Description
Willow Cottage is a traditional stone-built property nestled within the historic farmyard of the 2,000-acre Crom Estate. Originally used to house farm workers, this cosy two-bedroom retreat has been beautifully restored, featuring wooden sliding sash windows and a large open hearth fire. Situated just a short stroll from the shores of Upper Lough Erne, the cottage serves as an ideal base for those wishing to immerse themselves in one of Ireland's most important nature conservation areas, surrounded by ancient woodland and a wealth of rare wildlife.
Dogs are welcome inside Willow Cottage (limit of one dog), but must be kept on leads at all times when exploring the wider Crom Estate grounds.

Direct Estate Access: Step out of your front door and immediately access over 12 miles of waymarked trails, including walks to the 17th-century Old Crom Castle ruins.
