It is a four star 70-bedroom hotel, with restaurant, spa, swimming pool and health club, on the shores of Lough Erne, surrounded by private grounds and gardens. The hotel was originally owned by Raymond B McCartney who was also the entrepreneur who began the Lough Erne Hotel, Kesh and the Belmore Court & Motel, Enniskillen.

Background

History

Over 250 people were evacuated from the hotel, but the explosion injured 17 people, including members of a wedding party, and destroyed much of the recently refurbished hotel. Over 1,000 lbs of homemade explosives had been packed in a vehicle and left at the hotel. The front of the Killyhevlin Hotel collapsed, scores of parked cars were burned and a 12-foot-wide bomb crater was left near the front door.
