Tanya and I were recently back down at the wonderful Manor House hotel just outside the island town of Enniskillen. The Manor House is a great base for checking out beautiful scenery and getting to the numerous National Trust properties, forest parks museums and ancestral homesteads that we wanted to visit.
We were not disappointed. As expected, our hotel welcome, accmodation, food, friendly staff, comfort were all top class. -Of course we had the added bonus of being there during one of our summer heat waves!
Come down to Enniskillen and give the Manor House a go.
We will most certainly be back!
The Manor House Resort Hotel, also known as the Manor House Country Hotel, is a hotel near Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It occupies a former manor house which dates to the 19th century. A four star hotel, its facilities include a swimming pool, gymnasium, restaurants and conference centre.
History
Captain John Irvine, whose brother was Colonel Christopher Irvine of Castle Irvine, acquired the Killadeas estate in 1660. The house was then known as Rockfield. The name was changed to Killadeas Manor House by Major John Irvine, who acquired Killadeas in 1835 and died in 1860.
During World War II, the building was requisitioned by the government and used as an officers' mess and headquarters for the nearby Killadeas seaplane base. It was a seaplane from Killadeas that spotted the German battleship the Bismark during WW2.
The Manor House, described by Mark Bence-Jones as being of "Victorian Italianate" design, was sold in 1957 for conversion to a hotel. Subject to renovation in 2002 and as of 2016, the hotel was owned by members of the McKenna family.
