Grand estate with bay views, spa, fine dining, and activities
"Located in County Kerry, this property is presented as a place where reconnecting with heritage becomes part of the stay, thanks to genealogy consultant Rachel Foley of Ancestors from Ireland, who helps guests explore where their ancestors came from so they can understand their place in Ireland’s story." - CNT Editors
"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.

"Sheen Falls Lodge is a luxurious retreat situated on a 300-acre property that was originally a 17th-century fishing and hunting lodge. Nestled between Kenmare Bay and the Sheen River in County Kerry, Ireland, it offers stunning natural scenery, unique accommodations, and a range of activities including falconry, fishing, and spa treatments." - Karla Pope
"Sheen Falls Lodge is a grand, 300-acre estate in Kenmare Bay on the Wild Atlantic Way. Days here can be spent paddle boarding on the bay and going on guided ‘Hawk Walks’ around the sprawling estate."
"A seventeenth-century former marquis’s fishing lodge, this 300-acre estate often visited by wandering deer has "first-class service." Expect "very pretty views over the Sheen Falls" through the floor-to-ceiling windows from many vantage points. Rooms are decorated in hues of peaches and cream. "The design is Irish manor home with traditional furnishings of a very high quality." The Fall restaurant offers modern Irish cuisine and The Stables restaurant Brasserie, located in the former stables, offers an eclectic all-day menu."
