Sheen Falls Lodge

We were looking for peace, luxury and great service and got this and more at Sheen Falls. From the moment we arrived the staff were excellent, any request we had was immediately dealt with a smile. Our room, we had one of the smaller suites, was well equipped and had a lovely view which meant it was perfect to sit with a book and a coffee. The bathroom with separate bath and shower was spacious and came with Elemis products. We were very impressed with the food in the Falls restaurant, both for breakfast and dinner. The Stables was a nice alternative for a more casual meal. The spa is small but our treatments were excellent, we never felt rushed. The hotel location is good for exploring this part of Kerry. Even the temperamental Kerry weather didn't put us off the short walk into Kenmare each day. Even just sitting in the garden admiring the falls was a nice way to pass some time. Overall the hotel has an "old world" feel but in a modern building with modern facilities. All backed up with traditional hospitality. We would definitely return.

This hotel is a bit of heaven, my wife and I stayed there on valentines weekend. We were greeted by Sean a lovely man who took my car and put it on charge and brought my luggage to the room The room has to be the best I ever stayed in, the space is unbelievable. The bed was luxurious and the bathroom with its his and hers vanity units very special. The staff have to be the most attentive I have ever experienced, they couldn't do enough to make the stay special. We dined in the Stables Brasier and everything was perfect, food and service. The view out the window of room 253 was just breathtaking with the river flowing outside. There's no doubt but we'll be back again. I could praise this hotel all night.

We have traveled extensively and found Sheen Falls Lodge to be one of the most enjoyable experiences ever. The building and grounds are immaculate. Nature's beauty surrounds you whenever you step outside. The falls and other adjacent water features are unique and oh so soothing. As a birder, I was able to encounter many different species, including several water fowl species. They feature two outstanding restaurants, a world class bar, and other conveniences. Although you can have an amazing vacation and never leave the property, the Lodge is a very short drive away from Kenmare, a cozy and fun Irish town full of shopping, restaurants, and pubs. Sheen Falls is also a good headquarters to explore the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula.

The food for dinner was worst I’ve ever had. Complained to staff and reception and they just shrugged. Room was lovely but I would never again go back. Dinner was €98 per person and so very disappointing. If they even gave us the wine for free it would be great but to be ignored!

This is a genuine 5 star hotel . Gorgeous picturesque location , friendly efficient staff , wonderful service and then the restaurant, WOW ! We visited about 5 years ago , it was excellent then but they have managed to up the standard even higher .
