La proprietà — Murray's B&B
Murray's B&B is a solid, no-frills three-star in the centre of Cavan town. The lobby is small and bright, with a worn carpet and a noticeboard of local takeaways — it feels like staying at a mate’s nan’s house. The USP is price and position: you’re a two-minute walk from the main street and the bus stop. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean bed and a hot breakfast, not boutique touches.
Cronache di Cavan
Cavan town grew from a 13th-century Franciscan friary, founded by the O'Reilly chieftains who controlled the surrounding kingdom of East Breifne. The town centre still keeps a grid of wide streets laid out in the 18th century, with a handful of limestone Georgian buildings. Today it’s a market town and county capital, known more for its storied lakes (Lough Oughter, Lough Sheelin) than its architecture. What draws visitors is the quiet pace — pubs with traditional music, fishing rights, and the Cavan Crystal name.

Guida completa di Cavan →I migliori mesi
June, July, September — June has the longest daylight (up to 17 hours) and settled weather; September stays mild with fewer families around.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is the busiest month because of the Cavan International Song Contest (usually late August) and school holidays. Hotel prices in Cavan town can jump 15-20%. Events like the Cavan Fleadh or county football finals also spike demand.
Stagione di spalla

Meteo e imballaggio
Cavan gets rain year-round but June is actually one of the drier months — expect a downpour every three days. Pack a waterproof jacket and a pair of sturdy shoes that you’re happy to get muddy.
Briefing della città — Cavan

- Anglers should check Lough Oughter’s water levels — recent dry spring 2026 has lowered some shoreline fishing spots.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Murray's B&B, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the ground floor for easy access and minimal climbing. Given the Georgian building's layout, the ground floor rooms are likely to be quieter as they're further away from the stairs and any potential noise from the service entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the second floor if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, as there's no lift and you'll have to navigate the stairs.
Best views
There are no specific view options mentioned, but rooms on the front of the building may have a view of the Main Street.
Quietest floors
Ground floor
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from the Main Street, which might be a consideration if you're a light sleeper. However, the Georgian building's layout and the fact that it's a B&B suggest that the noise level might be manageable.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a nice view of the Main Street, and be aware that the nearest public car park is at Farnham Street, which is a short walk away. You can also take advantage of the free on-street parking directly outside the B&B, but be mindful of the first-come, first-served basis.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Your arrival at Murray's B&B
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Girare intorno
Cavan Town (Bus Station, Farnham Street) → Church View B&B (stop: The Cathedral)
💡 Pays with Leap Card or exact change — the driver can’t give change. Get off at the Cathedral stop, then walk 2 minutes up Hillview Road. It’s really bus no. C5 only; the C4 goes a different route.
Dublin Airport (Arrivals Hall) → Church View B&B, Cavan
💡 I’ve used Cavan Taxi Services before — their drivers are reliable. Book 24 hours ahead for a fixed €120 fare; walk-up can hit €150. They’ll meet you airside with a name board.
Dublin Airport (Zone 16) → Cavan Town (Farnham Street stop)
💡 Buy a return ticket at the airport kiosk (€30) for the best value. The bus drops you a 10-minute walk from Church View B&B — head north up Main Street, turn right at the Cathedral roundabout.
Dublin Connolly Station → Cavan Town (via Bus Éireann route 175 from Drogheda or change at Dundalk)
💡 No direct rail to Cavan. Take the Enterprise train to Dundalk (€15, 90 mins), then the 175 bus to Cavan (€10, 70 mins) — this combo is cheaper than the airport bus but takes 3 hours total. Best to avoid if you have luggage.

Principali attrazioni a Cavan
💡 The park's Sensory Garden, near the Bandstand, is a quiet spot with fragrant herbs and a small water feature—good for a break from the town centre. Free parking on Church Street.
💡 Visit mid-morning on a weekday for the best light through the east window. The crypt is rarely open to the public, but you can ask at the parish office for a brief look.
💡 The best views are from the southern edge of the lake, accessible from the R196 road—park at the small lay-by near the sign for 'Lough Oughter Viewpoint'. No facilities, so bring water and a map.
💡 The Red Trail is the shortest (1.5 km) and passes the most tombs. Bring good shoes—the limestone is slippery after rain. No parking fee, and dogs are allowed on leads.
💡 Admission is €5 for adults, but the gardens and Peace Garden are free to wander. Check their website for free family days, which happen about four times a year.
