Hotels in Fermanagh – Lakeside luxury, central charm and quaint cottages

Many of Fermanagh’s finest hotels are nestled along the shoreline or nearby the magnificent Lough Erne and boast spectacular views of this reed-fringed lake.

When it comes to luxury, the star of the show really has to be Lough Erne Resort (5*). The wooded setting on a 600 acre peninsula amidst Lower Lough Erne outside Enniskillen is simply unparalleled, offering views of both the lake and two renowned championship golf courses.

The resort has hosted many world leaders, film stars, business magnates and celebrities, but when you stay here you really feel you’re the only one that matters. Here you can rejuvenate at the luxury Thai Spa or dine in the hotel’s 3 AA Rosette Catalina Restaurant run by the much-lauded chef Noel McMeel. The hotel itself offers 120 rooms and suites, or you can also stay in one of the resort’s 25 self-catering, self-contained and beautifully furnished Loughside Lodges.

There is also the Killyhevlin Lakeside Hotel & Lodges (4*) which boast an indoor pool, outdoor hot tub, gymnasium, a renowned restaurant and spa. The hotel is located close to Cuilcagh Mountain and Fermanagh’s ‘Stairway to Heaven’, a wooden pathway up the flanks of the highest point with commanding views over the lakes below.

For those seeking a little more peace and quiet, the suites and lakeside villas at Finn Lough offer another touch of luxury. Here guests can relax in the secluded setting with the Elements Trail Spa, or enjoy a host of water activities, cycling and restaurant all on-site.

Away from the lakes, the centrally located Enniskillen Hotel (4*) gives a nod to the town’s very own Samuel Beckett with its restaurant and whiskey room while the Manor House Country Hotel (4*) close to Irvinestown is the perfect country retreat combining old world charm with modern hotel luxury.
