Have visited this hotel for many years and have been let down in recent visits. My family and I used to stay in the homely cottages until they were unfortunately unavailable. As we were so impressed with the cottages we decided to give the main hotel a chance as we loved the surrounding area. The hotel was average overall but... More

We have just got home from a Groupon weekend at the Lough Erne Hotel in Kesh Co. Fermanagh.What can I say? We almost cancelled the trip after reading previous reviews on Tripadvisor, however we decided to carry on and keep an open mind. Thank God we did! As soon as we walked in the door we were made very welcome... More

My mum and dad stayed at this hotel for their 36th wedding anniversary on 13-14th May through a Groupon deal. When they arrived they were made to feel very welcome and the room they stayed in was lovely. It had been newly refurbished to a very high standard and was very comfortable. My mum even commented that she slept better... More

We too went on a Groupon deal, and for the money, it wasn't bad at all!! Our room was at the side of the hotel, so no river view, but no noise either. Room 6 looks small when you enter, but actually has a decent amount of floor space. Has been done up, new carpet and nice colour scheme of... More

We stayed at the Lough Erne Hotel with the GROUPON deal for £39 in May 2013 with another two couples. The room we had was clean and the bed was the most comfortable I have slept in. The staff were friendly and helpful. There are renovations going on but this wasn't a big problem. We had a sub standard meal... More

Having booked a break before reading these reviews we were apprehensive and considered cancelling. The refurbishments were ongoing but did not spoil our stay. We can honestly say we had a wonderful time Maybe due to the bad reviews there was only a few people staying. It is an older hotel but it was clean and the staff did everything... More

Like others who have provided a review I used a GROUPON deal to stay in this 'hotel' for one night for £49, the best thing I can say is I'm glad I didn't book for any longer. The Manager/Owner/Chef may reply to this, but I will be honest, keeping in mind that I paid £49. On arrival I was surprised... More

The Hotel is situated in the heart of Fermanagh's lakeland on the banks of the Glendurragh River 1 mile from Lough Erne itself, a warm and friendly welcome awaits you on your arrival at the Lough Erne Hotel. Our Riverside lounge and Bridgewater restaurant offers an excellent choice of menu. Regular entertainment, weekend and midweek breaks throughout the year.The Lough Erne Hotel began life as a Royal Irish Constabulary barrack in 1862. It was built by the governors of the Vaughan Charity who then owned the village of Kesh. The building cost £650 and the police paid £30 per year for rent. A year after the barrack was built it was burnt down in an accidental fire. Some repairs were done immediately but further work was carried out in 1921. For example stabling for horses that was provided behind the hotel in what is now the Glendurragh Suite. One of the RIC officers stationed in Kesh, Constable McCormick, was a very famous boxer. In fact he once fought the British Heavyweight Champion, Billy Wells. Another local man, Bob Irwin, was also a famous boxer in those days, once beating the Welterweight champion of the Rhine Army. ... more   less
