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, or just the perfect place to get the whole family together for some quality time – look no further than Belle Isle Estate!

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.

Great accommodation - a bit out of the way although found a restaurant close by as we were leaving! Would be lovely to bring all food and just park up for a few days with friends. BBQ available and grounds magnificent.

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.

We attended Belle Isle Estate as part of a three day wedding. It is a quaint, beautiful property that was the perfect place to celebrate with friends and family. The entire staff were a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that things were just right. Cherry's presence and dedication in particular really helped make the event special.

We stayed in Oak no. 3 which was spacious and airy, very clean and well equipped. It was quiet and we enjoyed walks around the estate. It is a shame that there aren’t more places to eat nearby, most seem to close early in the week. Staff were very good and knowledgeable.

We stayed here with our family for 3 nights. Beautiful, clean well equipped accommodation in a stunning setting. Our little granddaughter loved the climbing frame and visiting the nearby cows and donkeys! We found the staff friendly and helpful. We would recommend this place and hope to return.

We really loved the cottage and it’s situation. Lovely walk up to and around the house.Convenient to Carrybridge pub and restaurant and just 15mins to Enniskillen.Just sorry the Bistro is no longer operating as we used it regularly on previous visits.

13 of us stayed for 5 nights in cottages Sycamore and Rowan and had a great time! Very friendly and efficient staff. Accommodation was bigger and better than expected and very clean and tidy. Kitchen was very well equipped, though as it is self catering, a fridge freezer would've been useful to store our food. The laundry was a good addition. Great wee park and football area for the kids, (which they loved), with seating and a fire pit for the adults. There were a few small maintenance issues which we mentioned to staff, and the wi-fi wasn't great, though I've seen on other reviews that this is to be addressed. An upgrade on the showers would be good too, with maybe more than one in a 3-bed cottage sleeping 6, the main bathroom in Sycamore just had a bath with a mixer shower head which wasn't really up to the job, the one in Rowan was much better. Despite the few minor issues, we had a lovely time and we would thoroughly recommend Belle Isle Castle as a great place for families to stay.

Lovely relaxing place with great accommodation stayed in one of the cottages which was spacious, well equipped and very peaceful, also great that it was dog friendly. Only down side was the bistro wasn’t open so no where on site to get food and they could do with some dog waste bins around the place. But we had a great stay and will be back here again

Beautiful property! Great place to relax, hold an event such as a wedding or family reunion, or explore Ireland! Loved visiting the castle and staying in a huge and comfortable 3-BR courtyard apartment with kitchen and living room. The kids adored the playground, fire pit outside, and visiting the donkeys. Staff is over the top fantastic.

A very peaceful and pleasant stay in Coach House 2. Belle Isle is situated in a fairly remote setting and whilst there are plenty of restaurants/pubs in the area few are close by. A car is therefore essential. The grounds are splendid and well tended (my Springer Spaniel was in seventh heaven), well done to the gardeners. The accommodation is ample, clean and well furnished. A gentle week away - who can object to that?
