Belle Isle Castle
Belle Isle is 470-acre estate spread over eight picturesque islands. A building has stood on the site since the 12th century and the present building dates back to the 17th century. Past owners have included the Earl of Ross and more recently the Duke of Abercorn. Recently it was purchased by a local businessman who has refurbished the castle to a very high standard. It is in a charming and idyllic spot which feels miles from anywhere, yet it is just a few miles from Enniskillen.
The castle can accommodate up to 26 guests, divided between two wings. All the rooms are splendidly decorated and furnished and offer sublime views of the estate. Entering via a double vaulted entrance hall sets the scene for the other public rooms, all of which are beautifully furnished. An outside terrace with delightful views is a splendid place to relax and enjoy a pre-dinner drink. The dining room with its Minstrel Gallery and the Morning Room with its floor to ceiling windows offer amazing views of the estate. Unlike Crom Castle, Belle Isle is not a private home but has been designed for all the comforts you could possibly need.
