In this video review of Lusty Beg Island Resort, creator Stuart Robinson lays out his take on this secret island hotel of Northern Island.

Lusty Beg Island: An Island Getaway on an Island in Northen Ireland

Ever wanted a private island escape without leaving the country? Stuart's heading deep into the Fermanagh lakelands to Lusty Beg Island — a resort on its own island, off Boa Island, on the shores of Lower Lough Erne.

In this video:

• The five-minute ferry crossing (car or on foot) to get there
• A full room tour of our courtyard room — plus an honest look at the parts showing their age
• The lakeside spa, tranquil pool, and heated barrel hot tubs (with pricing)
• A walk around the island's 75 acres — cabins, chalets, lakeside lodges, water sports, and even a thatched Irish bar
• Dinner at the lodge restaurant, live music, and our honest food review
• Breakfast, checkout, and our final verdict — plus the full price breakdown for the stay

Is Lusty Beg for you? If you want total disconnection, nature, water sports, and a laid-back retreat vibe, yes. If you need constant entertainment and mod cons, maybe not.
