Like the previous reviewers, I stayed at the Sheen Falls Lodge last weekend - but I seem to have enjoyed the experience far more! While we only stayed one night, it felt like much longer and we left on Sunday totally relaxed. From the moment we arrived, the reception and service we got from all staff was amazing. Friendly, but... more

This is one of the few stone circles in this part of the country that is exceptionally easy to get to. Parking is available in the main square of Kenmare. From there the Stone Circle is only a short walk down the road that adjoins the Tourist Information Office. There is a site access fee of 2 Euro - when... more

We spent two nights at the Oakfield and enjoyed the location, the facilitities, and the proprietors very much. We stayed with Aer Lingus ‘package’ vouchers, so price was not a concern. We would definitely recommend the Oakfield. It is located about 3 or 4 miles outside of Kenmare (about a 10 minute drive) in a very quiet area. Our room... more

We staying two nights at sheen falls last weekend and for a 5 star hotel we were not very impressed. The location is excellent, and most of the staff were brilliant but the hotel is very dated. The rooms are large but the décor is very drab and the king size bed we booked (and they rang to confirm two... more

Our three courses were perfect. From warm shaved duck salad to black sole to creme brulee, a real treat for all the senses. The service was very friendly and with the lighting and decor so well balanced it was pure pleasure. We felt as though we could drive the four hours it would take to get home and it would... more

Quiet, clean, good value and friendly. For the price it is very hard to find fault with this place. more

We were in the lime tree last week on a blustery cold evening. It was really lovely. The menu was good and the staff were efficient and friendly. My husband had the mussels starter and I had the black pudding filo parcel. Both were very tasty. The mussels had been cleaned properly and checked over well, there were no closed... more

We're just back from a stay at Sheen Falls, and I don't think we'd be in a rush to return. Firstly, the good bits... The rooms are large, the location is stunning, the staff are extrememly well trained. The not so good... The beds. Surely one of the most important things in a hotel. Our bed was two singles pushed... more

This area was beautiful unfortunately this hotel and our stay tarnished our view of the area. I was part of a coach tour and had two nights at this site and couldn't wait to leave. Service was non-existent and staff was surly. Food was a set menu (including breakfast) which left no options for food allergies and restriction or quantity... more

Having walked the old Kenmare road from Killarney (days trek, worth doing) we arrived at the Park, via short pub stop! The hotel is ideally located in the town, yet looks out over the estuary in its magnificant grounds and so peaceful and quiet. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble, extremely friendly staff, from managers to... more

The Shelburne Lodge was by far our favorite place we stayed in Ireland! (And we also stayed at Dromoland Castle, among others, so we had a good taste of lots of places). Tom and Maura are charming and kind, our room was sweet and airy with a big, comfy bed and a great shower. We loved the decor - whitewashed... more

This and near neighbours Mulcahys are enough to make Kenmare worth a visit by themselves. We had not booked but were made to feel most welcome The Scallops I had were stunning and so satisfying that I didn't want a dessert ! I will rectify this next time.... more

This is an excellent place to eat. Food beautifully prepared with a light touch and with excellent polite service. A memorable experience. more

We are quick to hand out 5 stars for good hotels. To such an extent that truly spectacular hotels are merely rated as "very good". Sheen Falls is a 6 star hotel and probably the best my wife & I have ever been to. It starts with the relaxed unforced service from the staff. They set one at ease, happy... more

We had a wonderful dinner here. The freshest scallops and mussels I've ever tasted. The decor is sort of quirky/homey and was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was fresh, prepared with a light, skillful hand and and exquisitely presented. more

We were completely comfortable in this lovely hotel. The staff were charming and attentive. The room was roomy and handsome with a deep bathtub for two. One night we went into town to eat, but the other night we were exhausted and had a light dinner in the restaurant and it was very good. Breakfast was good too. So many... more

Kenmare is a great town in a lovely part of County Kerry. There are probably some lovely accommodation options in the area. I would not put this at the top of my list, despite the fact it gets a very good recommendation from lonely planet. While the location of this property has the potential to be lovely and it is... more

Just back from a stay in the Park. From the moment we landed ,until the time we sadly departed ,we had the experience of a lifetime. Every staff member was helpful and well trained. Food was excellent, the rooms individually furnished an oozing character. The spa was wonderful, with autumn colours as a backdrop to the heated outdoor spa pool.... more

We spent 3 nights at the PHK. We had an awesome room looking directly over the herb garden and horse field, with a continuing view of the river and mountains. Our room had a nice sized bathroom (shower a bit tight but worked well), nice sized sleeping area, and very spacious (sunken) living room area with couch and two sitting... more
