A MESSAGE FROM OUR HOST SPONSORS
Having the Slieve Russell in our midst means the exceptional facilities for which the hotel, golf resort and spa is renowned can be enjoyed by everyone here in Cavan.
Visitors from across Ireland and around the world travel to Ballyconnell to enjoy its first-class accommodation, PGA National golf course, Ciúin Spa and choice of restaurants, while for locals the resort has become one of the county’s most popular destinations.
Whether it is a wedding, conference, family celebration, Sunday lunch or simply meeting friends for a coffee, the resort has become an important part of life in Cavan.
The appeal of the Slieve Russell is its variety, with visitors able to enjoy golf, dining, the Country Club, spa treatments or simply a stroll through the extensive grounds.
FABULOUS FOOD
If you want to treat Mum, catch up with friends or simply enjoy a relaxed afternoon, the Slieve Russell offers plenty of opportunities to make an occasion of it.
Afternoon tea in the hotel foyer provides an elegant setting to catch up over a selection of sweet and savoury treats, while the resort’s restaurants offer options for everything from a relaxed family meal to a special occasion.
DINNER OFFERING
Sunday lunch at the Conall Cearnach Restaurant remains a traditional favourite, giving families and friends the opportunity to sit down together and enjoy a relaxed Sunday meal.
During the week, the Summit Restaurant, overlooking the golf course, provides a scenic setting for lunch and dinner. The restaurant offers a full lunchtime menu, while evenings feature à la carte dining with views across the course and surrounding countryside.
For something more casual, Kells Bar and the hotel foyer provide welcoming spaces for a drink or light bite.
Whether it is a family get-together, a catch-up with friends, a business lunch or simply an excuse to treat yourself, good food and friendly service are very much part of the Slieve Russell experience.
COUNTRY CLUB
The Slieve Russell Country Club offers local residents another opportunity to enjoy the resort, with membership providing access to a 20m swimming pool, sauna, steam room, massage jets, children’s pool and fully equipped fitness suite.
A variety of classes are also available, allowing members to stay active, try something new or incorporate exercise into their regular routine.
The Country Club is open daily, with early morning opening from Monday to Friday and extended opening at weekends and Bank Holidays.
Looking after yourself does not always have to mean travelling somewhere far away. Sometimes everything you need is right on your doorstep.
CIÚIN SPA AND WELLNESS CENTRE
The Ciúin Spa and Wellness Centre provides a more luxurious approach to relaxation. The Irish word ‘Ciúin’ means ‘quiet’, reflecting the peaceful environment designed to help guests slow down, switch off and recharge.
Whether enjoying a spa day with friends, a break with a partner or simply some time away from the demands of everyday life, guests can choose from a range of treatments and wellness experiences.
The spa also offers specialist treatments for people at different stages of life, including those on a cancer journey and expectant mothers, as well as experiences designed to promote rest and better sleep.
For many, a visit to the spa is about more than simply having a treatment. It is about creating time to pause, relax and recharge.
STAY
With 224 bedrooms, guests can extend their experience with an overnight stay.
A spa break can turn a few hours of relaxation into a proper escape, while the resort also provides an opportunity for couples, friends, sisters, mothers and daughters to spend quality time together without travelling far from home.
PGA GOLF COURSE
For golf lovers, having the PGA National Ireland Slieve Russell on the doorstep is another reason to be proud of Cavan’s tourism offering.
Created by Irish golf architect Patrick Merrigan, the course makes the most of the natural landscape, with the 18-hole championship course and nine-hole PGA National Academy course forming part of the 300-acre Slieve Russell Estate.
The course winds through the lakes and drumlins of the Cavan countryside, providing a challenging layout requiring accuracy and good course management.
For those new to the sport or looking to improve their game, the Raflewski Golf Academy offers opportunities to develop skills, while younger golfers can also be introduced to the game.
CONFERENCE CENTRE
The Slieve Russell also plays an important role in Cavan’s business, professional and community life, hosting everything from smaller meetings to major conferences, banquets and events.
Businesses, community groups and professional organisations can avail of a choice of meeting spaces, accommodation and dining facilities, with experienced staff assisting with event organisation.
Extensive car parking and the resort’s location, approximately 90 minutes from Dublin and accessible from all parts of Ireland, add to its appeal as a meeting venue.
WEDDINGS
For those marking one of life’s biggest occasions, the Slieve Russell remains one of Cavan’s best-known wedding venues.
Set among 300 acres of countryside, the resort offers accommodation, dining, experienced staff and a choice of ballrooms, allowing couples and their guests to celebrate, dine and stay in one location.
For local couples, it provides the opportunity to celebrate close to home while giving guests a memorable experience.
