Sheen Falls Lodge

What We Think

This is far from a stodgy countryside B&B with dishwater tea. The 85 rooms here are luxuriously appointed, with Danish linens, open fireplaces and views over Sheen Falls or Kenmare Bay, though activities on the 300-acre estate (falconry, trout fishing, kayaking and clay pigeon shooting) mean you’re almost never there. If you’re sore post-horseback ride, there’s nothing more soothing than the spa’s basalt lava stone massage and a spell under the warm indoor waterfalls.

What It Is

A hotel that feels like a dream Emerald Isle estate.

What It Isn't

Modernist. If you're not a fan of concrete and glass, Ireland probably isn’t your best destination anyway.

You're Here Because

Love eating locavore? Try Home-avore. They catch the salmon you love so much on-property, and smoke it in-house.

The Moment

You craved a bit of craic, and you found it in the buzzing cocktail bar—along with an impressive 800-label wine list.

Restaurants & Bars
