Anniversary escapes
Remember the day you first knew? That split-second when everything shifted and you thought, “This is it. This is the person.” Whether you’re marking another year together or planning to renew the promises you made, some moments deserve more than a dinner reservation and a card from the garage.
They deserve a setting that matches the magnitude of what you’re celebrating. Am I right, or am I right?
Here at Rossclare Lodge, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming many couples who are here to celebrate their love story against the backdrop of Lough Erne’s stunning shoreline. We’ve welcomed couples of all ages who simply want to press pause and remember why they chose each other. And why not? We’d love to help you celebrate you love story too!
Did you know that couples who regularly invest in quality time together are much more likely to be satisfied in their relationship. But here’s the thing: quality time doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intention, privacy, and an environment that encourages you both to exhale..
So, let’s talk about how to celebrate your love story in a truly unforgettable way.
Why the best celebrations involve doing absolutely nothing!
Here’s an uncomfortable truth: many anniversary celebrations are just too exhausting. You book restaurants, arrange childcare, coordinate schedules, and by the time you’re actually together, you’re both too tired to enjoy it properly. Then you wonder why it didn’t feel as special as you’d hoped.
The best anniversary celebrations we’ve witnessed here have one thing in common: couples give themselves permission to slow down completely and really celebrate their love story together.
How to truly unwind during your anniversary stay:
- Arrive early enough to properly decompress – don’t leave it until the evening to unwind. Make the most of our tastefully decorated rooms, the homemade cookies and maybe a bottle of something bubbly! Take a nap in our seriously comfy beds – multiple guests have commented on how comfortable they are!
- Book afternoon tea by the fire and spend hours just talking, something most couples rarely get time for at home.
- Take advantage of the peaceful location – listen to the birdsong in the neighbouring woodlands, wander the beautiful gardens, sit in the Geodome, walk down to the jetty to watch the sunset.
- Let us handle the meals How wonderful not to have to think about cooking or washing up, or even driving to a restaurant! –Choose one of our supper options like our French Raclette Rendezvous or a scrummy sharing platter.
- Disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other. What luxury to have the time to do that!
Guest reviews tell the whole story
This lovely review came from a couple who stayed for their special occasion this year
A lovely home from home near to beautiful Lough Erne
- Rossclare Lodge is a wonderful ‘home from home’, perfectly located for exploring the Fermanagh countryside. Denise and Jim offered a warm welcome, doing all they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
The bedroom and en-suite were spacious and spotless, and we slept soundly in the comfortable king size bed.
The thoughtful touches provided by Denise and Jim make Rossclare Lodge really special. Not just tea and coffee in the bedroom, but a jar of homemade cookies (yummy!) plus luxurious eco-friendly toiletries in the bathroom were the kind of extras which make you feel cared for.
For breakfast, we were offered a range of tasty menu options to suit all tastes. We had to try the Ulster fry for our first morning! And the French toast with berries and crème fraiche on the second morning was the best we’ve ever tasted!
After our days out, which included climbing the incredible Stairway to Heaven up Cuilcagh Mountain, we rounded off our evenings with coffee in the garden dome overlooking the wildflower lawn and colourful flowerbeds, and wandering down the lane to watch the sunset over Lough Erne. Thank you, Denise and Jim, for a perfect getaway.
The Rossclare Lodge difference: why location and atmosphere matter
Not every bed and breakfast is equipped for romance. Some are too busy, some are too formal or completely informal, and some are too focused on ticking tourist boxes. At Rossclare Lodge, we’ve designed everything around the idea that couples need genuine privacy, comfort, and warmth—both from the roaring fire in the sitting room and from hosts who genuinely care about making the celebration of your love story special.
What makes us different:
- Adults-only accommodation means no worrying about noise from neighbouring rooms or jolly family groups
- Private rooms with ensuite bathrooms – Aspen’s balcony and spa bath add an extra layer of luxury
- Eco-friendly practices including solar panels and sustainable products, so you can celebrate your love while respecting the environment
- Personalised attention – we’re Jim and Denise, not a corporate hotel chain, and we genuinely love being part of your celebration
- The location itself – our little spot on the shores of Lough Erne offers that rare combination of accessibility and genuine seclusion
As one guest wrote: “The perfect Irish countryside setting. This life was the most peaceful we could imagine. Starting with the beautiful countryside location, a stately residence surrounded by a myriad of flowers. The room was a peaceful and serene retreat, the decor was perfection itself and Denise had thought of every comfort you could ask for.”
Another added: “We had a wonderful time. The food was outstanding. Denise & Jim were lovely and helpful hosts. Wish we could stay longer. The garden was beautiful. Try the afternoon tea!”
