Sheen Falls Lodge

I really like this hotel. However the fact that we paid in advance put us in a position of not being able to limit our stay to only 2 days and had to stay the 4 days or pay for the entire time and lose our money. I know I had the option of canceling up to a few days before, however when driving around Ireland, and seeing how long it takes to visit places, we wanted to see was limited because we needed to return to our hotel every night or lose the money.I do think that paying ahead is probably something I will not do again even if it saved me money. I do think that saying we could walk into town was not an option. We also arrived in to Kenmare on Aug 15 (which was the biggest fair in all of Ireland) what a nightmare driving thru town took us about 90 minutes, cars parked everywhere. I really liked the Hotel but I wish I could have only stayed 2 days instead of 4.I really did not realize how long it takes to travel in Ireland to see sights, So this really added to our frustration of being limited to one part of Ireland wishing we could have seen more. I really had hoped if we could just stay two nights that we would be let out of our 4 day stay but alas it did not happen.

Pros: It was in a beautiful setting and the room was very big and the bathroom was wonderful especially the shower. The staff were unfailingly polite and helpful.It was very quite and the breakfast were outstanding. The bar was very dark and cozy.

Cons: The only problem is trying to find it. It was not in town like I thought it might be. Good thing we had a GPS in the car.
