If you are looking for a wedding venue, you can stop looking. This is the right place. We rented the castle and some cottages for a week for our wedding, and it could not have been better! It was literally the perfect week.We first booked the castle, sight unseen, in 2018 for our wedding April 18, 2020. Then three weeks beforehand, the borders closed and everything went into lockdown. I read so many horror stories of people who lost all their deposits, but Belle Isle was so accommodating and understanding about everything. We ended up having to postpone twice before we settled on our final date: April 28, 2022. But when we got to the estate, even though no one wants to postpone their wedding mere weeks before it takes place, it was all worth the hassle and the wait.I don't have enough superlatives to commend the staff here. Cherry, who was our point person and day-of wedding coordinator, is just the best. I can't recommend her enough. She made everything run smoothly for us, and given that we had to plan everything from the United States, that assistance was invaluable. She's so sweet and thoughtful and makes everything much more manageable. I really don't know what we would have done without her. I didn't get to spend as much time working with Emma, but the time I did get to meet her, she was also incredibly sweet and thoughtful - in fact, she made a reel for Instagram and shared it with me since I was too busy on the day to look myself.The site itself is absolutely gorgeous. The photos online really don't do it justice. I'm not sure there is a good way for photos to capture the elegance of the rooms or the natural beauty of the estate. In fact, we are going to be in the UK for another wedding next summer, and my husband and I are planning to come back to Belle Isle afterward for at least a few days because we loved the island and the people so much.Because I live in Los Angeles and my and my husband's families live in Florida, Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Oregon, the UK, and Washington DC, it was going to be a destination wedding for most of the guests no matter what we did. And honestly, at Belle Isle Estate, the value you get for the price you pay is extraordinary. My guests didn't have to pay much more to attend than they'd have had to for coming to a Southern California wedding, and most of the increased amount was in airfare, not accommodations. As for the cost for us, the bride and groom, the venue fee was less than a typical venue in SoCal, and because all the vendors were less expensive as well, we ended up spending significantly less than the average cost of a wedding here in the States.All-in-all, it was the best week of my life, and much of that is thanks to the lovely people, rooms, and landscape at Belle Isle.

It is a beautiful place. The court yard made it easy to socialise, it was reasonably close to the river for swimming and paddle boarding and there was bbq's for us to use.The various apartments were clean, spacious and very pleasant. If I had any suggestions it would have been good to some condiments, olive oil etc. . . in the kitchens.Still a wondrtful place for my whole family to relax, catch up and enjoy ourselves and would recommend here to anyone.

Fabulous stay. CY2 Beech is very spacious & clean. You could fit 6 people (if allowed). Highly recommend for a family with kids, loved the play area being close & loved walking the dog along the trails. I would recommend a map inside the apt. to define the dog walks. A communal seating & BBQ area to enjoy the sunshine all day would make it v sociable.Please reopen the bistro or some form of sit down lunch/ dinner we would have loved to have had that experience.Google maps was best for the boat hire navigation. For off-peak season on the boat there’s not many restaurants along the river open outside of Fri-Sun (even though it was Easter). We found Carrybridge Hotel did good pub grub.I enjoyed meeting the Curly Pigs and learning about their important conservation work - perhaps a member of staff could do a free guided tour, to learn about all the animals.Handy location for Nat. Trust, Mable arch caves and Donegal. We’ll be back to explore. :-)

Rarely do we return somewhere three times- so that says it all! Immaculately clean accommodation and dog friendly too. The staff are so very friendly, well informed and helpful. This is an excellent location to explore the Fermanagh area and the setting is beautiful.

My husband & I have just returned from a three night stay at Belle Isle Castle we had the best time . We stayed in the Oak cottage along with our wee dog Rocco , the accommodation was very well equipped with just about everything you need. We especially loved the log burning stove it was so cosy in the chilly evenings . It is a perfect stay for pets & had lots of great walks around the estate although a bit muddy (bring welly boots ) The location is stunning with beautiful countryside & lovely views & is about 20 minutes drive from Enniskillen town . We will definitely be returning to this fantastic accommodation 👍🏻😁

We had a wonderful 2 night stay in the Abercorn Wing of the Castle at Belle Isle to celebrate a special birthday. There were 8 adults in our family gathering with 3 small children.Everything was perfect - Warm, clean, lots of space and great kitchen facilities. We were able to dine at the large table in the library and relax in the drawing room with beautiful views of Lough Erne from all the rooms.The Abercorn wing was beautifully furnished with every comfort at our disposal including an ample supply of firewood for the large open fires.All five bedrooms had spacious en-suite facilities and the beds were extremely comfortable.We sincerely hope we will be able to make a return visit in the near future.

Lovely hidden place we found on the edge of Enniskillen Co. Fermanagh.Long or short walks. We brought our wellies and needed them to see the pigs.Staff friendly and very efficient.Only disadvantage WiFi poor hubby has a defibrillator fitted and should have WiFi to send messages to hospital. Dog friendly and they enjoyed the walks.Hope to rebook again.

The cottage was very well equipped, fresh, clean and very cosy.Great we could have our dog with us. The walks are very limited and muddy but a good base for exploring the general area. Would definitely go back.

Fabulous spot, stayed in the sycamore apartment , would love to see a WIFI booster or extender as the cell service is bad and the WIFI inside the buildings very poor, especially for guests from overseas that don't have cell service. Staff were awesome

Lovely location , we stayed in #3 the courtyard it was like walking into Dr Who's tardis , so big and spacious, log burner , kitchen and a very spacious lounge area complete with dinner table and chairs Upstairs a great bathroom with a very spacious shower the bedroom was massive with a king size bed 3 windows with blackout blinds . Lovely walks if you bring your pet , we brought our collie Flynn , the walks are mostly on hardcore but the woodland walks were a bit muddy and could do with a bit more signage . All in all lovely staff lovely quiet relaxing location we will definitely return .
