Make your special occasion truly unforgettable with exclusive hire of the historic Belle Isle Castle, a magnificent 17th-century Irish treasure perched majestically on the shores of Upper Lough Erne, County Fermanagh. Steeped in rich history and surrounded by natural beauty, this extraordinary venue offers the perfect setting for an event that will leave a lasting impression on all who attend. 

Arrive across the water onto your very own private island, where sweeping views of the stunning countryside unfold before you. A tree-lined avenue leads you to the grand entrance of Belle Isle Castle, welcoming you through the stately Abercorn doors into a captivating stone entrance hallway, where Lords and Ladies once walked. It’s an atmosphere of elegance and heritage like no other, setting the tone for a truly magical experience. 

With exclusive access to the entire castle, you have the freedom to host an event beyond imagination and we are here to assist you in any way possible. The Hamilton Wing offers a grand dining hall, ideal for intimate meals or large gatherings. Whether you choose to host a breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the setting is nothing short of spectacular. On warm summer days, why not take advantage of the sunken garden, perfect for a BBQ, afternoon tea, or alfresco cocktails, while you soak in the beautiful surroundings and lake views. 

Stroll the vast 400-acre estate, where you can explore scenic woodland walks and nature trails, before retreating to one of the castle’s many drawing rooms for a relaxing evening by the fire. For ultimate relaxation, take a dip in one of the freestanding roll-top baths, many offering breathtaking views of Lough Erne. At night, rest in one of the castle’s luxurious four-poster beds, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep in your historic surroundings. 

Belle Isle Castle comfortably accommodates up to 26 guests. The 5-Star Abercorn Wing boasts panoramic views of Lough Erne and features a modern kitchen, a cozy library, a grand drawing room, and five elegantly appointed en-suite bedrooms. The Hamilton Wing includes a formal dining room, eight beautifully decorated upstairs bedrooms, a stately drawing room, and a chef’s kitchen with an AGA stove. The dramatic stone hallway with its vaulted ceiling adds to the grandeur. Should you need more space, we offer additional self-catering apartments and cottages throughout the estate.
