Sheen Falls Lodge

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We were absolutely delighted with our choice to stay at Sheen Falls Lodge. From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and valued. The hospitality was exceptional throughout our stay. Our room was outstanding, with a phenomenal view overlooking the water that made it difficult to leave. Waking up to such beautiful scenery was a highlight of our trip. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. We stayed for two nights before continuing our journey, and we only wished we could have stayed longer. Sheen Falls Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it and would gladly return on a future visit to Ireland.

Outstanding! An oasis just outside Kenmare (with free transport into town and back on request). Incredible grounds, enormous well appointed room with very comfortable bedding, extremely quiet. It is like staying in your own country manor house with fabulous staff. Food on site was also very very good, with breakfasts made to order. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Best hotel of our entire vacation.

Our stay at Villa Verde was 5 star plus. The cottage was exceptionally comfortable and spatious and was a real home from home. It is very tastefully furnished with atractive furniture and art works and excellent facilities throughout. The landscape surrounding the cottage is very well maintained and of course the views across the water to the surrounding mountains are superb. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous and very responsive to our requests. We experienced the warmest of welcomes which included a most generous 'welcome' hamper! We were a party of 5, however, the Villa comfortably accommodates 8 people. We certainly recommend this Villa for a very special experience.

We were quite disappointed. The grounds and the staff were great, but the place is tired and in need of a major renovation. We paid up for a large Estate Suite with a view. Our room was large but pretty empty. The decor was tired and outdated. The furniture worn. The bathroom fixtures were outdated and the shower small. The plumbing made noises at odd times gurgling. Breakfast was underwhelming and quite slow. We stay at lots of Relais & Chateaux properties and this was our first disappointment and the most expensive room of our whole trip. Also, we weren’t happy to see they had a horse tied up in a stall in the dark where it couldn’t lay down - not good welfare. I would not recommend it.

This was a wonderful experience. The breakfasts were outstanding, as was the dinner at The Falls restaurant. We did not have a great experience at The Stables restaurant, but our daughter had when she had been there previously. The horseback riding was a lot of fun, and Analiza in the spa provided a first class facial and hot stone massage.
