Right on the edge of Lough Erne in the beautiful Fermanagh Lakelands, our Northern Ireland Tourist Board 5 star rated cottage has stunning views. Peace and tranquility abound. The cottage is fully equipped for all your self-catering needs, including a bbq and outdoor furniture. The gated surroundings are safe for everyone to walk around. Easy access to the water for fishing or to launch your own kayak. Restaurant facilities nearby at Finn Lough Resort or Lusty Beg island, though you will need a car to access the property. Two minutes to the nearest shop, 30 minutes from a beach, 15 minutes from either Kesh or Belleek. Lots of places to visit including Boa Island Janus figures, Belleek pottery, Castle Caldwell, Castle Archdale, Donegal, Rossnowlagh. Go explore! or not... just walk around on site, read a book by the water, listen to the sounds of the birds and local farm animals. No pets allowed. Max 6 person occupancy including children. Cot, booster seat and stair gates provided on request. Home from home, come and relax!
Our family moved back from New Zealand two years ago. Whilst we miss the weather, we have found a wee piece of paradise in Shamrock Cottage. From the minute the gates open, relaxation kicks in. Our boys enjoy fishing off the jetties and exploring the trees, scrub and waters edge! We will welcome you on site and get your stay off to a great start! I am a photographer, author, part-time farmer, was scientist and busy mum to my boys! We love our cottage and know you will too!
Portagaria Wood, Aghnablaney, is a fabulous base for exploring Fermanagh, Donegal and Sligo. Within 30 minutes you can be in a town, on a beach, in a woodland, on the lake or on a mountain top! Lots of local walks, lots to explore by boat and we can give you information regarding hire of a boat or guided tours via boat. Plenty of indoor venues such as Belleek pottery, Enniskillen Museum, Donegal Tweed, National Trust properties including Castle Coole and Florencecourt. The remarkable Marble Arch Caves too. On site, there is a long drive way to the cottages. Each are now privately owned but the site was all self-catering cottages until early 2016. Although the four cottages are located at the end of the drive, each is private. Shamrock Cottage is the last along the front and there are no other cars on site passing by. It's safe for children playing outside! The lake is visible from the kitchen and lounge with large windows. It's an ever changing view! Enjoy it from outside on the patio or inside in the sun lounge!
