Very Cosy home, a great base for sightseeing
Brilliantly equiped bungalow like home from home, very close to the lakes and eniskillen and also national trust places.
Margaret made us feel very welcome, a very warm cosy base, fully equipped kitchen and walking distance to the local shops. All in all a fabulous stay.

It was a pleasure to greet Janice and her family again when they came back to Fermanagh to visit family. They are always welcome. Thank you for leaving everything ship-shape! Margaret
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is extremely comfortable, spacious and warm. Every possible requirement has been thought of.
Easily the most homely and cosy property we have ever stayed in, not at all like a typical bare holiday property, more a luxury home.

My guests in Kinard Cottage were the type of people one loves to meet. They were very grateful for everything and left the house spotlessly clean and tidy.
They will be made very welcome if they ever choose to return.

What a pleasure to meet Roger and his family from England. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very pleasant but it didn't seem to keep them from enjoying their break in Ireland.
They left early in the morning and the house was clean and tidy, bins emptied and bin bags replaced - what a treat for me! I hope they will return sometime and enjoy good weather.

Everything was fine and we enjoy our holiday. Thank you Margaret.

First of all I want to give Margaret some praise. She is very sweet, kind, and caring. She welcomed us in and made sure she saw us to say goodbye and a wish us safe travels home. Her home, which was her sister's, is very cosy. Very accommodationing and very charming. Wow, I really loved the cooker. I wish we could have one back in the states. The beds were very comfortable and all three of us melted in our beds for a good night's sleep after a lovely day of exploring around. The house is a short walk away from shops and restaurants. Lisabellaw is a charming town as well and everyone we came across were very friendly just like Margaret. I forgot to meantion that when we arrived, Margaret had filled the kettle for tea and showed us how to use the cooker and gave us the grand tour of the home. She made pancakes as well to have with our tea. We loved our stay and love Margaret.

Lovely comfortable house in a good location. Would highly recommend.
After a long tiring journey from the NE of Scotland it was a relief to find the bungalow so well equipped & clean with a cosy atmosphere in which we all immediately relaxed. A home from home with the addition of an aga cooker on which we had soon made ourselves some tea and toast spread with the lovely home made jelly Margaret had left for us. Being unable to greet us herself Margaret had sent along her son Jonnie to make sure all was ok for our arrival and he took the time to introduce us to the area, suggesting places to visit and even lending us his road atlas which proved invaluable.
Lisbellaw has a well stocked little village shop and is within easy reach of Enniskillen. A friendly town which has several nice eateries and places of interest to visit. In addition to the county of Fermanagh, on the advice of both Margaret and Jonnie, we visited some interesting and beautiful places on day trips to the counties of Donegal and Sligo. So many lovely places, Maghera caves & beach in Donegal, Glencar waterfall and Mullaghmore point in Sligo and Marble Arch Caves in Fermanagh to name a few.
During our stay nothing was too much trouble for Margaret who, with all the added little extras, certainly offers a friendly five star service.

What a wonderful family from Scotland. I am so pleased they enjoyed their stay in Fermanagh. They were so understanding when there were a couple of 'blips' at the beginning of their stay but all was sorted out. Will look forward to meeting again.
Our stay in kinard was brilliant we were welcomed with open arms the bungalow was very comfortable and just like a home from home we definitely do intend to return

A fabulous little home from home. Cosy and comfortable. A great location for exploring.
We descended on the house, four adults and my granddaughter of 2 and a half. Margaret went out of her way to look after us, from getting us some shopping for when we arrived to allowing us to have her own daughters toys to pay with..her daughter is now 42! How lovely for her to do that!
We had a super time, and entertained our own family who live locally to Enniskillen for a nice meal. there was plenty of cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery to allow us to all sit around the dining room table and have some precious family time together.
I would certainly recommend Kinard House and Margaret. We would love to return x

The house was left clean and tidy. Thank you, and come again. Margaret

It was a pleasure to welcome Chris, her husband and Norwegian friends to Lisbellaw.
They certainly were very appreciative and left the house in perfect condition. They even kept the tomatoes and cucumbers alive in the greenhouse with daily watering during very hot weather. Hopefully they will return in the future.

We were welcomed by a lovely lady (thanks Margareth), very attentive and very attentive.
We appreciated the cleanliness of this cozy cottage where nothing is missing.
A pleasant flower garden where a large number of birds in freedom was waiting us every morning with their singing and we feeding them pleasure.
Margareth, please do not forget to tell us if the tomatoes are better this year than the years before !!!!!
Well located house that allows you to visit all the Ulster without forgetting to cross the "border" to visit the Donegal and others.
To recommend without hesitation.
As you can see, the English language is not our forte. Sorry

Wonderful to meet Francois and Sandra, the first French couple to stay in Kinard. They very kindly watered the tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse and didn't forget the pots of herbs outside. I think these are bound to be the best crop ever!

Lovely cottage, plenty of the small touches that make a big difference.
Lovely property with everything you could ever need ...and much more.
From the warm welcome by Margaret; who had already lit a fire as it was a chilly day, to the pancakes we were greeted by in the kitchen , it all started very well.
The kitchen, as is the rest of the house, is really well equipped with the real treat being the Aga making it extra snug.
Loads of towels, nice soap in the bathroom, radox! All the little touches are taken care of.
We have stayed in lots of properties in the area over the years and visit the area 4-5 times a year, and this one stands out.
There was even fuel for the fire and the kit to light it!
A big thumbs up and a heartfelt thankyou to Margaret for a lovely weekend.

The house was easy to find in the small village. It was clean, cosy and spacious. The owner was lovely and very helpful. The village is an excellent location for exploring Fermanagh. I would recommend This house to anyone.
I loved the AGA for both cooking and the added warmth. It was snowing when we visited.

Cozy bungalow with a home from home feel
Very comfortable stay in this property, very well equipped with an AGA cooker and also electric cooker. Margaret the owner is a lovely lady where nothing is too much trouble, she kindly had a roaring fire going for when we arrived as it was freezing temperatures outside.
There is plenty of room in the house and very well furnished.
The location is in a perfect sitiation being not too far from eniskillen and the beautiful lochs of Co Fermanagh, a small grocery/newspaper store only a short walk away, with a couple of pubs too.
We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Margaret was extremely helpful and extremely welcoming. It was great to learn a wee bit about aga cooking when she demonstrated this to us on our arrival. The cottage was really big and very well equipped. It had a lovely garden with a sitting area and BBQ. Was a good location for exploring both the north and south of Ireland.
