Signature Suite

The signature suites at the five star Sheen Falls Lodge are exceptional, they are rooms of which we at the hotel are particularly proud. They offer a unique experience in a stunning setting.

There are some suites which are particularly special, guests who have stayed there before request them time and again. Each has a truly unique feature which ensures its status as a signature suite of Sheen Falls Lodge.

The suites are set apart as extraordinary in some special way. It may be an unusual layout and size, or a particularly breathtaking view, perhaps it is something more, a feeling at a deeper, more subliminal level that impresses the location upon you and leaves you feeling totally rejuvenated. As we are especially proud of each of these four outstanding rooms, we have simply named them our signature suites.

Falls Master Suite

The Presidential Suite is truly exceptional. It is the epitome of comfort with 1,350 square feet (125 square metres) of carefully designed space. Architecturally it is stunning. The octagonal shaped drawing room with it's twenty foot high ceiling leading up to an oculis is a unique space to be enjoyed.

Large windows cover half the wall space in the room looking out on panoramic views including Kenmare Bay in the distance, the Sheen river flowing over the cascading waterfalls and the old 16th century stone bridge. A white limestone fireplace burns wood cut from the coppicing of the surrounding woodlands, its colour contrasting with the dark Jatoba wood floor.

The private bar area is stylishly incorporated into the room, the perfect location to entertain or to enjoy the elegant grandeur of the room as you sip a cocktail and listen to gentle music on the Bang & Olufsen surround system.

The large bedroom window flows out onto an impressive balcony, which overlooks a pond beside the private stone gated entrance. In the distance the horses laze in the meadow. A separate entrance allows for ease of access and private parking. The 'Scarlet Wonder' Rhododendron leads you on a path through the gardens, perfectly at home with the other semi tropical trees and plants that play host to the surrounding landscape.

The suite is meticulously furnished with the finest of silk fabrics and the style of furniture offers a contemporary feel that echoes the art deco period and the 1940's.
