Belle Isle castle estate is such an idyllic tranquil place to stay. My accommodation was the one bedroom ‘Ash’ self-catering cottage. Has everything you need for a stayover. The wood burning stove in the lounge area adds to the overall ambiance. Highly recommended.

Our family of 15 adults and 2 children stayed for 2 nights to celebrate mums 80th birthday and we all had an amazing time. The cottages were very clean and spacious and had everything we needed during our stay. The Castle and grounds are beautiful. Emma was great and answered any queries before arriving and during our stay. We would highly recommend it.

We stayed in Coach House 1 for a few days during a cold spell in January with our dogs Kara & Bonnie.The staff are friendly and very welcoming and the accommodation is beautiful, lovely period properties with beautiful homely features.Even though the temperature outside was below freezing we were kept warm by the central heating and log burner with a daily supply of logs. Couldn't fault anything about our stay, Belle Isle is a stunning venue.

We stayed in Cathcart in January for a week. It was extremely cold but the house was very warm and there was lots of logs for the fire. The house was very clean and bedrooms very comfortable. The wicker sofa and chairs are not very cosy / comfortable particularly in the Winter months as we were sitting in every evening.I requested extra bed linen for an unexpected guest and house keeping called promptly with it and enquired if we needed anything else.When we arrived on Saturday ( reception was closed) the information booklet was quite out of date and stated we had no wifi, only near the castle. I queried it on Monday am at reception and a staff member promptly called and it had just been switched off in error. The booklet also stated the logs were in a bunker beside reception but they were in a shed at the back of the house.Overall we had a lovely week, our dogs loved the place, the scenery is spectacular and the staff addressed our queries very promptly.Only suggestion is to update the information booklet regarding the wifi and the logs.

My friend and I and my little dog spent three midweek nights in January at Belle Isle cottages. We were delighted with the cottage and its facilities, decor and cleanliness. The weather was inclement to say the least but, suitably clad, we went for lovely walks on the estate and day trips to Belleek, Crom castle and Enniskillen. We came prepared with cooked casserole and all groceries so no need for restaurants, which can’t be found in the vicinity. The log stove was wonderful and wine can be purchased at reception! Staff are exceptionally welcoming, efficient and facilitated any requests we had e.g more firelighters!This is a real find and we will be back!

Belle Isle is one of the most authentic and stunning Castle wedding venues across the whole of Ulster. As if the cosy castle wasn't impressive enough, it's set on a gorgeous estate, surrounded by the gorgeous Fermanagh countryside. As photographers, we are spoilt for choice both inside and outside this great venue.

We had a wonderful time at Belle Isle over Christmas. Our courtyard apartment was cosy, comfortable and warm with everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The walks and grounds were very scenic and great for walking the dog. We had a very relaxing time and will defnitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay in a wing of the castle over the Haloween weekend. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming at every step. The castle was gorgeous and spacious enough for our big family gathering. Think old world charm with all the modern luxuries! The surrounding area is beautiful, but due the weather we spent most of our time cosied up in front of one of the two fireplaces.

Thank you to all the team at Belle Isle who made our stay wonderful in Bridge cottage. Clean, warm and with views to die for. Lovey walks around the estate and absolute peace and quiet. I can’t believe we’ve left it almost 8 yrs since our last visit.

We went to a 4 bedroomed courtyard cottage in Belle Isle last week. John Cherry and Emma were so kind and helpful on every aspect of our stay. The cottage was terrific with endless fuel for the fire, plenty of central heating and hot water, comfy beds and a terrific atmosphere. Reasonably priced and they even allowed me to charge my EV at the reception area overnight. I could not recommend this heavenly place more highly. So much to see and do around and Reg our terrier also loved his stay

We had a lovely 2 night stay - myself, my 3 year old son, my mother and our 1 year old cockapoo !We had a brilliant time, the location and grounds are beautiful. Gardens so well kept.Lots of areas to walk, explore, play and exercise doggie.Belle Isle was quiet and peaceful which suited us well for the trip ! If anything our energetic pup and chatty 3 year old may have disturbed the peace at times. Everyone was friendly, kind and helpful.The only downfall is the lack of the bistro. Somewhere to grab a coffee and bite to eat would have made the trip without fault.The house was clean, tidy and spacious. Kitchen well stocked with all the equipment you would need. My suggestions to improve would be additional 'basics' like a tea/coffee tray for after the journey down and before you get to the shops. Other than that it was exactly as expected for self catering.Such a peaceful setting for the evenings and we didn't spend much time in the living room as we were tired after spending the days out and about. If I was returning for a cosy autumn/winter stay I would love to see more comfortable seating for an evening by the fire.Thank you to Belle Isle.

We had our wedding over the course of a weekend at belle isle estate. The estate is beautiful and the house and the cottage accommodation are perfect and very clean. Cherry, who is the manager is so helpful and extremely easy to work with. Would highly recommend for a special occasion or just a trip away!

We hired the castle and one of the courtyard cottages for our wedding and an anniversary party. Couldn’t recommend it more highly, everyone had an absolutely amazing time. Emma was fantastic, from the planning stage through to helping on the big day. The recommended suppliers couldn’t have been better either which makes a world of difference. The whole thing was stress free and the activities were thoroughly enjoyed by all, with ages ranging from 1-80. Will definitely be back and will be recommending to friends looking for a place to hold an event somewhere special.
