The Watson family owns Killyhevlin Lakeside Hotel and Lodges in Enniskillen. The hotel reaches 50 years under their ownership in April. They bought the property in 1976.

The site operates as a 4-star facility. It includes 71 bedrooms and suites plus 32 lake view lodges and studios. Function facilities and a health club with spa are available.

Plans call for a new lakeside lounge next winter. Refurbishments target the foyer, bar and lounges.

Ownership shifts to the third generation. Leigh Watson left the director role but stays on the Executive Management Team. General Manager David Morrison leads that team.

Jacqueline Wright, formerly Watson, joins the board. Her daughters Nicola Varvari and Gillian Gray also take board positions.

The family thanked customers, staff and suppliers for five decades of support. They aim to grow the hotel further.
