Reviews for Willowbank House
Review 1：Extremely friendly,excellent breakfast and could not have been more helpful. Really want to stay there again.Would thoroughly recommend. Many thanks to Joan and Tom.
Review 2：This is a lovely B&B with gracious, caring hosts. The house and its gardens are immaculate. The breakfast was above and beyond. We will definitely recommend it to friends, and will return one day.
Review 3：The road into the property was long and windy but well worth the drive. The owners were very open and welcoming and went out of their way to be helpful. The food was excellent. The view was spectacular. The B & B was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this B & B
Review 4：Beautiful immaculate accommodation with superb breakfast. Warm welcome from Joan and Tom. Fabulous setting overlooking Fermanagh lakes. Delighted to have found this wonderful B & B and will definitely be back!
Review 5：Nothing!
Review 6：This was our first visit to a B&B for several years. It was a wake-up call that B&Bs can be excellent!The house itself is down a winding country lane not far from central Enniskillen off the Belfast road. It is clearly signposted and there are several welcome 'reminder' signs along the way because the sinuous nature of the road can make 2 miles feel far further than it really is!Our welcome was genuine and warm. Joan explained how the B&B worked - choosing one's breakfast the night before, where the lounge and dining room were, and which key fitted which lock. We immediately felt at home and were delighted with the cleanliness and comfort of our ensuite room, plus the tea, coffee and biscuits! The water was beautifully hot during our stay and the shower had great water pressure, which can be a problem in a house where the hot water system is shared between many users ... though not here! Particularly welcome was a little glass pot containing all the little essentials you might forget to pack and need urgently ... cotton wool, cotton buds, sewing kit, shower cap, plasters, aspirin etc. That shows not only attention to detail but a real understanding of what a guest might need in a hurry but not necessarily want to bother a host for. We couldn't have found kinder and more attentive hosts than Joan and her husband Tom, both of whom make you feel really welcome.The house is set in a large, beautiful garden, with a two person swing, a summer house, and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the stunning views. The colour and quality of the lawn was in sharp contrast to our own brown stubble after an overly-hot summer.After a great night's sleep, in a comfy bed and absolute quiet both from inside and outside the hotel, we went to breakfast. Or more like a break-FEAST! The choice is generous, the jams and fruit compotes are home made, the breads varied and oh! the cooked items!!
Review 7：That we only had 1 night here.
Review 8：This is a gem. Gorgeous location overlooking a lake and fields. The house is perfectly landscaped and decorated. They have thought of every thing and then some. Friendly hosts obviously love what they are doing. No faults at all. You'll be happy if you book here.
Review 9：The situation, scenic panoramic views, peacefulness wonderful gardens, pleasant staff, felt very at home, outstanding variety of breakfasts, cleanliness
Review 10：Lovely B&B with lovely, friendly hosts, Joan & Tom. Wonderful breakfasts. Picturesque town. B&B not too far out of town along a little road. Great views! Excellent stay.
Review 11：Willowbank is a truly beautiful place to stay. Hosts are warm and welcoming, rooms are superb - everything is beautifully furnished. The breakfast is the best we have had. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Review 12：It's a narrow road to get there, but it's very well signposted. It's in a beautiful location, wonderful views and incredibly clean air. Tom and Joan were really lovely people who made us feel so welcome. The bed was really comfy, the room was very spacious and the shower was wonderful. The house itself is very beautiful, and felt like coming home even though we were only there for one night!

Review 19：We spent two nights at Willowbank and I can only say that it far exceeded expectations. We had a lovely spacious room with equally spacious bathroom. Breakfast was way above average, prepared with a lot of attention that is often missing in B&Bs. The location is great and so tranquil. Thanks to Joan and Tom for a lovely few days.

Cleanliness was 'out of this world', there was a wide selection of locally produced items on the breakfast menu, the quality of a cooked breakfast was superb, the country roadway adjacent to Willowbank House was traffic free, luxurious thick fleecy towels were provided in the bath/shower room, the hospitality tray was very inviting after long walks nearby and the attention, advice and assistance given to us by the proprietors Joan and Tom was second to none. This was a very enjoyable, quiet and relaxing break. We look forward to returning to Willowbank House for a longer stay in 2014.
