“Wonderful, comfortable cottage - perfect location!”
Staying at Shamrock Cottage was such a joy! Though the photos we saw online were stunning, the home definitely exceeded our expectations when we got to the property and experienced it all in person. Our host (Anita) was so personable and such a pleasure to interact with, as she was easily accessible and quick to respond to any inquiries. She provided such detailed suggestions, as well as, many insights on what do to in the area - which we found immensely helpful. We also feel as though we've made a new friend! The cottage was immaculately kept and came FULLY equipped with so much more that one could ask for (kitchen ware, linens, coffee, teas, eggs, washing machine, etc) - which made the stay that much more comfortable. Location-wise, Shamrock was the perfect base (we stayed 3 nights) for us to take day trips to Donegal, Sligo, and much of the surrounding sites (castles, churches, walking trails, etc). We loved the quiet secludedness of this accommodation, paired with the serene feeling right on Loch Erne. We also appreciated the quick access into town. We would definitely recommend Shamrock to anyone passing through the area and hope to visit again in the near future!

I will definitely be back. The cottage was lovely. Lighting the fire in the evening and sitting in that living room by the lake was just magical.

The house is excellent, in a stunning location with beautiful views over Lough Erne. Anita was a very attentive host who provided lots of information about things to do and see in the local area. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the equipment and utensils you could need.

“A great break with a variety of ages”
We had a great stay here at Shamrock Cottage. The property had everything we needed. Key collection was well organised and communication with Anita was perfect. The house was really well cleaned and the instructions for all Covid related cleaning were clear and easy to carry out. The house is right on the lake and we had great fun swimming in the lake and using our kayak in the amazing weather. We all had a great time and would not hesitate to book again.

The location is idyllic.. lower lough erne is at the foot of the garden, so peaceful and the cottage has everything you could possibly need or want.. the owner had left various little food items which was a lovely extra welcoming touch. Would definitely go back
