Excellent food!!!! We did an extremely early bfast at 6h30 and were still served with a smile, delicious food and even packed lunches! Surrounding area has loads to explore, the local pub is within walking distance and the views are stunning!

Wow! Pauline was amazing. The room was great, the breakfast was awesome. My husband and I have never had a breakfast like it. So much choice and all freshly cooked. The quality of products was right up there, at the top. We had a beautiful view of a lake which changed as the sun and clouds moved. I was on crutches which made getting up the stairs a little difficult, but it was worth it. We would definitely go back. Thank you Pauline for a wonderful stay.

There isn’t anything negative, it’s all positive 😊

Excellent service. Pauline is sn exceptionally host. The food choice was excellent and the food was perfection. The place was spotless. The double bed was large for a change not small as in most places. Better than a hotel. Bedroom separate dressing room and a large ensuite. Would definitely recommend and would and plan on going back. Great pubs and places to eat in Belturbert only 10 min drive away

Our recent stay at this bed and breakfast was an absolute delight! The family room, with its spacious layout and the charming small room with a bookshelf, exceeded our expectations. The thoughtful amenities, including a well-stocked kettle, tea, coffee, and snacks, added a comforting touch. The staff's professionalism, politeness, and genuine helpfulness created a warm and inviting atmosphere. From local tips to room assistance, their dignified service made us feel like cherished friends. Breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious variety of freshly cooked options. The cozy dining area enhanced the overall experience. In summary, this bed and breakfast combines comfort, warmth, and thoughtful details for a truly exceptional stay. Highly recommended for those seeking a haven of hospitality.

Nothing in particular.

Beautiful Everything is perfectly placed and thought out The breakfast menu was the most detailed I’ve ever seen, and so did not disappoint we highly recommend the Omelette, so big I needed a take away Pauline & her husband were lovely and set up a sweet table for us in the afternoon sun so we could enjoy our wine & cheese The morning Sunrise was breathtaking

Nothing

Spacious room, extra large bed & very comfortable. Room was very clean with excellent natural light and magnificent view down to lake. Pauline our host was wonderful with her knowledge of local area along with what tourist attractions. Pauline’s breakfast is fresh, delicious & absolutely wonderful! Thank you Pauline for having us 🇦🇺

Thanks to the hotel owners for their warm hospitality. After a day full of meetings , I was looking for a peaceful place to rest — and here I enjoyed a wonderful night’s sleep in complete silence. In the morning, a hearty full Irish breakfast in the dining room with beautiful lake views gave me the perfect start to the day.

Beautiful view from the window and dining room at the garden, lake and nearby fields! Room very comfortable, nicely decorated, all necessities available. Even books were available to read. The host, Pauline, was super nice and very well organised. She gave us good advice regarding events happening in the town. The owners are aiming to make their service as sustainable as possible. Breakfast was made to perfection from local produce. We also had a chance to purchase jam from a local producer. The lodge and vicinity is very quiet.
