ACCOMMODATION
Prospect Bay opened for business in 2004. We have a Four Star AA grading and are an Approved Country House with Failte Ireland, the Irish Tourist Board. As with most other Irish bed and breakfast businesses, it is also our family home, but its’ design allows for guests’ privacy should they desire it.

Our aim has always been to provide the best hospitality in Ireland. We have received many kind comments from our guests, and in 2006, as a result of a guests’ nomination, were named as County Winner of the Failte Ireland - Read More...

Because we live in such a beautiful and unspoilt part of the world we try hard to be as eco-friendly as possible; both as individuals and as accommodation providers. During 2006 we were proud to be part of the first group in Ireland to receive the EU Eco Label for accommodation. Visit our Eco Zone for more of the EU Eco label...

Bedrooms
All our bedrooms are en-suite, and enjoy lake or mountain views. One of our bedrooms also has a balcony overlooking the Fountain Garden and Lake. It is very popular, so pre-booking is essential.

In total we can accommodate ten to twelve guests. Our rooms are flexible: we have doubles, twins, and double/singles which can also accommodate a fourth person or cot.

Every room has an individual colour theme, with elm-wood laminate flooring and rugs, and many original and limited edition paintings by local artists line the walls.

Our beds are of very high quality; our duvets cosy and warm, and our pillows are non-allergenic. Every room has extra pillows and blankets should you require them, and room radiators have thermostatic controls for you to adjust.

Each room has remote colour TV and DVD, hairdryer, a hospitality tray with full size kettle and tubs of coffee, tea and sugar – no annoying sachets! We provide fresh milk on request, and each room has its own mini cooler. You’ll also notice a small recycling bin – its part of our environmental policy. We have a leaflet in each room of the many things you are welcome to use or borrow: from an iron or internet access to walking guides and a pair of wellies! A filtered water cooler in the breakfast room is available 24 hours per day.

The en-suite bathrooms feature top quality showers. Eco-friendly soap and shower gel is provided, and we operate an optional towel and laundry policy.

For those who find stairs difficult we have two rooms located on the ground floor close to our disabled access ramp, and we can provide shower seats and toilet frames on request.

Some of our smaller guests may wish to use our travel cot, and several rooms have both a double and single bed for family use.

Public Areas
Our breakfast room and guests lounge faces south and offers lovely views of the lake. French doors lead out onto a paved terrace with patio chairs and tables – an ideal spot to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun go down! Beyond the terrace is our new Fountain Garden, with Koi pool, Gazebo and Deck area - perfect for sun bathing or for reading a few pages of that new paperback you hadn’t yet got started on!

For those guests needing access to Sky Sports or news we have this facility in our Great Room, and Broadband Internet access, phone and fax facilities are also available on request.

We have a notice board in the front hall displaying information about local places of interest, restaurants, taxi numbers, etc.

Up the front staircase is our Library area, and you are welcome to borrow one of our many paperbacks.

 

Planet – Saving Breakfasts!
Breakfast means something different to all of us – fruit, yogurt; a bowl of cereal, croissants or a bagel; perhaps a scrambled egg or a Full Irish – but everyone would agree that natural is best.

We are pleased to offer a wide selection of organic ingredients year round such as fruit, yogurt, butter and sugar, salt, marmalade, cornflakes, coffee and eggs. Other organic items are on offer as they become available – for example our home grown tomatoes during the summer.

We are fortunate in Co. Cavan to have access to a wealth of locally produced foods to offer on our breakfast menu – everything from milk, eggs and bacon to local recipes such as wheaten soda bread and boxty – so we deliberately source these from within our own county.

Our Ethical Food policy also ensures that our eggs are always Free Range, all imported items such as tea, coffee and fruit juice are Fair Trade, and there are no wasteful and annoying sachets or tubs of anything! See our Eco Zone

More and more goods are becoming available as Fair Trade, which is as it should be, but many organic items offered in supermarkets have had to travel hundreds of miles to reach us, creating an unnecessarily large carbon footprint. Locally grown organic produce is still scarce, but we are sure more will become available if we all ask for it. Farmers Markets are becoming more common, and are a good place to find organic produce.
