Cosy and stylish home, convenient location for exploring Fermanagh Lakelands

A well-equipped cosy and stylish cottage set in the peaceful village of Lisbellaw, only a 10 minute car journey or short bus ride away from the cultural market town of Enniskillen. Travel in any direction along country roads and you will arrive at Lough Erne, where you can hire a boat, go water-skiing or fishing. If you're feeling energetic, climb nearby Topped Mountain and enjoy the stunning views. The National Trust properties of Castle Coole, Florencecourt and Crom Estate are near at hand and well worth a visit. Marble Arch caves and Geo Park with Cuilcagh Mountain are also close by, and beautiful Donegal beaches are only an hour's drive away. If the weather is chilly, stay in and enjoy the warmth and home comfort offered by the Aga, oil-fired central heating or open log fire. On sunny days the rear garden is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a barbecue. The cottage offers character with modern comforts- downstairs there are two bedrooms: one double and one single, a bathroom and shower room. Upstairs in the converted attic, there is an additional twin bedroom with separate toilet and wash hand basin. It would suit families or couples alike, with private parking and a safe and secure rear garden. Free wifi is included.

Perfect stay in Lisbellaw
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is extremely comfortable, spacious and warm. Every possible requirement has been thought of. Easily the most homely and cosy property we have ever stayed in, not at all like a typical bare holiday property, more a luxury home.

First of all I want to give Margaret some praise. She is very sweet, kind, and caring. She welcomed us in and made sure she saw us to say goodbye and a wish us safe travels home. Her home, which was her sister's, is very cosy. Very accommodationing and very charming. Wow, I really loved the cooker. I wish we could have one back in the states. The beds were very comfortable and all three of us melted in our beds for a good night's sleep after a lovely day of exploring around. The house is a short walk away from shops and restaurants. Lisabellaw is a charming town as well and everyone we came across were very friendly just like Margaret. I forgot to meantion that when we arrived, Margaret had filled the kettle for tea and showed us how to use the cooker and gave us the grand tour of the home. She made pancakes as well to have with our tea. We loved our stay and love Margaret.

A fabulous little home from home. Cosy and comfortable. A great location for exploring.
We descended on the house, four adults and my granddaughter of 2 and a half. Margaret went out of her way to look after us, from getting us some shopping for when we arrived to allowing us to have her own daughters toys to pay with..her daughter is now 42! How lovely for her to do that! We had a super time, and entertained our own family who live locally to Enniskillen for a nice meal. there was plenty of cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery to allow us to all sit around the dining room table and have some precious family time together. I would certainly recommend Kinard House and Margaret. We would love to return x

Brilliantly equiped bungalow like home from home, very close to the lakes and eniskillen and also national trust places. Margaret made us feel very welcome, a very warm cosy base, fully equipped kitchen and walking distance to the local shops. All in all a fabulous stay.

Lovely cottage, plenty of the small touches that make a big difference.
Lovely property with everything you could ever need ...and much more. From the warm welcome by Margaret; who had already lit a fire as it was a chilly day, to the pancakes we were greeted by in the kitchen , it all started very well. The kitchen, as is the rest of the house, is really well equipped with the real treat being the Aga making it extra snug. Loads of towels, nice soap in the bathroom, radox! All the little touches are taken care of. We have stayed in lots of properties in the area over the years and visit the area 4-5 times a year, and this one stands out. There was even fuel for the fire and the kit to light it! A big thumbs up and a heartfelt thankyou to Margaret for a lovely weekend.

The house was perfect, everything we needed plus, plus.
The house was easy to find in the small village. It was clean, cosy and spacious. The owner was lovely and very helpful. The village is an excellent location for exploring Fermanagh. I would recommend This house to anyone. I loved the AGA for both cooking and the added warmth. It was snowing when we visited.

Cozy bungalow with a home from home feel
Very comfortable stay in this property, very well equipped with an AGA cooker and also electric cooker. Margaret the owner is a lovely lady where nothing is too much trouble, she kindly had a roaring fire going for when we arrived as it was freezing temperatures outside. There is plenty of room in the house and very well furnished. The location is in a perfect sitiation being not too far from eniskillen and the beautiful lochs of Co Fermanagh, a small grocery/newspaper store only a short walk away, with a couple of pubs too. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

The cottage was very comfortable and cosy. It had absolutely everything you need for a great holiday
Margaret was extremely helpful and extremely welcoming. It was great to learn a wee bit about aga cooking when she demonstrated this to us on our arrival. The cottage was really big and very well equipped. It had a lovely garden with a sitting area and BBQ. Was a good location for exploring both the north and south of Ireland. We would definitely recommend this great property. We had a great time.

Lovely comfortable house in a good location. Would highly recommend.
After a long tiring journey from the NE of Scotland it was a relief to find the bungalow so well equipped & clean with a cosy atmosphere in which we all immediately relaxed. A home from home with the addition of an aga cooker on which we had soon made ourselves some tea and toast spread with the lovely home made jelly Margaret had left for us. Being unable to greet us herself Margaret had sent along her son Jonnie to make sure all was ok for our arrival and he took the time to introduce us to the area, suggesting places to visit and even lending us his road atlas which proved invaluable. Lisbellaw has a well stocked little village shop and is within easy reach of Enniskillen. A friendly town which has several nice eateries and places of interest to visit. In addition to the county of Fermanagh, on the advice of both Margaret and Jonnie, we visited some interesting and beautiful places on day trips to the counties of Donegal and Sligo. So many lovely places, Maghera caves & beach in Donegal, Glencar waterfall and Mullaghmore point in Sligo and Marble Arch Caves in Fermanagh to name a few. During our stay nothing was too much trouble for Margaret who, with all the added little extras, certainly offers a friendly five star service.

Kinard A little Gem in the heart of Fermanagh
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home from home July 15th. for 9 days. The house itself was so cosy and welcoming we knew at first glance around we had made the right choice. There was everything we needed and more to make our stay enjoyable and so comfortable too. everywhere was so clean. the beds were comfy. there were two bathrooms, Big garden at the front and at the rear of the house we were able to enjoy times in the garden at the back soaking up the sun as the weather was so good. To my delight there was an aga cooker in the kitchen, I enjoyed cooking on the aga. The little village of Lisbellaw was just lovely and very peaceful. The neighbours around us were very good and a pleasure to meet. The Lady that owned the house, Margaret was such a help, she gave us a lot of useful information to help us enjoy our stay. Margaret also had a table set for our arrival with delicious homemade pancakes and tea or coffee. Margaret is a very gracious and lovely lady, she will make sure you have all you need to enjoy the holiday. We loved this home and I was wishing we could have stayed longer, We will most definately go there again. Once you find a wee treasure like this we dont need to look any further.

Cosy, comfortable home with pleasant garden in a great location.
It doesn't get more cosy, comfortable, clean and welcoming than this! We arrived to freshly baked pancakes and spreads, thanks to the generous and kind owner, Margaret. Easy parking on site, in the driveway. There was both an AGA and an electric stove, but being new to the wonders of the AGA, I found it wonderful, even just in that short time. There was a vase of flowers in the lounge window, and all was fresh, and easy to set up home for five nights. From that location we travelled to The Giant's Causeway, the Cliffs of Moher and Sligo. We had a great evening meal in nearby Enniskillen. Highly recommended.
