The Killyhevlin Hotel in Fermanagh marks 50 years under Watson family ownership since its purchase in 1976. The property operates as a four-star venue with 71 bedrooms and suites plus 32 lake-view lodges and studios. It includes function and conference spaces along with a health club and spa.

Leigh Watson steps down as director to support handover to the third generation. She joins the executive management team under general manager David Morrison.

Jacqueline Wright, formerly Watson, stays on the board with her daughters Nicola Varvari and Gillian Gray. Nicola contributes operations experience from years at the hotel. Gillian adds skills in accounting.

Developments mark the anniversary with a new lakeside lounge set for next winter. Refurbishments target the foyer, bar and lounges over the coming year.
