Enniscoe House - Courtyard Houses

In parkland and mature woods on the shores of Lough Conn, Enniscoe House was built by ancestors of the present owner, Susan Kellett, who settled here in the 1660s, and is a very special place for anglers and other visitors with a natural empathy for the untamed wildness of the area.



The house is surrounded by beautiful woodlands, with a network of paths, and there are restored walled gardens (both ornamental and productive one is run commercially as an organic market garden), which are open to the public and have tea-rooms and a shop.



There is brown trout fishing on Lough Conn and other trout and salmon fishing nearby; boats, ghillies, tuition and hire of equipment can be arranged.
