    Ballinamuck is a nice quiet wee spot. Plenty of history around there if you're into that stuff, hence the name of the pub you referred to as the '78. Its actually the '98 as in the battle of Ballinamuck in 1798.
    Arva isn't too bad a spot. I hail from near that neck of the woods. Theres loads of small lakes around the town, espcially if you venture anywhere north of the town.
    If ya like to have the odd pint then Arva is the place for ya. Would ya believe theres 10 pubs there and used to be about 3 or 4 more along with them at one stage! Theres even 2 banks there too.
    I'd say you'd have no bother getting a house or flat there. There was loads of houses built in the boom.
    Its pretty much half way between Cavan town and Longford town aswell.
    If ya need more info about the surrounding area send me a PM. Dont forget theres loads of other small villages and towns in a 5-10 mile radius worth checking out such as Carrigallen (Leitrim), Killeshandra (Cavan), Ballinagh (Cavan), Gowna (Cavan), Aughnacliffe (Longford), Mullinaghta (Longford), Ballinalee (Longford) just to name a few.
