Shelburne Lodge

Set well back from the road, in its own grounds and lovely gardens, the Foley family’s fine stone house on the edge of the town is the oldest private residence in Kenmare.
Rooms 10 (3 shower-only, 1 family, 1 ground floor); B&B €65-80pps, single €90-€100. Children welcome (under 2s free in parents' room, cot available without charge, babysitting arranged). Free broadband wi/fi. Garden, tennis. Own parking. No pets. Closed Dec-Easter. MasterCard, Visa. abbreviations

Set well back from the road, in its own grounds and lovely gardens, the Foley family’s fine stone house on the edge of the town is the oldest private residence in Kenmare.


Expressing the character of its owners perfectly, it has great style and attention to detail. Spacious day rooms include an elegant, comfortably furnished drawing room with plenty of seating, an inviting log fire and interesting books for guests to read - it is really lovely, and the feeling is of being a guest in a private country house.


Generous, well-proportioned guest rooms are individually decorated and extremely comfortable; everything (especially beds and bedding) is of the highest quality and, except for the more informal conversion at the back of the house, which is particularly suitable for families and has neat shower rooms, the excellent bathrooms all have full bath.


[Shelburne Lodge was our Guesthouse of the Year in 2005, and also winner of the Best Guesthouse Breakfast Award. Since the end of the 2021 season it has been offered as a private rental property only.]
