Fodor's Review:

The magnificence of this bright-yellow, slate-roofed stone manor is matched only by its setting: 300 secluded acres of lawns, gardens, and forest between Kenmare Bay and the falls of the River Sheen. The public salons are painted in warm, terra-cotta tones, and the mahogany-panel library has more than 1,000 books, mainly on Ireland. Guest rooms—all modern-traditional, in bright yellows and tranquil beiges—have bay or river views. Fising and clay pigeon shooting are available in the grounds. You can hire one of the hotel's vintage cars, which include a Bentley and a Rolls, for picnics, trips into town, and other excursions. The Cascade Restaurant is renowned for fine dining. Pros: fun and informal for the price range; good sports facilities. Cons: modern, newly built; driving distance (2 km [1 mi]) from the village.
