We stayed here for a long weekend in June 2017 and would highly recommend it. Firstly, it is an exceptionally comfortable and friendly B&B, with beautiful rooms, a great cooked Ulster breakfast (and cereals/toast etc) with real coffee and a proper cup of tea. Your hosts, the father-and-son team Derek and Darren, could not be more helpful and accommodating, and there is plenty of free parking as well. There is a lovely guest lounge and there are plenty of quiet country lanes for walking. The ancient Cassidy Rath is a 30-minute walk away, and you can walk to upper Lough Erne.
Killideas is close to a number of amenities, including the stunning Castle Archdale country park and two great restaurants being Tullana in nearby Lisnarick and Molly’s bar and restaurant in Irvinestown which is about 3 miles away. Enniskillen is also worth a visit, especially the Round-O marina at the base of Lower Lough Erne.
Longfields is an excellent base for touring Co. Fermanagh, Co. Donegal and Co. Sligo. We visited Belleek pottery (about 20 minutes by car, and don’t miss the Thatch cottage cafe in the village), Donegal town (about an hour), Ballyshannon and Bundoran (also about an hour or so). There are some lovely drives and don’t miss the drive between Ballyshannon and Garrison alongside Lough Melvin. You cross the border on a regular basis as you tour but hardly notice the difference, apart from the signs being...We stayed here for a long weekend in June 2017 and would highly recommend it.

You cross the border on a regular basis as you tour but hardly notice the difference, apart from the signs being in mph or kph. Sligo town is also an easy drive and you can tour Yeat’s country from here. On our way to Donegal town, we went through the border village of Pettigo and took the road to Lough Derg where we could see the pilgrimage island of St. Patrick (although didn’t have time to take the ferry to the island).
Derek’s home-made bread is absolutely wonderful, and their hospitality is excellent. They are close to the Manor House Inn Hotel which is situated on the Lough, and you can also hire boats from there (and the hotel runs a touring boat service from near Castle Archdale, off the Killideas-Kesh road). If we’re in the area again, we will definitely stay there again.More
