Ireland has always been recognised as one of the most outstanding angling destinations in Europe.

Fortview House is perfectly situated in the middle of Ireland's most famous coarse fishing area where the roach, rudd, bream, hybrids, perch, and tench are most prolific and can be found throughout the whole of the system including the rivers Erne, Annalee and Woodford. The area is ideal for Pike Fishing.

There are over 300 lakes or loughs, as they are known in Ireland, within 10km of Fortview House, almost all of which are free to fish. Killykeen Forest Park is only a 20 minute drive away, as are the fishing centres at Arva, Bawnboy and Cootehill.

There are far too many other local hot spots to be able to list them here, and there are some which are only fished by Fortview House guests and are not genearally known or publicised.

One thing is guaranteed, you will never be stuck for somewhere to fish. Rod Licences are not required for coarse fishing in the Republic of Ireland.

Fortview is a family-run farmhouse where you will enjoy a personal warm welcome with all the comforts of a real Irish home, sitting beside a glowing turf fire.

The 6 ensuite bed and breakfast accomodation combine the comfort of modern living with the peace of country living. The breakfast will delight your taste buds with home baked Irish breads, organic free-range eggs and home reared meats.

Catherine, your host can help you trace your ancestors, and find activities and things to do in Cavan and nearby Monaghan from a game of golf to a gillie for fishing to make your stay memorable in Ireland.
