Cannot thank the staff at Liss Ard enough for a magical few days. We used the spectacular grounds of the estate as a backdrop of our engagement and they certainly didn't disappoint! From start to finish the staff were wonderful and helped our stay feel extremely special. Special thanks to Mary who was so kind and accommodating for the special moment. We've had a fantastic time in the beautiful peaceful location and will forever have fond memories thanks to the team at Liss Ard!

The site of an ancient ring fort, Liss Ard is a former estate where history abounds. At Liss Ard, there are beautiful trails and walking paths, a fine small spa and gym, birding (the great purple heron has been spotted) , boating, and the Irish Sky Garden. Few art experiences are more magical than “gardening the sky” at night at the Irish Sky Garden.

The location is beautiful, generally the staff were friendly. The restaurant menu is eclectic and overpriced. The experience does not make the price point

Very Poor. Food dreadful. Chicken overcooked. Fish under cooked. Vegetarian option so poor my wife would not eat it. General manager did appologise. Would not recommend this establishment until food quality improves.

What an exceptional stay we have just had at Lisa Ard. Excellent staff, wonderful food, beautiful grounds with James Turrell’s Sky Garden right on the door step. The property itself is magical with incredible views and walks, wild swimming, orchards and wild flower meadows. It was very difficult to leave!

Rainy and dreary night I was passing Liss Ard and dropped in for tea. I sat in the lounge area waiting for someone to take my order,one would expect that service for a house hotel of it's calibre. Gave my order at the bar!. While I waited I noticed all the dust under lounge seats and behind any floor furnishings . My tea arrived and not even a biscuit! Liss Ard Estate lacks certain standards.
