Enchanting location & great accommodation oozing with character. I couldn’t praise the staff enough. Genuinely friendly, welcoming & efficient. My family & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in ‘The Rowan’ & I have no hesitation in recommending Belle Isle 😊

We loved going to Belle Isle Estate. It was a great location for our family to enjoy the beautiful Fermanagh countryside. There is lots to do in the surrounding area and enjoyed our three day (2 night) break. The cottages are cosy and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay.

We had a fantastic one night stay in Belle Isle courtyard apartments. The accommodation is a beautifully renovated farm building/stable which was clean,spacious and cosy especially with the wood burning stove. The location is perfect, tranquil and beautiful countryside. I didn't want to leave! Fantastic walks around the grounds and gorgeous views for miles. It was the first time we took our 2 dogs away with us and this was the perfect place for them. They were exhausted when we left!The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. They gave lots of info about places to visit and eat in the area.

We stayed for 3 nights at No 1 Coach House and loved every minute of our time there. This was our second visit to Belle Isle with our little dog. The house is warm, cozy, impeccably clean and well furnished and has all facilities needed for a get away from it all break. The weather was mixed but the changing light on the many surrounding lakes provided wonderful photo opportunities- great for camera enthusiasts. Lovely walks on the estate and in the general Enniskillen area. Highly recommended!

The most beautiful place to stay. We stayed in the Bridge House with stunning views of the lough. The house was so clean and cozy. It had everything we needed. The staff at reception could not have been nicer and more helpful. Great for families. Our 4 year old loved feeding the donkeys and playing on the climbing frame.

We had a fabulous four nights at Ash Cottage and our 13 year old fur babies enjoyed it even more. The cottage was very well equipped and we look forward to returning in January to make use of the wood burning stove. The staff were excellent particularly Emma who went out of her way to help. we look forward to returning.And we did return in January, 24 and had another excellent four night stay, only this time using the cosy wood burning stove with all the firewood and other essentials provided. The cottage is, as we now know, extremely comfortable whatever the season. As usual the staff were excellent. It was a pleasure to meet up again with Emma and to meet Amy who, I am certain, will be a great addition to the Belle Isle team.

We were there for a wedding. The hospitality was exceptional and the rooms were comfortable. The views of Lough Erne and the pastures from the sitting room were enough to draw us back

My now husband and I got married at the Belle Isle Estate. We live in Chicago, so planning a destination wedding seemed like it would be a stressful endeavor, but the team at Belle Isle made it incredibly stress-free. Calling it our dream wedding would be a major understatement, it exceeded all of our expectations. We rented the estate for a week so that all of our guests could stay with us for the days surrounding the wedding. Cherry was there every step of the way to help me plan and coordinate all of the events and make sure that we all had everything we needed and desired. She provided me with outstanding outside vendors for the wedding (Saddlers for catering, Clare Flowers for florals, Jill Wallace for makeup, Eden Hair for hair) as well as activities we could plan at the estate or nearby (Falconry- The Northern Ireland School of Falconry, horseback riding at The Forest Stables, Marble Arch Cave tour, Devenish Island boat tour, day at Florencourt) and helped me setup an afternoon tea and rehearsal dinner service with Saddlers. Cherry even provided recommendations on where to eat in Enniskillen and provided us with a travel itinerary for our honeymoon. Cherry was incredibly responsive, willing to answer all of my questions and really went above and beyond to make sure every detail was how we wanted it to be. Her communication was stellar and our meetings were always so productive and thorough. You wouldn’t know we were in another time zone or country for that matter! On the day of our wedding we had Emma there to handle every single thing big and small. She was right there when I needed her and somehow there when I didn’t know I needed her.The estate itself is just breathtaking and incredibly comfortable. The bridal suite is absolutely perfect for a “big day” stay and made for gorgeous photos. We loved being able to meet everyone for breakfast in the morning and getting to spend such quality time together throughout the week. It’s a week we’ll never forget with memories we are so grateful we were able to make with our friends and family.A huge thank you to Belle Isle and for everyone who helped make our wedding week spectacular! I hope to go back some day to celebrate an anniversary and show our kids where we were married. I can’t recommend this venue enough and I’ll be forever grateful!-Kiely

Our families and friends met at Belle Isle Castle for 4 days and nights to celebrate our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. The wedding day was wonderful and went very smoothly. We truly appreciated the professional staff who took care of us all so well. The castle felt like home for the 4 very special days we spent together there.

From start to finish, Belle Isle Castle and its staff exceeded our expectations! Planning our wedding from another continent was a breeze! Emma is such a thoughtful and beautiful person, she mad sure everything was perfect for us and our guests throughout our entire stay (4x nights castle and cottages). They are true professionals and it was a magical experience we and our guests will remember forever. The property itself is such a dream, it has so much charm and character. Hopefully we get to visit again one day! Million thanks to Emma and the team!

There is not a place I would recommend more highly than Belle Isle. We stayed there for several nights and had our wedding ceremony/reception in their sunken gardens/great hall. We did the whole thing sight unseen so we had to put a lot of trust in Emma and the staff. They did not disappoint!! The pictures do not do it justice, it's everything one could want for their special day.Emma in particular was an absolute dream to work with. She made everything go smoothly and was an complete joy to be around.My only advice would be to stay as many days as you can!

The most perfect place to get lost and heal!The courtyard we stayed in and the whole estate was beyond well maintained.All you need is you, your pup, a book, pen and paper and a good pair of wellies and you'll have the perfect break.We can't thank the beautiful staff for their kindness, chats, laughs and looking out for our doggo!John, Emma, Bríd, Bronagh, Claire and all the ladies we had the joy of meeting,Thank you from Jane and I.X

As the celebrant of a wedding recently at this stunning venue I found all the staff to be wonderfully helpful and friendly. Cherry was on hand for any request and ensured that the ceremony room (beautiful BTW) was laid out perfectly. Food, provided by Saddlers of Enniskillen under Norman Coalter was excellent and he can be very proud of his staff who made everything seem effortless.The castle is very impressive with luxury accommodation and fabulous views over Lough Erne but not too big to be intimidating.

My wife and I had our wedding here at Belle Isle Castle and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were very helpful in keeping things moving and on schedule the day of. They were also very helpful in assisting us in finding vendors as we had to do this an ocean away. Overall, it'll be a memory for both my wife and I that we will cherish forever, and wish to visit again when we find ourselves in Northern Ireland again!

Beautiful, peaceful and tranquil location set on an island (accessible by bridge) in Lough Erne with a captivating view over the lakes from the South-facing Castle. The bedrooms and bathrooms were luxurious, comfortable and exceptionally spacious. The receptions rooms/drawing rooms were large, opulent and equally spacious. We had a truly remarkable long weekend in the characterful house/castle. The catering was excellent and the staff were friendly, helpful, professional and courteous. For us, it was a perfect location for a family reunion to celebrate a 90th birthday and cost pp was reasonable. My only regret was that it was too short - I would have loved to stay longer!
