Romantic Lakeside Escape
Time by the lough, long dinners and very little driving.
You asked for something restful for two: one lakeside base, a short boat trip and a viewpoint, with nothing scheduled tightly.
- Couples
- Relax and recharge
- One to three nights
Where to base yourself
Lower Lough Erne lakeshore
Waking up on the water is the point; the town is still only 15 minutes away.
Day by day
Day 1
Arrive slowly
- Check in on the lakeshore and take the shoreline walk from the hotel or lodge.
- Dinner where you are staying rather than driving back out.
Day 2
Water and a view
- Late-morning skippered boat trip on the lough.
- Drive the Lough Navar Forest road up to the Magho Viewpoint.
- Evening in Enniskillen, or a spa afternoon if your hotel has one.
Day 3
One last stop
- Florence Court gardens, or an unhurried breakfast and a walk before you leave.
Where to eat
Pick a hotel restaurant on the lakeshore for one night and an Enniskillen town restaurant for the other.
