They say time moves differently in Fermanagh. And at the Westville Hotel, we believe that’s something to celebrate. Here, you’re not rushing from one attraction to the next—you’re savouring every moment. It’s called Fermanagh Time: a slower, more meaningful rhythm that invites you to pause, breathe, and simply be.
As one recent guest put it:
“So relaxing, just what we needed. Everyone was so pleasant—we just fitted in.”
Whether you’re planning a midweek breather or a weekend wander, here’s a 48-hour guide to help you settle into Enniskillen’s calm and comforting embrace.
Day One: Ease Into Enniskillen
11:30AM – Arrive in Town & Grab a Light Bite
Before check-in, stretch your legs and enjoy a relaxed brunch or coffee at the Gourmet Café. It’s just around the corner from the hotel and perfect for a first taste of local flavours.
12:30PM – Explore Enniskillen Castle
Take your time wandering through this 600-year-old riverside fortress. The museums and grounds offer just the right mix of interest and serenity. A lovely introduction to the heritage of Fermanagh without the crowds.
2PM – A Stroll Along the Water
Walk the short loop from the castle down to Broadmeadow and back via the pedestrian bridges. Watch the boats, feed the ducks, and breathe in the lakeside air. No rush—you’re already living on Fermanagh time.
3PM – Check-In at The Westville Hotel
Now’s your moment to relax. Settle into your room, pour yourself a cup of tea, and unwind. The Westville is designed for comfort and calm—your peaceful home for the next two nights.
4:30PM – Island Discovery Electric Boat Tour
Head down to the jetty for a gentle cruise aboard the Island Discovery—a fully electric boat that glides silently around Enniskillen’s waterways. The town looks different from the lough, and the quiet is part of the magic.
7PM – Dinner at The Firehouse
Wind down your day with a delicious meal at The Firehouse, Enniskillen’s much-loved grill and oven restaurant. It’s warm, inviting, and full of character—just like the town itself.
Day Two: Gardens, Gourmet & Going Nowhere Fast
8:30AM – Breakfast at Westville Hotel
Start your morning with a hearty breakfast—freshly prepared and never rushed. A proper Fermanagh day starts with a proper feed.
10AM – Florence Court House & Gardens
Take a slow drive into the countryside to explore Florence Court, one of the region’s most elegant estates. Stroll the walled garden, explore the house, or follow one of the gentle forest trails.
1PM – Lunch at Gourmet Grocers & Café
Back in town, treat yourself to a relaxed lunch at the Gourmet Café or pick up a picnic basket for later. Their take-home local food kits are great if you’re planning a drive or scenic spot to stop.
2:30PM – Kestrel Cruise to Devenish Island
Step aboard the Kestrel, a classic cruiser heading for the monastic ruins of Devenish Island. Surrounded by water and history, it’s a moment of stillness and reflection you’ll remember long after your return.
5PM – Rest or a Pint at The Crowes Nest
Pop into The Crowes Nest for an early evening drink or bite. Whether it’s for the live music or just the friendly pub atmosphere, it’s always a good call.
Stay & Explore: It’s Your Time to Explore
In Enniskillen, it’s not about how much you do—it’s about how it makes you feel. That slower pace is what keeps people coming back, again and again. At the Westville Hotel, we’re proud to be part of that rhythm.
Why Not Make It a Sunday Saver?
There’s something extra special about a Sunday night in Enniskillen. The streets are quieter, the pace is slower, and it feels like the world is giving you permission to pause. Our Sunday Saver package is your invitation to stretch out the weekend and savour one more evening of calm.
