About Bluebell Cottage

Bluebell Cottage is a traditional stone farm cottage complete with wooden sliding sash windows and an open fire. It's one in a collection of courtyard cottages on the Crom estate, a tranquil landscape of islands, woodland and historical ruins, next to Lough Erne.

The jetty is just over 100 metres from the cottage, so you could hire a canoe or bring your own and paddle along the river, discovering its narrow channels and scattered islands. Make the most of your unique location close to ancient woodlands and an abundance of wildlife, as well as miles of walking and cycling trails and the ruins of a 17th-century castle.

Further afield, the town of Enniskillen is just a 20 mile drive away. Visit the town’s historic castle, fascinating museum, independent shops, cafés and traditional inns.

Larger groups can also book neighbouring Willow Cottage, sleeping three, and Alder Cottage, sleeping two.
