Special Occasions at Belle Isle

Special Occasions

Have you got a special occasion coming up? Why not mark the occasion with exclusive hire of a 17th century Irish castle? Belle Isle castle is steeped in history and perched right on the shores of Upper Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh. The perfect venue to create a truly magical experience for everyone to remember!

Cross over the water onto the island and take in spectacular views of rolling countryside until you reach a beautifully tree-lined avenue, which will lead you to your own stunning castle. Step into Belle Isle castle through the majestic Abercorn doors and be met by an enchanting stone entrance hallway, where Lords and Ladies have stepped before you.

With exclusive hire of our luxury castle, you can host an occasion fit for royalty. The spacious grand dining hall in the Hamilton wing is the perfect place to cater for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On those glorious summer days, why not get everyone together and enjoy a BBQ or afternoon tea outdoors in the delightful sunken garden.

Roam the grounds of our beautiful 400 acre estate, exploring woodland walks and nature trails, then retreat to an open fire in your choice of drawing room for the evening. Bathe in freestanding roll-tops (some of which are perfectly situated to enjoy breathtaking views overlooking Lough Erne), before sleeping deeply in one of our four poster beds.

The entire castle sleeps up to 26 people. The 5-Star luxurious Abercorn Wing boasts breathtaking views of Lough Erne, modern kitchen, library, stately drawing room and 5 elegantly decorated upstairs en-suite bedrooms (sleeps 10). The Hamilton Wing consists of a formal grand dining room, 8 uniquely and tastefully decorated upstairs bedrooms (sleeps 16), vast and graceful drawing room, chef’s kitchen complete with AGA stove, and a vaulted ceiling stone hallway. If additional rooms are required, we can offer accommodation in our self-catering courtyard apartments & cottages on the estate.

Guests are welcome to self-cater or even hire their own personal chefs during their stay. Alternatively we will be able to assist with sourcing suitable catering options tailored to your needs, along with any maid or butler services required. We are also on hand to point you in the right direction for some great activities both on the estate and nearby. We have boats, kayaks and paddle boards on the estate available for hire, as well as some enchanting nature walkways to enjoy, knowledgeable fishing guides on hand and lake cruisers can pick guests up to explore Lough Erne and further afield. Nearby, there are a wide variety of activities and tours on offer such as the world renowned Marble Arch Caves, Cuilcagh Boardwalk (aka ‘Stairway to Heaven’), golf courses, Irish distillery tours, Enniskillen Taste Experience, surfing on the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ and many more.

Whether it be for a big Birthday, Hen party, Stag do, Anniversary, Corporate Event or just the perfect place to get the whole family together for some quality time – look no further than Belle Isle Estate!

The lodges and the Walled Garden accommodation were of the highest standard, spotlessly clean and the site itself was very tidy and a very relaxing weekend was had by all. hope the Bistro gets opened again as that would have taken the experience to yet another level. Excellent facility. Thank you

Nice warm Coachhouse. Clean, well equipped although a microwave would have been handy. Only disturbance was the event at the castle that extended into early Sunday morning. Throbbing base from the amplifiers can still reach the coachhouse. Bearable though.Thanks.David and Helen

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 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.

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
