What is your favourite guest story?

We have so many, we have visitors staying with us from all over the world, from the lady who travelled to stay at Dulrush as she was on a genealogy tour and visited her Caldwell ancestors estate, to the group of french fishermen who visit year on year in search of that elusive pike, and have caught some great ones.

What is your signature dish/food?

Our traditional cooked breakfast always goes down a treat, but we also have freshly baked scones, wheaten and treacle bread daily. Freshly made blackcurrant jam is on the menu in the height of the summer when berries from the owners blackcurrant trees are abundant with juicy berries.

Is there anything about your home that is quirky?

Our farm house has been our family home for more than 30 years, however the Gormley name has been in residents at Dulrush for more than 70 years. Our home is your home whilst you stay with us, our peacocks, chickens and ducks also find Dulrush to be their perfect residence.

Have you ever had any famous guests?

No, not that we can think of.

What is your favourite thing about the area you live in?

We are surrounded by the most wonderful landscape with Lough Erne just minutes away and the scenic view point of Maghoo and Lough Navar just in view by the lake. We are less than 30 minutes from the beaches of South Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way route.

When you are not looking after your guests what is your favourite thing to do?

When we are not looking after our guests, we are busy farming, running our pub, the Black Cat Cove in Belleek and when we get the chance we pack a picnic and take one of our boats out on lough erne to fish or enjoy the relaxing surroundings of Fermanagh.

  • Lough Erne by boat Belleek
