Cavan Library has a little detail about the similar photo: "When the Great Northern Railway Service arrived in Belturbet in 1885, excursions were run from Dublin to Belturbet, passengers then boarded the S.S. Belturbet for a pleasure trip on Lough Erne. The boat, owned by J.G.V. Porter, was licenced to carry 174 passengers. Following Mr. Porter's death in 1903, the SS Belturbet was retired from service. In 1914, at the start of World War One, the steel hull was melted down for the war effort. " So this is between 1885 and 1903.

The house is named after Florence Bourchier Wrey, the wife of Sir John Cole, who built the first incarnation of the mansion in the 1720s.

I once made a snowman there. I drove to Enniskillen to see some snow (we'd none in Dublin) and stopped at this hotel to look at the lake. While I was there, I built a snowman as well. As per Niall's streetview, it seems to have melted.

Referenced previously here:

"When it became clear that [a proposed steamboat passenger service] could not compete with the railway, [John Grey Vesey] Porter switched to tourism. In 1873, he opened a hotel and pier at Knockninny, a renowned beauty spot on the upper lake just north of Derrylin (fig 2.15). He redeployed the Knockninny and, from 1880, the Belturbet to ferry passengers from Enniskillen and for excursions on the Upper Lough. These services ceased with his death in 1903 and both vessels were scrapped during the first world war."
