Sheen Falls Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The grounds are incredibly beautiful. Its right on the water with beautiful falls flowing through the property. The hotel is well maintained. There is a free shuttle to Kenmare which is only a few min away. The town of Kenmare was so quaint with great restaurants and pubs. We ate at the Stables Restaurant at the hotel one night which was excellent. We went to town for dinner the 2nd night which was also an excellent experience. We used the tennis courts and spa. You can easily get to the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula and Killarney National Park from this hotel. I like that this hotel was in a quaint town rather than staying in the busier town of Kilarney. The staff is so helpful and nice. We staying in multiple hotels as we travelled around Ireland and this was our favorite one of the entire trip."

"All delightful - especially the staff However the breakfast and dinner were disappointing. The breakfast buffet was poor - and the à la carte was limited . Considering the location surprising that there no fish on offer -2 varieties of irish breakfast? Why no local produce ? The dinner was mediocre and overpriced. It's such a shame as the rest of the hotel was excellent ."

"Very clean room and helpful staff. Small room and bathroom with not enough room to place our large suitcase or bathroom potions. We did choose a cozy room at an economical price but our friends also commented on their cruise-sized bathroom. Another shelf for toiletries would’ve been helpful and a suitcase stand instead of a chair. Lobby and bar area are lovely and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again."
