The Anglers Rest is a family-run business with eight ensuite modern bedrooms located in Ballyconnell, in the heart of West Cavan.
The business is now in its fourth generation, having been in the family since the early 1900’s.

Whether guests are looking for outdoor action and adventure, fine food, angling and water sports or the more laid back delights of the local countryside and historical sites, Anglers Rest is the perfect place to stay when visiting Ballyconnell, County Cavan.

We work to ensure that tourism makes a positive social contribution so that it benefits our community as well as our guests. We contribute to the local economy by maintaining and supporting local employment, by sourcing services and produce locally wherever possible.

There are 18 people employed between full time and part time, all are local. The pub is run here also which allows guests to meet locals and vice versa. Fishermen share stories of the lakes and fish. As much food as possible is sourced locally such as Sheelin Meats, Local Fruit & Veg, Eggs etc. The business sponsors a number of local clubs, raffles and teams which helps to sustain the community.

We invest and innovate to ensure our experience meets or exceeds visitor expectations. We engage with visitors to ensure they know the special value of their visit and to make them aware of give-back and off-set opportunities in our destination.

This is done by providing information about the Geopark on our website and Social Media and ensuring that visitors get a good experience and knowledge of the lakes and surrounding area. The fact that local fishermen pass on stories really engages the guests, and makes them fall in love with Ballyconnell. There is a casual environment in the pub where everyone is welcome, visitors and locals.
