Dulrush Lodge

Our stay was for one night in this large fishing lodge with lovely public areas. Situated on a rise, we had to walk uphill with our luggage from the parking area which may be difficult for some people. The facility had a bar and dining room which served us a good breakfast. Our room was comfortable and clean with a view of the lake. Plenty of outdoor seating was available which we could not enjoy due to weather. Unlike the home stays where the owners opened their door to you upon arrival , checking in here we were not greeted by Bridie firsthand but had to search for her on the premises. Contact with the owner was minimal during our stay and no one was around when we left. Otherwise it was a adequate stay.

The bar and dining area were nice as was the staff. The bed in our room was extremely uncomfortable and made it very hard to sleep. The stairway leading to our room smelled of strong cigarette smell and as I am allergic made it a difficult climb trying not to breathe in the air.

We had a very nice room in a lovely setting with a good breakfast. Unfortunately we had to travel to Bleek to have dinner as Dulrush was not serving.

Nestled on the serene shores of Lough Erne, Dulrush Fishing Lodge is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by avid anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. We were impressed by our recent stay at this picturesque retreat, owned by the delightful Bridie and James. Location-wise, Dulrush Fishing Lodge is an angler's paradise. Situated on the edge of the tranquil Lough, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking scenery, it offers the perfect setting for a peaceful getaway. Whether casting a line into the sparkling waters or simply soaking in the natural beauty, every moment spent here feels like a blissful escape from the everyday hustle. The lodge itself exudes rustic charm and cozy comfort. From the inviting common areas adorned with fishing memorabilia to the well-appointed guest rooms boasting stunning views, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to ensure a memorable stay. It's the perfect balance of rustic elegance and modern convenience, providing a welcoming retreat after a day spent exploring the great outdoors. Now, let's talk about the food – it's simply outstanding. Bridie's culinary prowess shines through in every dish, with each meal a delightful blend of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and expertly crafted flavors. From hearty breakfasts to sumptuous dinners, every bite is a testament to her culinary skill and dedication to excellence. My wife is celiac, and it didn’t phase Bridie and her kitchen staff one bit. And James's warm hospitality only adds to the dining experience, making every meal feel like a cherished memory shared among friends. But perhaps the company was the highlight of our stay at Dulrush Fishing Lodge. Bridie and James are not just hosts – genuine, welcoming souls who go above and beyond to ensure their guests feel part of the family. Whether swapping fishing stories over a delicious meal or sharing a laugh by the pub, their warmth and hospitality create an exceptional atmosphere. I cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning.

We stayed for 2 nights in June 2023. Bridie and the staff at the lodge could not have been nicer. The rooms were spotless and spacious. The on site restaurant and bar were open and we dined there both nights. The food was lovely. Breakfast was delicious. I would definitely return when I get the chance.
