Weekend break: The Sheen Falls Lodge, Kenmare

Is a relaxing holiday really possible when you’re travelling with four kids? Yes, says Vickie Maye after a weekend in Kenmare.

My two-year-old couldn’t contain her excitement. “Waterfall, waterfall,” she cried, clamouring over chairs to get a closer look at the rushing water. We were just as blown away. Every window in our family suite overlooked it, even in the bathroom.

Better still, you could hear the water too, no matter where you were. And there is no sound more relaxing or more grounding.
