Florence Court
County
Fermanagh
Short description
Florence Court is romantically named after the wife of Sir John Cole who first built a house on the spectacular site in the early 18th century. The present Palladian style house was probably built by his son John, afterwards the 1st Lord Mount Florence.
Description
Florence Court is one of the great houses of Ireland. This beautiful eighteenth century mansion and demesne was created for the Cole family, Earls of Enniskillen. The interior contains exquisite rococo plasterwork, and fine furniture, and the atmospheric basement offers a rich insight into the servants world of 'upstairs downstairs'.
Oustide, the mansion is enhanced by gardens and parkland, and the surrounding hills and forests of west Fermanagh offer the visitor a place to relax and explore in peaceful natural surroundings and enjoy the clean Irish air. Enjoy home style cooking with freshly prepared lunches and afternoon teas in the Stables Tearoom, browse the gift shop, and perhaps stay at the restored Rose Cottage in the pretty walled garden. Florence Court is cared for by the National Trust, Northern Ireland's leading conservation charity.
