Orchard View

Orchard View sits in a line of terraced cottages just metres from the shores of the Lough Erne on the Crom estate. It used to house the farm workers of the estate and has now been restored into an inviting, three-bedroom holiday home, complete with an open fire and large windows. It also has an interconnecting door to neighbouring Willow Cottage (sleeps three) if you need more space for larger parties. 

Make the most of your unique location close to ancient woodlands, the river and an abundance of wildlife. Discover ancient yew trees, biking routes and canoe trails that take you along narrow channels and scattered islands. There’s a jetty close by, so you can bring your own canoe or kayak or hire one at the visitor centre. 

Further afield, the town of Enniskillen is 20 miles away. Here you can explore its castle, museum and high street shops. Whilst there, take a boat trip to the Monastic Tower on Devenish Island.
