Lough Erne Resort

Having dived in for a quick bite to eat at the grill house I am thoroughly impressed! Very nice staff, amazing food and a very warm vibe. Jenny served with a smile and had excellent knowledge of both the place and the menu. Despite the number of dishes and drinks leaving the kitchen and bar, the dining area felt calm and relaxed, very nicely managed! 10/10 would go again.

Stayed in Lough Erne, for two nights and really enjoyed our time there. The hotel is nice and comfortable , the room was a good size and well appointed. I must say that we enjoyed an exceptionally meal in the restaurant, and I don't say that lightly! (If only we lived nearer) Everyone of the staff were came into contact with, could not have been more helpful and friendly throughout our stay. We did stay there about 12 years ago, and has only got better, and I hope to go there again !

As we slowly come back down to earth after enjoying the most wonderful wedding day and weekend with yourselves, we just wanted to say THANK YOU. To Niamh, for all your help in the lead up to the big day, in being so accommodating in our up to the wire changes, and for the check in on the big day itself. To Kelly, for being the epitome of calmness and professionalism, for helping us immediately feel relaxed when arriving to the Ross Suite to set up, and for all the efforts on the day, ensuring everything was seamless, and for the lovely surprise of relocating our decor up to to the Members loft for day 2, which made the evening feel extra special. To Katie, for the friendliest smile in the holding room before going down the aisle, and for looking after us all at the top table. Many of our guests commented on how lovely it was to see so many young Fermanagh people in roles throughout the Resort, exuding friendliness, professionalism and 5* hospitality. To Neville his team for all their efforts from the moment we pulled up to the Resort, to the moment we left, and to everybody else, from the reception team, housekeeping and Blainey bar, we were made feel so welcome. Many of our guests commented it was one of their best hotel experiences, we are sure in no small part, due to the small, personalised touches that were reflected throughout the weekend by everyone we came across. Sadly we didn’t get to enjoy the resorts full offerings due to the weekend slipping away from us faster than we wanted, so are very much looking forward to coming back to for our next adventure. With much appreciation, and best wishes, R & L 25.10.25

16 of us stayed and played over the weekend of 19-21st September. This is our 2nd time coming here in 5years and hopefully we will get it booked again for next year as the place is superb. We had 4 persons each sharing the chalets behind the hotel which are excellent. There was a main living area/kitchen on the ground floor along with a bedroom of to the side which slept 2 plus a bathroom and upstairs there was a bedroom with a bathroom beside it. The good thing about the layout is that you can close the door to the bedrooms and the only way to enter was with the room card that was designated to the persons staying in that room.

Had a fabulous short golf break here. Faldo course was terrific. Outstanding service from all the staff who without exception were welcoming, pleasant and helpful. Evening meal & breakfast could not have been better.

If you are looking for a truly 5 star treat for a special occasion or celebration or just to spoil yourself , staying at the Lough Erne Resort was an absolute dream! The setting is just breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning views of the lough and surrounding countryside and only a few miles away from Enniskillen which itself leads to an amazing town to explore. . We were so impressed by the staff – every single person we met was friendly, welcoming, and couldn't do enough for us. Our suite was incredibly comfortable and spacious, a true home away from home, with a comfortable king-size bed and a huge bathroom featuring both a shower and a bath. Although the room was a little warm, a fan was provided, which was a thoughtful touch. The free minibar was a fantastic bonus, and we loved having two TVs, so no fighting over the remote! The five-course meal at the restaurant was a highlight; each dish was a work of art and tasted incredible. We also made great use of the complimentary swimming pool. We'll definitely be back!

No doubt a lovely setting , hence I guess the location is a bit out of the way and poorly serviced. Rooms and staff were nice. Out breakfast was buffet, and which for a 5 star I felt was poor form, it tasted like buffet too so bacon and pudding were off the menu. Bar is a bit sterile. That said I could return.. Enniskillen is a nice town, oh and the pool area w as a disappointment.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue than Lough Erne Resort. From the moment we booked in July 2023 to our wedding day in June 2025, the service was absolutely flawless. The attention to detail was second to none. Our wedding planner, Niamh, was amazing from day one always so friendly, patient, and helpful with every question we had in the two years leading up to the big day. On the day itself, our wedding coordinator, Kelly, was simply fantastic. She had every detail down perfectly — even making sure my dress was sitting just right for our photos. Throughout the evening, so many guests commented on how wonderful she was. All of the staff were equally brilliant. Katie, in particular, took incredible care of both myself and the groom on the day, making sure we had everything we needed and more. This truly is 5-star service from a 5-star hotel. Everything about Lough Erne Resort was amazing, and we will cherish the memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!

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.
