Overlooking Kenmare Bay, this 1897 Victorian mansion has every conceivable luxury: an indoor swimming pool, heavenly spa, tennis and croquet courts and even its own cinema. Antiques and original art fill its 46 rooms and suites, which have goose-down duvets and pillows. Those in the deluxe category face the water, while superior rooms and suites have balconies and patios.
Local produce is on the menu at its restaurant, which serves lunch, high tea and dinner (five-course menu €80). Adjoining rooms and cots are available for families, who are welcomed with open arms.
