Further details outdoors:
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.

In 2012, Northern Ireland is shaping up to be a world focus for festivals - visit the Titanic museum in Belfast (less than two hours drive), the opening of 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!

For details and dates of all these and other events, please visit our Facebook page (linked from our website) or contact us directly.

“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...

“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

“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.
