Host profile image
The Canal House & Canal Cottage have been situated at the edge of Lough Allen since before the 1900s. Unfortunately, they remained derelict for several years prior to our renovation efforts.

Having now restored the properties to their former glory, with a modern touch, they are once again able to stand proudly at the mouth of the Lough.

Why they chose this property

We love to see visitors from around the world calling this house 'Home' even if only for a few nights. We hope you and your extended family have a wonderful time visiting Drumshanbo.

What makes this property unique

Imagine a charming, modern cottage right at the water's edge, with a convenient mooring just outside your front door. Enjoy easy access to a lovely woodland walk that takes you to the renowned Drumshanbo Boardwalk. It's a perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty, inviting you to relax and explore.
