We were in Ireland for a family wedding and stayed at Liss Ard for four nights. If you want to get away from it all, but at the same time be thoroughly spoiled, this is the place for you. Comfortable rooms, fabulous food and the friendliest, most helpful staff imaginable. Nothing was too much trouble for Kate and the rest... More

Having spent one night in Kinsale, a trip down to this serene woodland was just the ticket. Taking a whole afternoon to explore the quirky but wonderful gardens, it was so nice to be able to return to such a comfortable House and room. The staff themselves were both friendly and helpful. The House itself is impeccably kept and decorated... More

We stayed at on Liss Ard Estate in the Country House a week ago with our 2 children. The children were enthralled from start to finish! Once we were settled into our bedroom we set off to discover the grounds! There is so much to see, 50 acre lake, nature trails, petit beach, mature trees, unusual plants and that is... More

What a wonderful New Years break we and our three children spent at Liss Ard! From the wonderful food to the beautiful bedrooms, Arthur and the team certainly offered us a memorable experience. As parents to three small children aged 6, 4 and 11 months, having a morning Kids Club was a welcome offering! They loved it, as did Mum... More

Just spent a wonderful two nights at the estate in the Garden Mews. Enjoyed walks throuh the Estate gadens down to the lake and the Lake House. Oue room was very clean and the under floor heating in the bathroom kept you toasty warm in the cool mornings. If you're tired of the city noises outside your window in Dublin... More

Beautifully kept period house where you're really made to feel at home. We had the run of the house with loads rooms & areas for relaxing with plenty of comfy sofas, armchairs & window seats. The use of the kitchen for storing & heating jr.'s meals and the kids' playroom are nice touches. We only got to see a fraction... More

Superking luxurious bed. Beautiful soft furnishings in the room and throughout the house. Arthur and his team were brilliant, food was all locally sourced and homemade oat cookies hot from the...

We went down not really knowing anything about the place. The decor is superb, and the rooms were beautiful. The dinner is in the dining room, at the only table with whatever other guests have booked in for diner, if this is not your thing then I've no doubt you could ask to have diner in the living room by...
