Some History Dating back to the early 19th Century, Knockninny Country House & Marina was Lough Erne’s original hotel. Founded by John Grey Vesey Porter; then owner of Belleisle Estate, he named it “Tourist Hotel Knockninny”.This hotel and the Upper Lake soon became a playground for the middle classes and local Landlords like Porter himself. The pursuit of sports such as shooting, fishing and sailing along with general good old jolly’s took place frequently where the hotel was used as a base.
Unfortunately, there was no heir to Porter's estate and the hotels heyday ended with his death. Becoming home to various families throughout the 20th Century the hotel also became derelict for a period of time. In 2004, Marshall and Gail Clarke purchased the property and embarked on a series of renovations and rejuvenation. In January 2007, we took the final plunge of a complete renovation and extension, deciding upon Restaurant, Bar, Guest Rooms and an exclusive wedding venue. Today Knockninny Country House & Marina is a 4 Star rated Country Gouesthouse.
