  Description:

Fortview House is an Irish Tourist Board Approved Guest House located in Cloverhill, Cavan. We can cater for up to 20 visitors at a time and we are particularly geared up for anglers. Our lovely farmhouse is nestled in landscaped gardens surrounded by woodlands, two ancient forts and a tranquil lake-land area. Fortview House has a drying room and a cold room for bait and tackle storage, these are situated next to the private car park. Bait can be ordered in advance and will be waiting for you on arrival and if you need any more fishing equipment, well-stocked tackle shops can be found in nearby Cavan or Belturbet. Boat hire can be arranged.

My name is Catherine Smith. I am the owner of Fortview House, a renowned guest house in Cavan and I have lived their for 30 years. My family consists of two children and my husband. We own a beef farm, cows, horses, dogs and 1 cat. Our farm is open to visits by our guests.

  Fishing information:

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 generally known or publicised, in any event there is a large framed map of all the available water in the area hanging on the dining room wall.
One thing is guaranteed, you will never be stuck for somewhere to fish. Rod licences are not required

FREE use of our boat for guests

The map gives you some idea of the vast network of loughs which form part of the lower Erne system, Lough Oughter is a particularly favoured spot, and forms part of the Killykeen Forest Park. The best swims are to the right of the car park overlooking the famous island castle. Putiaghan Lough near Belturbet holds a good head of tench, and Drumlaney Lough very close to Fortview House has several sets of double platforms, just a short walk from the roadside and is well worth a visit. If you prefer some moving water then the River Annalee at Butlersbridge is only a 5 minute drive away, here you can park on the river bank next to the pub!
