Killyhevlin Lakeside Hotel & Lodges were ‘leaping with joy’ to be featured on RTE’s Today Show on Thursday 29th February presented by Dáithí Ó Sé alongside Maura Derrane. Killyhevlin’s luxury Lodges ‘starred’ on Ireland's most watched Daytime show which brings an entertaining mix of Ireland's best lifestyle experts, leading chefs, latest entertainment news and travel inspiration.
Thomas previously experienced our Lakeside Lodges enjoying the ‘pawfect’ short break with his beloved dog Vipp. Together they explored the historic Enniskillen, Ireland’s only island town, enjoying a dog friendly walk at nearby National Trust treasure Castle Coole. The ultimate duo also discovered a whole new angle on The Fermanagh Lakelands to inspire and enjoy, by taking to the waterways captaining their own ‘wee red boat’ from Erne Boat Hire exploring Enniskillen.
