The Estate, cradled between the Caha Mountains and the Kenmare Bay, hosts a multitude of historic tales.

An immense array of activities and interests, invigorating or relaxing, are at your disposal to ensure your visit to the Lodge leaves you with pleasant and fulfilled memories of your stay.

Sheen Falls Estate, once the home of the Marquis of Lansdowne , is fortunate to be situated in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The luxury of having a 300 acre estate where deer and wildlife roam freely is unparalleled. Guests can enjoy not only the cascading waterfalls and the changing landscapes of the Bay as the tide turns but also the view of the magnificent McGuillicuddy Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland looming in the distant sky.

When you are looking to tour South West of Ireland then the Villas and Cottages on the estate provides you with the epitome of luxury in a holiday home. Whether you are seeking sanctuary or gathering with friends and family, our selection of Villas and Cottages have their own unique charm and character enhancing your holiday experience.

Your location is on the edge of both the world famous Ring of Kerry and the lesser known Beara Peninsula. The Ring of Kerry is renowned for its stunning scenery and lush green and blue landscapes and skies. The drive to the seaside town of Waterville and on to Cahirciveen and Killorglin and back the winding road alongside the Lakes of Killarney to Moll's Gap is truly a glorious trip, which must be experienced to be believed. The Beara Peninsula is more of a best kept secret; its narrow roads ensure that only the true explorers will find its barren, rugged beauty and charm. The tiny, colourful villages of Allihies and Eyeries sit on the edge of a cliff facing the Atlantic, where the next land mass is America.

Closer to home is the bustling town of Kenmare where you will find lots of exciting bars and restaurants. For the golfer the location lets you play over 15 courses in the vicinity, two in Kenmare itself, there are a host of bike rides and walking routes and with such towns as Killarney only a short drive away your only problem will be deciding what to do next.
