Lough Erne Resort

My husband and I have just returned from 2 nights at this super hotel ||The service is really excellent. So attentive, polite and professional. Including reception, waiting staff and the doorman.||Beautiful room which was very clean and the bed was even turned down at night and chocolates put on the pillows.|Coffee machine, biscuits etc all included. Ensuite was very good too.||Loved the pool and hot tub. An added suggested extra would be to have a hot tub or two installed outside as well.||The golf course was spectacular. We don't play golf but went on a very enjoyable long walk around the circumference.||Highlight however must have been the amazing dinner. Top class cooking and service of a 5 course meal including small glasses of dinner wines. It reminded me of taster menus I've had elsewhere and every bit as great cooking.||The setting is really lovely. We enjoyed the all day sun and sunsets. Mind you it must have been the hottest weekend of the year.||But very well done to all. We will definitely try to come back.

No complaints about this stay. Staff were excellent, food in the Catalina was excellent. Service was excellent. Hotel is in a tranquil part of Northern Ireland with many local amenities and attractions. Worthy of its 5 star status. Parking not an issue.

We had a one night stay and must say the staff were very friendly. Special shout out to Amanda overseeing breakfast. She was a legend. Room was a little tired with chips here and there including the toilet seat 🤨. But the shower had great power and cleanliness was good. The location speaks for itself in terms of views and there are plenty of ground maintained keeping it in excellent condition

Just a one night stay but it was fantastic. Not a golfer but after a 5k run around the golf course it made me want to take up ⛳️! Course looks amazing. Library room in hotel fantastic for a little quiet read. And lovely pool for relaxing.

We booked a 4 Nights stay. Arrived very late due to a delayed flight to Dublin, challenges at the car rental Company and a couple of hours drive from the airport.||The staff was very friendly and helpful on our late arrival (after 2 a.m.).|Our room ((213) was large, beautiful, quiet. 3 Windows overlooking the parking spare, but also hills.|At the breakfast buffet the staff was very friendly.|A lot of different things to choose from - scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, fried tomatoes, cereals, yoghurt etc. Too, you could order pan cakes, omelets, salmon etc without extra costs.||In the evening you can choose between the fine dining or the ar menu (we chose the bar). It’s possible to sit on the patio or inside.|Again a lot of things to choose from in the menu.|There is a Thai Spa and pool at the hotel (we didn’t try these).|The area around the hotel is a Golf course, very Well maintained.|Only a few Miles away from Enniskillen town.

We stayed at Lough Erne resort for 1 night for my Birthday as part of a wider road trip across Ireland. This hotel was by far the best of the trip and the team went above and beyond to make the stay memorable. The hotel and grounds are exceptionally well presented and on arrival we were able to park close to the entrances to both the spa area and the hotel. At the front door we were greeted by a welcoming and professional doorman who took care of our luggage whilst we checked in. Check in was fast and efficient with friendly and welcoming staff. Following check in we were offered a tour of the facilities, which we accepted. This included the library, bar, restaurant, terrace and spa. We were able to ask questions about the history of the hotel and these were answered in detail and we were also able to hear more about the G8 Summit held at the hotel and some anecdotes about the leaders who attended which was fascinating! The room was outstanding with excellent facilities, a very comfortable bed, superb shower and bath and twin sinks. I was left a lovely box of chocolates and a note from the hotel team for my birthday which was a very pleasant surprise! We had the 5 course meal in the hotel's Catalina Restaurant for dinner in the evening and this was amongst the top 5 meals I have eaten in hotels! The food was cooked to perfection using fresh local produce. The staff in the restaurant were first class, offering narrative around the choices available and excellent service throughout, again the team went above and beyond with the addition of some after dinner chocolates with a birthday message. We had breakfast in the morning which was similarly fantastic. I was able to customise my breakfast order to my tastes and the food / service was excellent! The spa facilities were excellent, with lovely views from the pool and beautiful décor inside I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, I will be talking about this experience for years to come and am very grateful to the whole team for making the stay so enjoyable!

I stayed one night for a wedding. The weather was great however the room did not have air con only a Dyson fan. When we went to bed that night it was 32 degrees in our room. We had a room thermometer for our 2 year old . We got little or no sleep and it was just a terrible night. The hotel itself is amazing and the grounds are beautiful. I am not sure why the rooms do not have air con, it would have made my stay much better.

This area is fantastic - great views. Didn’t stay in the hotel but can report that the service in the bar/restaurant is terrible. Not sure this was due to a wedding being hosted but servers were wandering around with Drinks/meals not knowing which table to go to. Long wait times for drinks etc and Management (babysitters?) didn’t seem too fussed on receiving feedback. 5* Scenery, 5* building but they need more competent waiters - obviously this is not enough to not return, just doesn’t tie in with other aspects of the property

When we were in the planning stages of a trip to Ireland, I pulled out a cookbook from one of my favorite Irish Chefs, Noel McMeel and learned he is the Executive Chef of this resort. When I found out he would be at the resort the week we were visiting Ireland, we actually changed around our entire Ireland itinerary to dedicate two days to staying at the resort and exploring this breathtaking Central and Northern part of Ireland...with the hopes of meeting the Chef and tasting some goodies prepared by the Chef who wrote one of my favorite and most used cookbooks, "Irish Pantry" http://fermanaghherald.com/2013/12/irish-pantry-noel-mcmeels-new-cookbook/ A trip to this resort was a great decision, this part of Northern Ireland is beautiful and a great change of pace from the busy bustle of Dublin streets. As pictured on the website, the hotel looks like a mix of an old and new castle, but the main building is only 11 years old. The property is built on lake lands, old castle grounds, and complete with a beautiful Nick Faldo golf course. This hotel was also host of the 2013 G8 summit. When initially arriving to the property the actual structure of the hotel was modern, somewhat disappointing compared to what I imagined but the breathtaking views of the lakes and lush greenery on the property are picturesque and stunning. The landscaping is immaculate. The rooms here are spacious and well appointed the décor in our room was a bit dated although still nice. Service was courteous and friendly. Our room had views of the lake, just stunning. Sadly, we did not have time to use the property as much as we hoped, the spa and the golf course will have to wait for next time. We did get to take a golf buggy ride around the golf course, recommended by the Chef and given by Frank the concierge. The buggy (golf cart) ride was a highlight to see the complete golf course, lakeside and foliage which is breatakingly beautiful. A visit to the fine dining Catalina restaurant was not to be missed and was a rewarding meal which we will not soon forget, definitely one of our favorite meals while in Ireland. Breakfast: The all important Irish breakfast was complete here, obviously more upscale, hot and cold buffet and order off of the menu all included in the breakfast package, coffee was outstanding, the spread was quiet nice with meats, cheeses, smoked fish, oatmeal...my favorites were the scrambled eggs, porridge, large cooked mushrooms and breads and jams. Notes: Check with the concierge regarding when the boats rides times and dates because they are only biweekly, we missed them as I assumed they were daily. Get proper directions before heading to the property, GPS kept leading us down private roads, and it did not help that we were driving at night. While in the area, there is lots to see and do. We love nature, so upon the recommendation of the Chef, we visited the Belleek pottery factory tour which was very interesting and worth a stop (the vouchers provided by the front desk got us in for free and also included a snack and drink in the cafe), Carrickreagh forest walk 2km up the road...we were the only people on the trail, so serene, and Tullen Strand Bundoran, with breathtaking views of land and sea, a popular surfing spot. I was so happy to take walks in nature and enjoy the pure beauty of this area without a bunch of tourists crowding around. By far these small day trip stops in nature were among my favorites during our entire visit to Ireland. Thank you Lough Erne, and Chef McMeel for a lovely visit, we hope to return.

Beautiful setting. Stern and severe exterior of the main building is grim. Inside elegant if somewhat anonymous. We went to the bar for dinner as the Catalina was fully booked. We were staying in the Court apartments on the property (less than wonderful). Started the evening on their terrace and the lake view was serene. Staff sporadically attentive, but friendly. Moved in for dinner to the bar, filled with seriously drunk guests at a wedding. Food: Fantastic fish chowder, gourmet standard. Guinness bread amazing. Strong start. Second course: Hamburger was really a meatloaf, came after a 45 minute wait more than well done, Tasty but dry. I had to walk up to the wait-staff to ask nicely where were our dinners. Not what one would expect in a luxury hotel. PRICES WERE REASONABLE.

We checked into a lovely 2 bedroom lodge at the resort in the Spring. Check in was prompt and professional. We headed to our lodge and shortly afterward the concierge arrived to check on us and to inquire if we would like a lake view lodge. We were pleased to be offered an upgrade and gladly accepted. We moved to the 2 bedroom lake view lodge, which was very lovely. There is a bedroom/bath on the main with a sitting room and bar area. Upstairs was a second bedroom/bath. Both spaces were very generously sized. We had a spa reservation but our travels that day brought us later than expected to the resort. Unfortunately we missed our spa experience but the spa staff called us to offer us an alternative treatment, date and time. We were pleasantly surprised by this level of attentive service. We enjoyed dinner at The Catalina Restaurant, which was expertly executed by Chef Noel McMeel and his culinary team. We enjoyed one of the most astounding dinners of our lives (Chef Noel's signature pork dish, roast duck, filet, steak frites). Our sons (in their early 20's), who were visiting Ireland for the first time, gushed repeatedly about their dinner at The Catalina. The next morning, our family enjoyed a wonderfully tasty breakfast buffet with a wide array of delicious choices (eggs, breakfast meats, assorted breads, fruit, cured meats and cheeses). Overall, the Lough Erne Resort is a beautiful property located on a gorgeous lake with a championship golf course, fine dining, and cordial, attentive and welcoming service, both in lodging and dining. It's a bit of heaven on earth!

Very nice, but not any better. Old classic furniture and furnishings. Could use some updates imho. Restaurant and service was good. Silly comment, but doors are like moving slabs of marble. Heavy and cumbersome don't be in a hurry. Long way from any shopping.

More than Average but less than Very Good. This is a nice hotel but it's not 5 Star. It's in a beautiful setting - the lake is beautiful and the golf course looks nice. The interior of the hotel is very nice. Staff are relatively friendly - reception staff much more so than bar/waiting staff. Bar food is ok, usual bar food options. Restaurant was fully booked and the menu looked really nice. Rooms were lovely - it was the smaller details though, towels not changed, nothing in the mini bar, etc that just meant it didn't quite reach 5Star level. 5 Star prices though.

I was fortunate enough to spend an afternoon at the Lough Erne Golf Resort late last year. Even with the rain, the beauty of this resort was obvious the moment I set eyes on it and its surroundings. I can only imagine what it must look like in the summer or early autumn. I had lunch at the Blaney Bar, where I tried their order of fish and chips. Now, I can't say i know much about fish and chips, but what I ordered was better than any I had experienced in my entire trip to the UK and Ireland. And the view from the dining room was really quite spectacular, as was the selection of Irish whiskey at the bar. If you're a fan of golf or you're looking for a romantic getaway, and you happen to be in Fermanagh, definitely check out Lough Erne.

Have stayed here a couple of times. Lovely hotel, beautiful setting. Rooms are lovely, courtyard or lake views available. Allhave free standing bath and super large beds. Well decorated and clean. It has only been open 1 year. Bar has stoped doing lunch menu and now just offers same menu all day. Havent eaten in the restaurant but bar food is lovely. Staff are friendly and polite. Spa area is great, pool enjoyable and treatments in the spa are no more expensive than other hotels and very relaxing. Will be back again soon.

Spent an amazing week at Lough Erne Resort. The food, accommodations and staff were truly reflective of what a 5 star resort should be. My wife enjoyed her experiences at the Thai Spa and the Faldo course is one of the best I've played. Also one of the tougher courses I've played but it's a fair test and adds to the beauty of the resort and surroundings in general. Highly recommend from both a golf and resort standpoint - well worth the travel!

Get Place to Stay, I had a Really Good time.
