Sheen Falls Lodge

One of Ireland's most celebrated 5 star hotels, the Sheen Falls is a classically appointed country lodge, magnificently set by the cascading waters of the falls just outside the colourful village of Kenmare in County Kerry.

Once the summer residence and hunting lodge of the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Sheen Falls is a haven of restful luxury. Its location is simply stunning set within private grounds with a backdrop of the mighty Cara Mountains and overlooking the Sheen Falls and the waters of Kenmare River.

An atmosphere of soothing serenity permeates the Sheen Falls Lodge. Harmonious colours, sumptuous sofas and the warmth of a roaring log fire greet you in reception, while throughout resident's lounges cosy comforts conspire to create an experience of relaxed luxury.

Each of the hotel's 66 well appointed guest rooms are exquisitely set with light and airy colours, tasteful modern furnishings and an abundance of space. While marble bathrooms, generously proportioned beds, close attention to detail, all add to the relaxing luxuries. Sheen Falls also has a fabulous selection of suites for something a little more special and for something a little more private there is Little Hay Cottage and Garden Cottage, delightful thatched independent accommodation hidden away within the grounds, with full access to all hotel facilities.

Fine dining at the Sheen Falls is afforded with the award winning restaurant, "La Cascade", overlooking the floodlit falls. La Cascade oozes Elegance and refinement, from the soft strokes of the pianist and the candle lit tables to the up standing service and widely acclaimed wonderful food and fine wine. While informal dining is also offered in Oscar's Bistro.

Sheen Falls also boasts a state of the art health spa, offering a huge range of treatments and therapies using exclusive Yon-ka products and includes a stylish pool, sauna and Jakuzzi as well as extensive gym facilities. Sheen Falls also offers an extensive range of activities all within its 300-acre estate, from horse-riding, fishing by the falls, cycling, walking, tennis and crocket. The hotel also organises activities for children and has its own play area, while for golfers the Ring of Kerry Championship course is nearby.
