Rossahilly House is situated in its own private bay, overlooking Trasna and Car islands in Lower Lough Erne. Beyond these uninhabited islands lies the Nick Faldo Championship Course of Lough Erne which boasts Rory McIlroy as its touring professional.

Take yourself on a journey of discovery on this beautiful and peaceful waterway, to visit the 12th Century monastery of Devenish Island (viewable from Rossahilly) or the mystical carvings of White Island and the watery grave of the wartime Catalina sea planes.

For the more adventurous, the Fermanagh lakelands have become the first name in water sport activities - hosting the World Water Ski championships three years in a row or the superb Lough Fest featuring some of the world's best wakeboarders and guest appearance from Florida’s Tampa Bay Water Ski Show Team. Nearby Bundoran was the recent host of the European Surfing Championships.

National Trust properties are amongst the most spectacular anywhere and a must see for the sheer diversity of luxury living in a bygone era and superb family days out in their beautifully managed estates.

Northern Ireland is shaping up to be a world focus for festivals - visit the Titanic museum in Belfast (less than two hours drive) and the new Giants Causeway visitor exhibition. In the beautiful island town of Enniskillen, come to the annual Samuel Beckett Festival and explore his classroom and the cricket pitch where he excelled during his schooldays. Royal Portora was also the school of Oscar Wilde and with Fermanagh being the ancestral home of Rudyard Kipling and WB Yeats' homeland in the adjacent Co. Sligo - the northwest has a literary and cultural heritage that is second to none.

Recently the northwest of Ireland has become the focus of world golf with Rory Mcilroy, Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington and Graham McDowell all regulars at the Lough Erne Championship course - Rossahilly House is directly viewable from the 7th and 9th greens!

“A spectacular home with amazing views and the price could not be beat!” This home was just perfect for my family to stay in for the week. The price person was fantastic and you could never find something this amazing for such great value. The home itself was just remarkable. The floors, the fireplaces, the dining room, every bedroom and bathroom, the kitchen, everything was just gorgeous. In additional to all that you have a wonderful view of the lake. If we did it all over again this is exactly where we would stay without a doubt.

“Superb venue, surroundings and ambience” We took Rossahilly for a family reunion for a party of 18 for a long weekend. The setting is superb with ever changing views across Lower Lough Erne. The accommodation is excellent with large bedrooms most en suite and with good views. We had local caterers to do the evening meals which were served in the elegant and large dining room. There is a large sitting room for conversation etc. The venue is great for expeditions around Fermanagh and into South Donegal. There is much to see and do in this lovely area. The interesting access across St Angelo airfield adds to the enjoyment. All in all Rossahilly House is a great venue.

“Rossahilly offered a unique venue for our wedding, both the house itself and as a stunning site for our teepees.” We have seen Rossahilly in both the splitting sun and the miserable rain and the house lends itself to both amazingly. It is a perfect location to spend time with extended family as there are 9 bedrooms, all of which are ensuite. The house is so big that you do not disturb one-another and yet cosy in each of the rooms. The barn was a brilliant place to 'make our own' for our wedding ceremony, it is now a registered venue for Fermanagh Council. The grounds were an amazing setting for us to site our teepees. Everyone got to watch the everchanging sunset which made Lough Erne look so enchanting. the location is great in terms of country parks, stately homes, shoreside walks as well as being only 5 minutes away from Enniskillen town centre. The only down fall with it (and to be honest was only because we had a large group of wedding guests (150) was that the crossing of the runway became an issue due to the signage being at that gate. If the airport want drivers to go around the runway the sign for Rossahilly really should be at the other gate and clearer instructions. To be honest I can't see that being an actually problem though with only houseguests. The owners of the house were great hosts and helped with our arrangements from start to finish and even since then! Response: Thank you so much for your lovely review and again for choosing Rossahilly as your wedding venue. The weather certainly played its part and we hope all your guests enjoyed themselves. We must be the only wedding venue that has a small, private airfield on its doorstep. Our guests have the option of taking a scenic flight by sea-plane directly from the House or even a flying lesson in a plane or helicopter. Feedback from our guests suggests this is a large part of the Rossahilly experience and makes it truly unique. We constantly review access arrangements for large functions and email all our guests comprehensive directions together with our telephone number in case of any queries. We ask this to be forwarded to all wedding guests thereby ensuring a failsafe system. It has certainly proved to be a memorable talking point with young and old alike. Thank you again for your kind comments and we look forward to welcoming you and your family again in the future.

“A very special family holiday in a magical place” Although there is a risk that my five star recommendation will lead to Rossahilly's greater popularity and reduced availability for our future holidays, I am compelled to be honest. The dramatic views of Lough Erne from the house inspired us and the house itself was cavernous but very welcoming. The big garden was great for the children to play in and our walks along the footpath down to the lough shore were invigorating and fun filled. We'll be back in 2012 and our trip can't come soon enough... Response: Hi RP, we're delighted you all had such a great time. I can only apologise for the beautiful and sunny weather during your visit - I know you had requested good old fashioned stormy Irish weather! I'm glad you also enjoyed the photoshoot that was organised during your trip - you have a beautiful family. We've been busy with further upgrades and refurbishment during the past few months and look forward to seeing you and your family again in due course. Best regards to sunny Dubai...

“Paradise on the Lake” We were a group of 12 Aussies doing the grand tour of the UK and were blessed when we found this property. We were met and welcomed at the door by the owner and shown through the house. Immediately it was apparent that we were in a 5 star accommodation. Bedrooms were well appointed with excellent ensuites and the master bedroom was to die for. Kitchen ,good enough for a chef to prepare your feast if you were holding a wedding there or doing corporate conferences.Dining room would sit 20 comfortably,with a view across the lake to the Nick Faldo golf course. Lounge areas one formal and one for the TV. If you were touring we found it an excellent spot. Managed the Giants Causeway easily in a day. Trips to Slieve League and Londonderry easy. Locally ,Devenish Island , Janus Stones and of course Beleek pottery Enniskillen has all you want in restaurants and pubs plus we found a deli that had Guinness cheese and many other unique delights. Great spot, great house and a great host. Steve Response: Hi Guys, thank you for your very kind review of Rossahilly. You certainly packed in a lot during your visit and we're delighted that Rossahilly was such a good base for you all. The restaurant we recommended to you still talks about you with affection. You very kindly gave little Koala bears to my two children and they still take pride of place by their bedsides in the evening. Northern Ireland is shaping up to have a big future in tourism and you guys clearly saw the potential. I hope we meet again in the future and you would of course be made very welcome when you next visit. With best regards to all in beautiful Oz.

“Ideal New Year venue” Stayed for the best part of a week over new year 2009/2010. This was before the latest improvements and even then it was amazing. We were looking for somewhere big enough for a large group of family and friends, that would give us our own individual space but also large entertaining space which would allow us to bring in the new year together. The huge dining room is beautiful and we easily sat 20 of us for new year's eve dinner. The grand drawing room/ front room had a lovely log fire where we all congregated for drinks and games. Rory (the owner) was really helpful, answering our annoying questions and sorting out the small things like having plenty of logs for the fire and putting up a christmas tree. Only small criticism was some of the bedrooms were a bit tired looking but i think that was probably addressed in the renovations. Will definitely be going back. Response: Hi Guys, We're delighted you enjoyed your New Year stay at Rossahilly and thank you for your review and support. We've certainly been busy since your last visit refurbishing the House, bedrooms etc and also converting the beautiful Barn to its former glory - perfect should any of your friends wish to get married in a Barn overlooking the Loughs and Islands in this beautiful part of the world. We very much look forward to greeting you on your next arrival where you will all be very welcome. Kindest regards,
