Belle Isle Bistro in Fermanagh

A place to switch off and totally relax. We visited Belle Isle in October and were very fortunate weather wise. A car is required as there is nowhere to eat, drink or shop at Belle Isle just glorious peace and quiet. Dog friendly although dogs must be kept on a lead when outside the accommodation. We had a fully and tastefully decorated courtyard apartment complete with log burner. Will definitely return there.

We stayed in ‘Ash’ Courtyard Apartment for six nights and it was so relaxing and peaceful. The apartment was spotless, comfortable and cosy with the log burner lit on chillier nights. It was well equipped and had everything we could possibly need. The estate itself is nothing less than spectacular and it was such a pleasure to walk around the grounds. An added bonus for us was that it was pet friendly as we had our dog with us to enjoy the experience. I just want to thank everyone who works so hard to keep Belle Isle such a fabulous place to stay! We definitely will be back! Kind regards Anita, Gary and Jasper.

Stayed for a wonderful weekend in the self catering cottages. Unfortunately it seems to have went down hill since we first stayed in the cottages a year or two back. There were about 2-dozen flies in the cottage on the first night. They where in the main bedroom and bathroom. Also the level of cleaning seemed to have went downhill. There was dust under the coffee table in the living room. Dust in the corner round the plug sockets and other places.

Belle isle is a beautiful part of Northern Ireland. The cottage was amazing it was very clean. Had very comfortable beds and had everything needed for a perfect stay.

Idyllic spot. Made very welcome. Had everything we needed. Lovely to be able to wander around the estate. Grear for those looking for peace and quiet. Very pooch friendly.

Blown away from we entered the cottage. Fabulous location, tranquil... cottage very well equipped. spotless throughout Most definitely will return.

Great place to stay, apartments have everything you need and want. A beautifully quiet nights sleep. Lovely views. Fab sunset. The grass in the walled garden was a joy for bare feet. Enjoyed the donkeys and the cows. My retriever not so much 😂. He’s scared of cows. Although pets are welcome they must be on their leads when out walking, which I didn’t pick up on when reading other reviews before I booked, so be advised. I had planned to just chill but the walks around the accommodation itself are very limited so we headed out instead. Glad we did. Crom Estate was divine, and my pup got to run wild and free at Big Dog Forest. The view from Little Dog was to die for. Great place for kids, not so much big dogs.

Two days celebrating my sister's wedding felt like a week as we settled into "our " castle. The rambling mansion offered plenty of rooms for socializing or quiet moments. The bedrooms were large, each decorated in tasteful style in tune with the grandeur of the castle without compromising comfort and modernity. The grounds are expansive, cows and sheep speckle the views of rustic woodlands, fields and lake. It really is the perfect setting for a private event away from distractions.

We had our wedding at Belle Isle and everything about it blew our guests away -- the castle, the accommodations, the experiences, and the surrounding area. We'd highly recommend Belle Isle for anyone considering a wedding in Northern Ireland.

From the booking process to check outt. I was overwhelmed by how accomadating the staff were throughout the whole process and stay. Pleasant place to stay with all local activities near by. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place for a short break. Beautiful surroundings, lovely accommodation and fantastic service. Would highly recommend.

We had a such great time at Belle Isle. We hosted a murder mystery with Play Dead NI and Clay Pigeon Shooting with Hunterwest Activity Center. I'd highly recommend them both!! We also visited Enniskillen for dinner, drinks, and music one evening. Emma was so kind and knowledgeable. She was so helpful with planning before our stay and while we were at Belle Isle. The team at Horesheoe and Saddlers was also incredible. We had such wonderful service by Ann and the team. Definitely do the high tea!!

Words cannot even describe the incredible experience we had planning our wedding at Belle Isle Estate. Through the incredible distance between Colorado and Northern Ireland we always felt in complete control and on schedule with all things wedding related. The staff was absolutely amazing in making us feel prioritized and keeping us organized throughout the entire process. They walked us through the ENTIRE castle multiple times to truly make us feel connected to the venue, they always made time for us to check in whenever we requested (regardless of how far out our big day was) and took all of our details and ideas to heart. They truly made our wildest dreams come true. Planning a wedding is no easy task, especially when you are in a different country, but Belle Isle made it seem completely ordinary. They took extra measures and crafted a three day experience to make it uniquely ours, sharing suggestions when we were in need of ideas and adapting itineraries to meet all of our wishes. It was truly such a seamless process, and made so much stress and anxiety simply melt away with each call. Us and our guests felt completely at home when arriving at the estate. The rooms were something out of a dream, and all of our guests felt like actual royalty. Everyone had their own space which allowed for the best experience for everyone who had traveled so far. We utilized every space of the castle and planned different activities accordingly. The staff was so flexible and adjusted timelines as needed to ensure the perfect weekend was underway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time within the charming castle walls dancing, having family dinners, playing games and preparing for our big day - but the surrounding estate was such an added bonus. We took the time to go on group walks, watch the sheep graze, partake in some water activities such as fishing, boating and kayaking, and felt so lucky to have a moment of peace and disconnect from our normal daily lives. It is truly something out of a fairytale. We knew our wedding day would be magical in any setting, but this truly exceeded all of our expectations. The venue was clean, beautiful, comforting and an experience in itself. The staff was so incredibly attentive and charming throughout our 11 months working together. The vendor list provided is extensive, we felt no matter the decision we made it would be a perfect choice. Again, they would provide suggestions as needed to ensure we were making the right decisions. We would like to give a major shoutout to Amy who made this experience what it was. She went above and beyond for us and truly became a close friend. Leaving her was one of the hardest moments of the entire trip! She was not just our point of contact for the wedding, but she connected with all vendors and outside parties to truly let us be hands off once we boarded our plane to Dublin. She was there for every moment we needed her to be, and we are forever grateful. We truly want to thank everyone who played a part in hosting us and allowing us to have the most special day. We are already planning our trip back!

A beautiful place in which to relax and wind down. Perfect.

Amazing few days, we were a family group celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary, we enjoyed the easy going walks, swims off the jetty, we had nice bbq in the courtyard at picnic tables in the sunshine and the kids in our group had great fun with their cousins and in the small playground.

Our Clan gathered from all parts of the world for a family reunion and I honestly can’t thank Belle Isle Estate enough for the wonderful time we experienced. We hired the Belle Isle Bistro for the weekend and a local caterer (Saddlers) provided excellent food and service over the celebrations. Accommodation on the Estate was great. A perfect venue for this type of event. Thank you to John, Amy and Lana for looking after us so well. Slowey Family

First time to visit, thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. very relaxing would highly recommend Belle Isle and the surrounding area , plenty of historic buildings in the vicinity.

We were blessed to attend a family wedding weekend here. It couldn’t have been more wonderful!

BelleIsle is the perfect little getaway. We enjoyed our 2 days staying in Ash Cottage. The walks around the estate are lovely. Everything you need is there. Aimee greeted us on Sunday with a smile and a welcome. So peaceful and we are already looking at booking our return. Thank you BelleIsle.

Recently traveled from the US to have our wedding at Belle Isle Estate- first time seeing the venue in person was the wedding weekend. The castle and grounds are absolutely stunning. So peaceful and original. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about their experience and had the best time exploring the castle/cottages and walking paths. Amy and John made our experience and wedding weekend perfect. Amy was our wedding coordinator- she was very easy to work with, responsive (especially during the planning phase), and quick to help with anything/everything. It was a weekend we will never forget and look forward to coming back and visiting!

The Fridge in the larger cottages are too small for 6 or 8 guests staying in a cottage and the shower facilities need an upgrade. The facilities externally need a refresh to match the inside of the properties which are of a high standard Staff lovely and location is great

Wow, what a gorgeous place. Bear in mind these are self-catering apartments/houses, and there is nothing around the place at all, no shops, no restaurants, nothing, so make sure you bring supplies with you. We checked in, and the 2 girls in reception were absolutely amazing to deal with (and i mean, they would literally do anything within their power to help you). We were a family of 12 staying there for my father's surprise birthday which went down a treat (the staff let us hide our cars and sent my parent's to the room which we picked). We had two 2 bedroom houses, a 3 bedroom apartment and a 1 bedroom apartment. All were absolutely beautiful, inside and out. I can't speak more highly of the rooms. We were able to light the fire (firewood and Firestarter blocks provided), and it left a lovely smell in the houses. A small park out the back was just swings and a slide, but the kids were happy. Un the park was a firepit. This was our happy place. We sat around the firepit with an unlimited amount of wood (already provided) and really enjoyed our time as a family together. There were also barbecues provided and charcoal to light them were also included, so we went into enniskillen, bought a few burgers, sausages etc and had a great night. Would love to go back, and highly recommend the area and this accommodation to anyone looking a quiet weekend away, or to be used as a base to do other things while there. Cavan is not far at all, marble arch caves are close by, and we also hired boats, and went for a cruise. What a brilliant time and thanks to belle isle for making our weekend special 😀

I could not recommend Belle Isle enough for your wedding! (Or as an accommodation and getaway) You get the whole castle for the day, what more could you want! Our niece felt like a princess being able to sleep in a castle and truthfully that's how you felt with the treatment you got from the whole team at Belle Isle! Amy is a delight to work with and puts you at ease before and during the day. The catering by Saddlers was delicious and we really couldn't have wanted for more. And being able to have fireworks over the lake was the icing on top of the cake!! Thank you Belle Isle for our perfect day!!

May’24 - Just returned from another stay stay in the Ash cottage and everything was perfect once again including the warm sunny weather! January’23 -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.

The lodges were spotlessly clean and the care taken by the team welcoming us was amazing. Beautiful place

Stunning property, and views to die for.

Great accommodation - very clean, well stocked with everything you need and very friendly and helpful reception staff! Gorgeous walks and a great place to recharge the batteries. Highly recommend!

Thanks for a lovely weekend and all the help you been everyone enjoyed we had 3 families staying

We booked our wedding at Belle Isle for the final weekend in March 2024. Everything was so well taken care of, Emma went out of her way to make sure we were all looked after. She was incredible.

Always the most relaxing stay. Love the location all the property’s are clean and fresh and such nice place to be.

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.

Very peaceful place to stay, lovely grounds for walks, added bonus that you can bring your dog, loved the open fire very cosy, 10/10 easy check in and out . Highly recommended for anyone who loves the outdoors with plenty of places to fish , Enniskillen not to far for eating out and shopping. Look forward to returning thank you

Very good value for high quality accommodation in fabulous location

Had a beautiful stay at Belle Isle. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

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

Really beautiful location for a quiet getaway as a couple with a dog.

Really great service. We had issues with noisy neighbors and were moved without any drama- much appreciated

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

Absolutely loved our stay here! Staff was all around fantastic, accommodations were lovely, and we had a wonderful time. Beautiful views in every direction. **We didn’t ;)** have anything bad to say about this place.

I love Belle Isle I keep returning as it’s a great location and just 15 mins from the centre of Enniskillen. The walled cottage garden is excellent for my dogs.

Amazing place. I shot a video for couple from America. Great place for elopement. "Lyman-sky videographer"

'Simply the best'....Belle Isle never lets us down......we leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. A little gem in the heart of Fermanagh

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!

The walled garden cottage was beautiful cosy and peaceful with wonderful window views Cherry was very helpful and made us very welcome. We will definitely come back again highly recommend it

Just love this place , best place by far we have stayed , ideal for our fishing trips with our boat as there is jetty to Moor up close to accomadation, def a 10 out of 10 as it ticks all the boxes , this is our 3rd time staying here and will for sure be back , A big thank you to belle isle and all the staff , best regards Gary , Jeff, Mel

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

First time staying here and we absolutely loved it. Our cottage was well appointed and we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Would love to come back.

Perfect location for some end-of-season boating. Lovely cottage

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.

Beautiful place to stay very nice staff to take care of all your needs and sheep the donkeys are very nice they liked apples and carrots

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!

Beautiful comfy, cosy cottage in lovely woodland setting. Our only quibble was the lack of basic toiletries.

We stayed at Belle Isle for our wedding in September 2023. Our whole experience was magnificent. The venue itself was just gorgeous, and Emma was the most fantastic event planner. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We enjoyed our stay there immensely.

Incredible!! Amazing wedding venue and the rooms we're beautiful

Beautiful Place, lovely walks around it, very clean. Dog friendly which is a bonus! Can't wait to stay again

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.

The whole family had a ball thank you!

Fantastic location lovely accommodation our only concern was the seating in the lounge was extremely uncomfortable to say the least!

Accommodation was excellent - we had a very comfortable two nights.

Beautiful accommodation in Irish countryside, well worth a few days stay

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.

A beautiful place to go for a quiet relaxing break. Enjoyed many short breaks in Belle Isle and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Absolutely love staying at belle isle I've stayed a few times before and it never disappoints clean warm cosy home with everything you need so relaxing beautiful walks cant wait to my next stay

Lovely, clean, fully equipped cottage with a cozy fireplace set in beautiful surroundings. We had a fantastic few days here. Check in & out couldn't have been smoother (and the nearby pigs were lovely too!)

I DJ here on a regular basis at Weddings and I can easily say it's my all time favourite venue . Beautiful setting and fantastic staff and always a great night . The fishing pretty good too .

Inside appts brilliant, outside not great, front gardens covered in dogs dirt,seems people don't feel the need to clean up after thier animals when on a break,

Great accommodation and very tranquil spot for a relaxing break

Lovely break in a quite a peaceful location. Staff were responsive to our requests and the local area was full of interesting places to visit. The accomodation was top class and very clean. Lovely log burning stove, full kitchen and super shower room. Bring your own toiletries,!

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.

Beautiful place , cottage was great , really clean and comfortable. We only stayed one nite , but we are definitely impressed , told all the family and we all have dogs . We will all be staying again

Beautiful dog friendly cottages in beautiful countryside, the cottages are very spacious, well presented and spotless they have everything you could possibly need for a brilliant stay and so cosy with a big log burner and as we stayed in new year there was a Christmas tree 🙂 have recommended and will stay again. PERFECT

Very happy with Belle Isle. Faultless and definitely recommend to anyone.

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 .

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

Cottage was clean, well equipped and warm. Staff very attentive making sure we had everything we needed.

My wife and I stayed for one night with our dog. Positives : Cottages where nice, warm and clean. Nice log burners with unlimited logs :) Comfy bed and great views for dogs from low level window in bedroom. Lovely surroundings and views of lakes. Castle itself was lovely, could walk around it which was nice. Negatives : the two walking routes we were given where unwalkable, we had to turn back on both of them due to the poor ground conditions, Appreciate the weather was wet but no form of stones or anything on ground just pure gutters. Fridge wasn’t working correctly either, it froze everything we put into it so had frozen milk and sausages for breakfast. No Wi-Fi and the 3G reception was poor. There was no tea bags or sugar supplied in our cottage which we thought would have been a nice tough for people when they arrive, we would have expected a bit more for the £200 per night price. Enjoyed our stay overall, would give it another try in the summer.

Thank you Belle Isle my family and myself had a wonderful weekend 1st class accommodation wonder location would highly recommend and we will be back

Stayed at Cathcart Lodge for a weekend. Top class. Slept really well on comfortable beds. Murphy our golden retriever loved the cottage too. Great views from the front bedroom. Kitchen had everything you needed.

Fantastic accommodation in beautiful and peaceful environment.

Lovely cottage gorgeous location. Only gripe we had was thar there is no actual sign where the cottages are to show you where the walks start. There is a map at reception but it was so unclear unclear we ended up going up farmers Lane way. We eventually found an arrow next morning by accident. It would be really helpful to put an actual sign in the courtyard pointing towards the starting point. There was noone at reception on the Saturday to ask. But when we did locate the walk the forest and the pigs were lovely!

Great weekend staying in the Bridge Cottage. Private, clean, great space and most importantly…….peaceful. 4 people will stay comfortably in the house, it has great views of the waters edge. No Wi-Fi in the cottage which although wasn’t really an issue but add that to not having the best, if any phone reception at times was the only reason it didn’t get the 5th star. Will be back.

Absolutely loved our stay at Bell Isle! Fabulous setting, peaceful location, accommodation was great - cosy, clean, comfortable with all the appliances anyone could need! We will definitely be back 😁

We have been back here twice in 2nonths and love it. The only negative is the noise of the dogs barking at night. We would live here given if a chance 🥰

Great place in beautifull surroundings. cottages were very clean and spacious , kitchen, although a bit dated was well stocked with all you need, beds very comfortable Will definitely be back!

Great trip, accommodation in Coach House was excellent, great base to travel round Enniskillen area, would visit again. Just a pity the Bistro wasn’t open.

It's peaceful and isolated, but so enjoyable, even if you have no wish to travel further or stay in your own space and company.

Entirely wonderful weekend. Well-organised and very welcoming. Thank you, Cherry! Excellent, highly informative speakers providing a wealth of ideas for food to grow/pick but also food for thought, including the global context. Thank you, Klaus and Clothilde! Covid-safe environments much appreciated. Thank you, Tatiana and Nicholas! Lots of space indoors so plenty of room to spread out. Great polytunnel. Marvellous variety of outdoor locations - whether we were in the garden, in woodland, in fields, along hedgerows; Fun tasting of vegetables grown in both garden and polytunnel but also of wild food from trees, hedges and verges. Delicious buffet lunches provided by Tully Mill. Good craic. Nice number of people - easy to get to know everyone. Outstanding chance for genuine, 3-dimensional social networking. Refreshing range of ages proving that growing food is, literally, for everyone. Came away feeling totally enriched by the experience and reinvigorated in my own gardening. Clever timing of the course as, being at the end of September, it gave one inspiration for what one can do immediately in the Autumn garden, but also for planning for the Winter garden and for next year. And maybe the best thing of all was being able to spend the whole of the weekend in one’s wellies!

fantastic place to relax and unwind. great scenery, 3rd time there,, will be back again.

Belle Isle is a special place. My friend and I stayed in one of the cottages for a weekend organic vegetable growing weekend. The cottage we stayed in was beautifully fitted out, some lovely old prints and antique furniture mixed with all mod cons. Everything was perfect.

This is a hidden gem. Lovely quiet place if your looking to relax. Even our dog Lara enjoyed the peace and quiet and loved the attention she received from the receptionist who offered to keep her in the office with her lol. Some nice walks nearby to suit everyone. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Just back from a wonderful weekend on a foraging and gardening course at Belle Isle Estate. Could not recommend it more if another one pops up! Belle Isle is such a magical place to get away, surrounded by all that nature has to offer and cosy cottages to come back to in the evening. I walked away with a bounty of knowledge from our teacher Klaus about how to tend my garden and improve soil quality. And after the foraging class with Clothilde I have already found myself in the local park picking rose hips and other wild edibles...a huge success :-)

What a wonderful trip I had to belle isle estate. It’s a fabulous location close to every amenity you could think of. Following a brief misunderstanding, on arrival, about what catering facilities were going to be available, I settled into a fabulous apartment, with an en-suite room including a bath, that was well appreciated following a hike up nearby stairway to heaven. Tatiana, Nicholas and Cherry are wonderful and beautiful people that excel in every aspect of hospitality. The business they run is an absolute credit to them. I came to Belle Isle to participate in a course of kitchen gardening and forest foraging with Klaus Laitenberger And Clothilde Walenne and neither disappointed. Both having the maximum knowledge of their topics and delivering with ease and at a level that kept everyone entertained no matter what level they were at. I’m looking forward to seeing more events like this being hosted on the estate. Thank you so much to everyone involved Jenny x
