A place where you can unwind and relax in your own calm, quiet room. Gaze out at Kenmare Bay, shimmering at high tide and drawing birdlife as the water ebbs out to sea. Or choose from the room’s selection of books, handpicked by our librarian, and settle down beside the window to read in the light of the setting sun. Each of our Classic Rooms is decorated with colours, textures and patterns inspired by the serenity of the surrounding countryside. And at 419 square feet (38 square metres), there’s generous space for a couple to stay here comfortably, or a small family of two adults and one child.

Sip a coffee and contemplate the view from one of the plush armchairs by the window; our Deluxe Rooms overlook the waterfall, where the River Sheen runs under the old stone bridge and tumbles down towards the bay. If you’re lucky you might glimpse a heron, or the rare sight of salmon leaping upstream. The room’s colour scheme takes its cues from the landscape outside, while the furniture, fabrics and furnishings are made by local craftsmen and carefully selected by our interior designers. Our Deluxe Rooms are on average 440 square feet (41 square metres), so whether you’re a couple looking for some time alone or a small family of three, you’ll have plenty of space to unwind.

Spacious, relaxed and luxurious. Our Superior Rooms are similar to our Deluxe Rooms, but with extra space and better views of the waterfall. After a day of wandering the countryside, take some time to slow down. Perhaps settle into an easy chair and watch the water cascade beneath the bridge, or flick on the bedside lamp and curl up under the covers with a book from the room’s collection. We’ve decorated each of our rooms with pieces handmade by local artisans, from the art adorning the walls to the sumptuous seating and exquisite curtains. Our Superior Rooms are on average 505 square feet (47 square metres) and can sleep two adults with an optional extra bed for a child.

Relax in an open-plan room, with plenty of space for a family or couple planning a longer stay. On average, our Estate Rooms are 660 square feet (61 square metres). From the sitting area, ponder the changing landscape as the bay ebbs and flows, bringing seals at high tide and birdlife at low. Or sink into the soft, sumptuous couch as evening draws in and watch a film from our extensive collection. With two beds set stylishly into a wall-mounted wardrobe, our Estate Bay View Rooms can sleep two adults and up to three children, yet remain a spacious area to spend time with family, plan the day’s activities, or relax after exploring the beauty of Kenmare.

Natural light pours in through the wide windows, where you can pick a volume from the bookshelf, settle into the sofa and lose yourself between the pages. The open-plan seating area has plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy. Outside, the stone bridge spans the River Sheen, where herons ply the water as it purls around the rocks. Carefully designed interiors bring the outside in, reflecting the colours and ambience of the hotel’s natural surroundings: the heather in the gardens, the murmuring river and the oak and beech trees that envelop the estate. With extra beds available for families, and an average room size of 660 square feet (61 square metres), our Estate Falls View Rooms can accommodate up to two adults and three children, or a couple for a luxurious longer stay.

Wonderful for a romantic escape, where you can truly tune out of the wider world and find peace and quiet in one another’s company. Our Bay View Suites feature an en-suite bedroom and separate drawing room, with an entrance hall adjoining the two and comprises of 800 square feet/75 square metres of space. Both rooms overlook the beauty of Kenmare Bay, with interiors influenced by the fauna and features of the natural landscape. Sit back with a book in a sumptuous armchair, or spread out on the sofa and watch a film from our collection. If, inspired by the landscape, you wish to put pen to paper, every one of our rooms and suites has a writing desk, and all our furniture is made by skilled local craftsmen.

A wonderful suite where you’ll feel at home, whether you’re a couple looking for time alone or you’re on a family holiday. Watch the river from the window of the master bedroom, and when the sun sets let the burbling water soothe you to sleep. The sitting room also overlooks the waterfall through tall, wide windows. And the décor echoes the beauty outside, from the velvety moss blanketing the river stones, to the warm wood tones and floral flourishes. Up to three children can sleep comfortably in the sitting room and two adults in the bedroom, (from 800 square feet/74-93 square metres). You can also interconnect each of the suites with a Superior Deluxe Room, hosting up to four adults and three children or two adults and five children.

Swing open the French doors from the lounge area and step out onto your own private terrace.

Roll through the private gate, down the meandering drive, to your own tucked-away cottage.

An acre of private garden encircles the cottage, filled with flowering shrubs.

The kitchen is truly memorable, with a bright bay window and an eye-level fire filling the room with a flickering glow. Beside the kitchen, the sun lounge opens out onto your terrace, with a rolling lawn leading down to the edge of the bay. Up the spiral staircase are your two bedrooms with marble en-suites.
