The best restaurants in Derrygonnelly Fermanagh Western NI

Amazing place . Just to take time and relax.

Attended Lough Erne Resort on two occasions and the only two it will be. Went for a day spa experience which had a package booked which included day spa and lunch included. Finished at the spa and proceeded to get our lunch at the restaurant, was not welcomed to the restaurant, had to stand for a while looking around while waiters/waitresses ignored our presence. Told the staff at the restaurant we had a lunch included in the spa package and the female waitress shut us down and stated that it wasn't included and was only a discount at the restaurant which was completely misleading as we booked it specifically to be included into the package price. When challenged about it the waitress was downright rude, immature and unprofessional - walked off and called a manager who then explained we were only allowed food worth no more than £10 per person. Then after the disagreement we were not took to our seats, left standing in the middle of restaurant and we had to ask can we be seated. All round poor service On the second visit to the hotel we had a voucher which was bought for us including 3 course meal in Catalina restaurant for 4 people We sat down, had our meal which was nice. Then asked for the bill and presented our voucher, to be then told that the voucher which was already paid for, for the price of 3 course meal for 4, was not enough and that extra money had to be paid. We were told the price of the voucher had decreased and to clarify, the time had not run out as we had used it within 12 months. The waiter told us we had to pay a service charge of £16 despite already using the voucher to be paid. Then suddenly he took the bill back to the manager and came back explaining there was an additional £30 on top of the £16 to be paid, adding to the voucher. The waiter could not explain what the additional £46 was, except from the service charge and we felt so uncomfortable and pressured into paying the "10% gratitude onto the bill" which is completely exploitative of already having paid for the meal through a voucher. Will not be back to this hotel, some downright rude, arrogant, unpleasant staff in both restaurants and I've never experienced such unprofessional behaviour from a so called 5* Hotel For anyone thinking of buying a voucher for someone, please ask does the voucher devalue overtime and will there be extra charges on your bill at the end of using it. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Afternoon tea was delicious. Tom is a great waiter invaluable to the hotel. Lovely atmosphere

Visited lough Erne last weekend with my partner - room 125 under Devlin. I have always wanted to stay here as I often enjoy the historical sites in Enniskillen like Florencecourt. We stayed on sat night - checked in around 3.30pm so not to late - No door-man at all....so had to drag out our suitcases and no doorman even at the time of check-in so we had to carry our own suitcase to room. Any 5 star hotel who doesn't have a door-man is seriously lacking attention to detail. We checked in - and room was overall very nice. We had lough view room. The room was very warm considering I did turn off the heating but was still very warm and bathroom - for me thats fine as I like it warm - mid 20'sc but for anyone else this wouldn't be ok. We did a nice walk around the hotel estate and after went to the lounge area for drinks - Major issues here - 1. all young staff 19 year olds - anywhere that has largely such young staff in 5 star is always red flags for me as they obviously don't know or understand 5 star customer service. For example she brought us cheese board - no napkins or knife..saying that there was also 4 crackers so my partner had to go looking for her. The lounge area felt like being in a mums house - rather than a relaxing hotel lounge. The bar and lounge are next door so overall this area feels very small to stay in. After that I wanted to dine in the formal dining restaurant - I booked the grill but after seeing the 3 star reviews on it I didn't wish to dine there - I also see they changed the menu for the formal restaurant which suited me much better being pisctarian - HOWEVER when I looked at this restaurant before staying the menu was completely different. They told me they are fully booked - so I went to the grill room. The grill room NEEDS FULLY CLOSED ASAP. I would not allow another 1 person to go there if I was management. Food is so bad they can't even get a standard vegan burger right. Bill was around £130 for the worst steak my partner ever had and the worst burger I have ever had. We then went to the bar as they said music started at 9pm. The guy singing was good however he finished at 9.55pm....so we were left with zero entertainment on a Saturday night. Again the service in bar was all 19 year olds..I asked for grapefruit in gin - didn't bring it..then said she would get some and there is none. So I said thats ok I don't want drink..within 5 mins she found grapefruit. I wasn't being fussy but I drink gin with the correct garnish. Sunday morning - I had breakfast in the room as I couldn't be bothered with the 19 year old staff forgetting items. The food was better than dinner and overall we were happy with breakfast in room. When we checked out I seen there was 19£ charged for breakfast - I knew there was 10£ tray charge which was fine and clearly on their menu - however they charged 9£ for 2 cappucino's - I said to receptionist it did not state this on the menu - but she kept saying '' its normal in 5 star hotel for this ,filter coffee has no extra charge '' lol I only go to 5 star hotels so I can tell you this is first time I have been charged extra for the type of coffee I have. I couldn't be bothered arguing with her over 9£ - so we just paid. I want management to REFUND my partner and to correct their menu in room if this is the approach this wish to do. I do not mind being charged for something if its clear price but I wouldn't be charged for an item that does not state so on the menu - a coffee is a basic at breakfast. Overall if your a golfer and staying here just for golf im sure its fine 1-2 nights. For couples its terrible.
