The Arches

On-site activities: The Arches stands out for its guest facilities, including a games room, tennis court, and an on-site crazy golf course—handy for families or anyone who likes to stay active between day trips.

Relaxed outdoor space: A garden area gives you somewhere to unwind after exploring, with a quieter rural setting that feels removed from traffic and town bustle.

Connectivity: Broadband WiFi is available, which is useful if you’re mixing a short break with remote work or want reliable planning and streaming in the evenings.

Good base for lake country: Set near villages such as Arva and Killeshandra, The Arches puts you close to County Cavan’s lakelands—ideal if your stay revolves around fishing, waterside walks, and scenic drives.

Nearby nature and heritage: From this An Cabhan base, it’s straightforward to build days around Killykeen Forest Park, Dún na Rí Forest Park, and local heritage stops like the Killycluggin Stone, then return to a calm, home-style setup.

Rural trade-offs: Because The Arches is outside the main towns, you may find a car helpful for dining out and evening plans.

Not a full-service hotel: As a B&B, facilities are geared toward a comfortable stay rather than extensive on-site dining or resort-style extras.

Pros	Cons
Games room, tennis court, and crazy golf on-site	Rural setting may require driving for meals and nightlife
Strong base for Cavan lakelands, forests, and heritage sights	More B&B-style simplicity than full hotel services
