Two hotels in NI were given the ‘Best of the Best’ title this year
A Northern Irish hotel has been named in the top three across the UK at the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2026.
Each year, TripAdvisor highlights the highest-rated hotels worldwide, based on reviews from TripAdvisor reviewers over a 12-month period.
The Travellers’ Choice ‘Best of the Best’ title is awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community.
Winners are determined by the quality and quantity of TripAdvisor reviews and ratings from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, and Belmore Court & Motel in Co Fermanagh has landed in the top 10.
Ranking third across the entire UK, it is joined by Belfast’s Tara Lodge on the UK’s Top 25 Hotels for 2026 list, making it the only two hotels from Northern Ireland to be recognised this year.
Both Belmore Court Enniskillen and Tara Lodge are among the fewer than 1% of TripAdvisor’s 8 million listings to achieve this milestone.
This is what TripAdvisor had to say:
3. Belmore Court & Motel, Enniskillen
At Belmore Court & Motel, you’re right in the heart of Enniskillen, perfect for exploring the lakes and Fermanagh’s sights.

There isn’t a restaurant, but the breakfast spread is solid, and the service is great.
