BELLE ISLE CASTLE AND COURTYARD COTTAGE

Situated on the northern tip of Upper Lough Erne, Belle Isle is a 435-acre estate spread over eight picturesque islands. Inhabited since the 12th century and bought in 1991 by the Duke of Abercorn for his second son, Lord Nicholas Hamilton, it is now a vibrant working farm with a herd of cattle and in addition offers attractive self-catering accommodation. The modernisation of the Castle, dated from 1680, was completed in 1993. Thereafter, The Coach House and the Courtyard Cottages were skilfully converted to provide a total of 12 comfortable, linked holiday cottages, two of which have been adapted for disabled use and are available on request. Four of the Courtyard Cottages and part of the Castle are available to be booked. The properties are furnished to a high standard and imaginatively decorated with warm colours.
