THE American owners of the Lough Erne Resort have announced a multi-million-pound upgrade programme at the Co Fermanagh leisure destination.

The joint venture of Advantage Capital Holdings and TRU Hotels and Resorts bought the 600-acre resort near Enniskillen in 2015, launching an initial investment programme the following year.

The US owners said the latest investment will be the largest capital injection since the takeover, representing its long-term commitment to the luxury resort and its two golf courses.

It will begin with the creation of a new wedding pavilion in October.

The announcement comes just weeks after the PGA EuroPro Tour announced its finale will take place at the Lough Erne Resort from October 19-22 on the course designed by six-time major winner Nick Faldo.

The resort’s general manager Joanne Walsh said: “This investment will see the resort transformed.

“Our old-world interiors are set for a makeover that aligns with the beauty of our countryside setting and the pursuits which we offer on Lough Erne.”

Lough Erne Resort marketing director, Jonathan Gallagher added: “We are set to elevate the Lough Erne Resort brand and interiors in a way that connects the physical to the experiential.

“Our people and place will be revitalised to create a luxury destination that connects mind, body and soul in the countryside.”
