"Set just outside Kenmare with illuminated pathways and a fairy-tale feel, this waterside lodge offers suites with French doors overlooking the cascading falls and Kenmare Bay; rooms feel cozy enough to nap by the fire while listening to the murmur of the river. The property sits near the Ring of Kerry and provides attentive concierge service (including drives into town to avoid parking hassles), winding walking trails, an indoor pool and Jacuzzi, and on-site activities such as falconry — where guests meet creatures like Archie, an African spotted eagle-owl, and Erin, a Harris’s hawk." - Peter Terzian Peter Terzian Peter Terzian is the features editor of Travel + Leisure, where he has been on staff since 2017.
