Lough Erne Resort Taps Into The Science Of Smell With Its Scent-sational Autumn Offerings
Guests of Lough Erne Resort are to be given the chance to reminisce on personal memories of Autumns past thanks to the launch of the 5-star resort’s newly launched food, beverage, and spa offerings that all tap into familiar autumnal elements.
Also known as the Proustian Experience, the phenomenon describes the evoking of a sudden and involuntary memory from a specific smell, taste, or texture. Interestingly, smell operates differently to the other senses, working directly on the part of the brain than deals with long-term memories, behaviour, and emotions.
Recognising Autumn as a season abundant with recognisable scents and aromas, Lough Erne Resort has introduced several stimulating seasonal elements to its food, beverage, and spa offerings in a bid to encourage guests to experience their own Proustian moment.
Guests will now be able to indulge their senses, especially their sense of smell, at the 5-star resort through a new Autumn Equinox Wellness Escape package, a new Autumn Afternoon Tea Menu and the new Autumn Menu at The Catalina Restaurant.
Autumn Afternoon Tea
Lough Erne Resort’s new seasonal Afternoon Tea is aimed at awakening its guest’s senses through emotion-stimulating flavours, aromas, and arrangements. Served on charming Belleek Pottery China, the Afternoon Tea presentation will see autumnal shades of orange, yellow and brown visible across a variety of the treats, including the red velvet chocolate cake, maple orange bonbon, apple and raisin scones, and rum and banoffee mousse.
The delights also feature traditional seasonal flavours and aromas, in items such as the carrot and vanilla cake which features a warming sensation through the cinnamon and ginger spice infusion.
From 21st September 2020, both residents and non-residents can enjoy this autumn indulgence daily from 1pm to 3.30pm for £25pp. For bookings and enquiries phone +44(0)28 6632 3230 or email info@lougherneresort.com.
Autumn Equinox Wellness Escape
The Autumn equinox, which this year will occur on 22nd September, is one of the two days a year when the sun shines directly on the Equator, presenting an almost equal balance between light and darkness. Many have recognised the equinox as an important period for personal wellness and mindfulness, as well as a perfect opportunity to rebalance, restore, and refocus your inner self.
Lough Erne Resort is inviting guests to experience an Autumn Equinox Wellness Escape with a series of stimulating sensory experiences. From £205pps, guests can discover their own personal balance with an overnight stay in a stunning lakeview room, a rejuvenating yoga class and a seasonal dining experience in The Catalina Restaurant.
The Equinox package will also include a seasonally curated spa experience, aimed at reawakening and rebalancing the body and mind. The treatment will begin with a welcome foot ritual, followed by a Hot ESPA Positivity Oil experience that focuses on spiritual positivity and muscle rejuvenation. To help guests fully savour the Autumnal atmosphere, the experience will conclude with an invigorating Pumpkin Enzyme Facial, perfect for removing dead skin cells and revealing a healthy glow.
Visitors availing of the package can also experience the great outdoors around the resort via the Collop Walk and swim in the infinity pool to complete their wellness journey.

Autumn menu at The Catalina Restaurant
Executive Head Chef, Noel McMeel and his culinary team are proud to introduce Lough Erne Resort’s new autumn menus in The 3 AA Rosette Catalina Restaurant which is one of only five restaurants in Ireland that hold its acclaim.
