why Cavan?
In the words of one of our patrons:
"There are many things that one could say about Cavan and why you should visit the Irish midlands, but in a few words I would have to say it is gorgeous, with an outstanding character. It has all that you need plus the peace. I hope to visit many more times."

The History of Cloverhill Gate Lodge
The life of the Gate Lodge was closely linked to the life of the “Big House”. The first part of Cloverhill House was built in 1728. The foundation stone for the second part was laid in 1799 and building was completed in 1803. It was commissioned by Mr James Sanderson who employed the well –known architect Mr Francis Johnston. Mr Johnston was paid £22.15s for his drawings and design.
​
The archway entrance was built in 1840. The Gate Lodge was built in the later1830’s and first appeared in Ordnance Survey Maps of the 1840’s.
The Church which stands nearby was constructed by Miss Mary Jane Sanderson, in memory of her father, James Sanderson. It was constructed in 1860 as a chapel of ease for Annagh parish, and remained a private church until quite recently.
