Fly to Cork. Upon arrival, pick up your rental car at the airport and check in to your hotel located just ten minutes from the picturesque town of Kenmare, one of the Irish locals' favorites. The 5* Relais & Châteaux Sheen Falls Lodge is ideally set in nature, between rivers and red sandstone mountains. The property is renowned for its piano-jazz ambiance, collection of aged Irish whiskies, and its unique way of preparing salmon caught in the nearby rivers. The views of Kenmare Bay, the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks mountains, and the Sheen waterfalls are incomparable. Don’t forget the exceptional Irish hospitality and Celtic legends, which add even more magic to the place.
Dinner at the hotel included, and overnight in a Deluxe Superior room with breakfast.
