    Honestly everything was exceptional, the welcome we received, the lovely staff, the gorgeous estate house which felt like it was ours for the weekend, the grounds, sauna, Sky Garden and of course the comfy beds. We left feeling so relaxed and are still floating on air. The blue skies and sunshine helped too!

    Stunning grounds with a beautiful Manor House and scenic surroundings. We stayed in the lake house which had lovely views of the grounds and lake. Staff were really attentive and welcoming, which thoroughly added to the experience with their friendliness. Dinner in the garden restaurant was excellent! All drinks were lovely in the bar and the ambience of the house was really warm, they also turned on the rugby match and were very obliging. Overall 10/10, will be returning!

    I am pleased to express that my stay was thoroughly enjoyable, devoid of any negative aspects, with welcoming surroundings, attentive staff, comfortable accommodations, and commendable amenities, making it a highly recommended experience.

    An absolutely breathtaking locale, the driveway alone sets the tone for an exceptional experience. The space is nothing short of fabulous, with my personal highlight being the cocktail bar and dining room—both exuding grandeur through their simple yet elegant decor. Immaculately clean, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, creating a welcoming retreat. The staff, exemplifying superlative hospitality, were not only helpful but also exceptionally kind. Additionally, Irene, the lady who works there, is absolutely amazing and incredibly welcoming. Her presence added an extra touch of warmth to an already outstanding stay.

    The Location and grounds of the hotel are really outstanding with a lovely walk down to the lake. They also accommodate less mobile guests by providing `golf carts` for easy access to the grounds. Very friendly and helpful staff. We also found the food to be excellent, The rooms very comfortable, clean and well maintained. We had a very relaxing stay.

    The staff were more than welcoming, the bedroom was a good size, perfectly clean and everything felt like it was of the highest standard. Mary, on the reception desk was the perfect host- welcoming, kind, and well organized. She went out of her way to make us feel at home and made sure we didn't feel out of place with our 11month old. The food was the best food we've had in a long long time and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be returning to liss ard estate, without a doubt.

    The room that breakfast was served in seems a little too sterile and cafeteria like. I much preferred our dinner dining experience. Much cozier and more intimate. And for all the skeptics, yes there are fish in the lake. The picture is of a Northern Pike caught during our 2 day stay.

    Liss Ard Estate is much more than a hotel. It is an experience. The grounds are so beautiful, the manor house is sublime elegance. The food divine. The sky garden is incredible. The staff were lovely, some with a hint of Basil Faulty! The sauna and lake combo were great. I just loved it.
