A very overdue review but it was great to be allowed to travel again and to be back at Sheen Falls! The staff were professional, helpful and welcoming as always! Breakfast and dinner in The Falls Restaurant were top notch as usual. First time experiencing The Stables Brasserie - fantastic! It was great to see familiar faces - Tim, Jer and Sean (nice job on the banisters!). So looking forward to my return visit next month.

Our 3rd year in a row visiting this hotel and it was top class as always. We stayed in Little Hay Cottage which is ideal and you have all the space of a house and yet all the facilities of a hotel. From start to finish, staff, food, facilities all excellent. Particular mention to Scott and Nicolas for looking after us so well. We are already looking forward to returning next year.

My wife and I visited the quaint town of Kenmare and did the Ring of Kerry while staying at Sheen Falls. We had a gorgeous room (number 209) with a balcony overlooking the falls. It was a 10 minute walk to town and a great location.

A fabulous, large room overlooking the falls and river made for a fantastic and relaxing view in this converted private hunting lodge. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the staff is very polite, personable and efficient. A lovely bar area that is both inside and out on a patio by the falls. After a hectic three days in Dublin, this was the perfect spot to unwind and relax. Yes, it’s a four hour drive from Dublin but worth it, and that’s why I wish we could’ve stayed for another night or two. Expensive but worth every penny. Great food as well.

Fantastic location, food excellent, customer service 100%,great shuttle service to and from kenmare. There was a wedding on and this can kind of take over the place as bar and breakfast were overrun. Only bad bits were, we asked for extra portion of potato scallop during meal and were charged €5. A bit ridiculous when customer is spending €€€ on a meal. Starter portion also poor in size [picture enclosed] but the worst was been asked for 10 cent yes cent when settling a two night stay which cost close on a 1k bill.

Felt relaxed the moment we drove into the courtyard. A delightful classic hotel with a stunning location next the river. Outside drinks at the bar, dinner overlooking the falls, an extremely large bedroom with a view of the river as well - there isn't anything else you could want. The food was first class both at dinner and at breakfast. Employees all were also at the top of their game. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic three night stay at Sheen Falls Spa and Resort near Kenmare, County Kerry. Although my wife is a Cork girl, Kenmare town has always held a special place in her heart. The town is lovely with all the services desired and it's located at the entrance to a well kept secret in southeast Ireland: The Beara Peninsula (far less crowded than the Ring of Kerry with beautiful small towns, vistas, beaches and highland pass roads too narrow for the large tourist buses). Our stay at Sheen Falls lodge was a lovely room with a close, direct view of the falls themselves. Quite a thrill enjoying a drink and enjoying the falls scene throughout the day and early evening. We were less than a stones throw from the beautiful resort pub and attentive bartenders. Thoroughly a great hotel, scene and fun time location. Besides the lovely and quite large room, we really enjoyed the resort Stables restaurant. Food and drink were fantastic and as tasty as anywhere we've traveled in Ireland. At the Stables restaurant (we considered it the best of the two restaurants offered at Sheen), we met Ms. Lizzie Barrington, Maitre 'd and lead waitress. What a pleasure to be attended to by her. She made us feel so comfortable and welcomed to the restaurant and pub. The dinner recommendations she gave us were spot on with the rack of lamb being delicious. Her sparkling personality and typical Irish good looks only added to the delightful experience. We enjoyed a quiet corner table and with Lizzie's help created a wonderful memory of our stay at Sheen Falls. We'll be sure to stay at Sheen Falls whenever we visit Kenmare and the beautiful Beara Peninsula again. Recommend others do as well and be sure to dine at the Stables and say 'hello' to Ms. Lizzie. …

I went for a getaway week end with a friend, and this hotel is definitely one of the best we went! The room was tidy up, with a gorgeous view over the falls! The dinner in the Falls Restaurant was amazing. Thibault, a French waiter, was a lovely person to chat with. Gregoire, a French sommelier gave us wonderful advices to chose our wine. Special mention to the manager of the restaurant, Jerome, who explained with passion the Irish cheese for the desert. Thank you the sheen falls team!

This property is absolutely gorgeous. The room is a little small but the grounds and the view from our room more than make up for it. The grounds are amazing with plenty of walks on the property. This was one of my favorite places we stayed. The flowers were amazing.
