The cottage will be available for occupation from 3.00pm on day of arrival and should be vacated by 11.00am on day of departure to facilitate cleaning etc.

Please telephone a day or two prior to arrival for instructions of where to collect keys.
On departure simply return keys to where you found them.

A damage bond of £50.00 is required. This will be returned no later than 3 working days after your departure provided there is no damage to furnishings or buildings.

There is parking for up to 2 cars at the cottage. As the cottage is semi-detached we would appreciate your consideration for our neighbours parking.

Families are particularly welcome at the cottage. As parents ourselves we appreciate that it is often the little things that can make a difference to a holiday. With this in mind we have provided the second bedroom with its own TV and video – ideal for putting the children to bed early. There is also an extensive range of books, games, toys and videos suitable for children of all ages.

Younger members of the family can also benefit from their own play area complete with traditional wooden playhouse and junior size patio furniture and chairs.

HOUSEHOLD LINEN

Bedding is included in hire of the cottage and when you arrive the beds will be freshly made up. In the kitchen you will find two tea-towels and some dishclothes. Please note bathroom towels are not provided. Bedlinen for the travel cot is not provided and parents are advised to bring their child's own bedding for health and safety reasons.

We do not directly organize babysitting but can give you the names and contact telephone numbers for local babysitters. Why not book a babysitter and enjoy an evening dinner cruise on the Lough Erne?

The large living room has a warm and welcoming open fire which can burn household coal and logs.
Tranquillity Cottage also benefits from oil fired central heating which is operated via a meter. The meter accepts £1 only and £1 will give 4 hours of heating. The meter can be paused to save the remaining credit if you decide to go out or if the cottage is warm enough.

The cottage does not have a BT telephone line but gets good mobile telephone reception.

Dogs are welcome but only by prior arrangement. This will be on condition that it has its own bedding, not left unattended in the cottage at any time. This is especially important as the cottage is beside Riversdale Forest when farm and other animals are often present.

Large or potentially aggressive breeds are not allowed. Owners are also politely asked to ensure they do not foul the grounds of the cottage.

Enniskillen town centre is 5 miles away and features a host of local craft shops with unusual gifts and souvenirs. Ballinmallard village is 3 miles away. Driving from the Enniskillen town centre out to the cottage is a garage (beside Cathcart Machinery at fork in road). This is a good place to pick up coal etc and offers a well-stocked service shop.

The cottage has a bundle of leaflets advertising the extensive variety of things to do in and around the area as well as hill walking and touring. These include angling, horse riding, sailing, boats trips and of course eating out. The local Tourist Information centre will be able to supplement these with further up to date details.

Their telephone number is (028) 6632 3110.

While we all hope we will never need a doctor on holiday we can never be to sure, particularly with holidaying with children! Enniskillen has its own 24 hour Accident & Emergency Hospital.

For your convenience there is a map detailing directions to the hospital from the cottage, in the visitors guide.
A health center is located in the same grounds as the hospital.
