The island of Belle Isle, surrounded by the waters of Upper Lough Erne, has been inhabited since the 11th Century. The 470 acre Belle Isle Estate, now a working farm with a cattle herd, was purchased by the Duke of Abercorn, for his second son, Lord Nicholas Hamilton in 1991. The modernisation of the Castle, dated from 1680, was completed in 1993. Thereafter, the Coach House, followed by the farm courtyard, 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. Belle Isle is a good base for exploring Sligo, Donegal and the north coast. The town of Enniskillen, with its choice of restaurants and shops, is only eight miles away and there is a pub within a mile. Fermanagh o ers some wonderful opportunities for walking.
