Nestled in the picturesque County Kerry, Sheen Falls Lodge has long been a sanctuary of luxury and tranquility. This summer, the five-star property is celebrating a significant milestone: its 30th anniversary as a proud member of Relais & Chateaux. To commemorate this occasion, Sheen Falls Lodge is unveiling a range of new offerings and experiences designed to delight guests of all ages, ensuring a memorable stay that blends comfort, adventure, and indulgence.
30 Years of Excellence
In honor of its 30th anniversary, Sheen Falls Lodge has compiled a curated list of the “Top 30 Things to Do in Kenmare.” This comprehensive guide highlights the very best experiences the area has to offer, providing guests with a diverse array of activities that showcase the natural beauty and rich culture of County Kerry. From a thrilling night-time kayaking tour to a serene horse-drawn carriage ride through the countryside, there is something for everyone.
A Summer of Adventure
The 300-acre estate of Sheen Falls Lodge transforms into a playground of adventure during the summer months. Traditional estate activities such as falconry, horseback riding, fishing, archery, clay pigeon shooting, and golfing continue to enchant visitors. This year, however, guests can also test their mettle with the new axe-throwing offering. For golf enthusiasts, the Ring of Kerry Golf Club provides a challenging course set against a backdrop of breathtaking views. The Lodge’s Tee Time Package makes it easy for guests to enjoy a round of golf, with a two-night stay, transfers to and from the golf course, a full Irish breakfast, and dinner in the Stables Brasserie included.
Culinary Delights
A stay at Sheen Falls Lodge is as much about savoring the flavors of Ireland as it is about enjoying its stunning landscapes. This summer, the culinary team has outdone itself with a brand-new Afternoon Tea menu. Guests can indulge in a three-tiered selection of sandwiches crafted from locally sourced ingredients, such as smoked salmon with red onion, capers, and horseradish on homemade Guinness brown bread. Freshly baked scones and an assortment of homemade pastries round out this delightful experience.
Recognizing that younger guests deserve special treatment too, Sheen Falls Lodge has introduced a Junior Afternoon Tea Menu. This kid-friendly offering features traditional sandwiches like smoked Gubbeen cheese, a nutella and banana sandwich, fresh scones and brownies, and a strawberry milkshake, all for €25 per person. It’s a perfect way for families to enjoy a quintessentially Irish tradition together.
Exclusive Summer Package
