When the first stones were laid down in the 1600's how could anyone have imagined that this magnificent lodge in Kenmare, county Kerry would become one of the most celebrated 5 Star hotels in Ireland. Once the summer residence of the Marquis of Lansdowne, in its day the Sheen Falls Lodge welcomed the gentry in their pursuit of deer hunting and salmon fishing. Thankfully today the deer roam the estate and surrounding woodlands freely, and visitors from all over the world can now enjoy the luxury accommodations of the lodge and the stunning beauty of its environs. The setting of 300 acres of magical woodlands and crystal cascading waterfalls, is truly unique to Sheen Falls Lodge. While the lodge remains close to the brightly coloured village of Kenmare, and is a very short journey to Killarney and it's world famous lakes. With its luxury accommodations, its reserves of ageing port, its rare books and sumptuous cuisine, the lodge retains the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a country manor house.
