Had a wonderful stay in the Garden Mews - the hotel is beautiful, clean and the staff was extremely helpful. After a day out sightseeing, we came back to see what the options were for dinner. We arrived about 30 minutes before a large party was to be seated, but they allowed us to get cleaned up and return a... More

The Liss Ard Estate is massive and amazing with miles of trails and gardens. A scenic lake provides an amazing sense of calm. The house is a gorgeous Georgian manor house and the attached Mews has been converted to beautiful rooms with stylish decor. The real issue is that the estate is so big, and the hotel is so minor,...

While our stay was less than 24 hours, this was the highlight of our 9 days in Ireland. We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon and were promptly greeted by Melanie. She informed us that we were the only 2 guests in the estate that night, so we had the entire place to ourselves! After a quick tour of the house,... More

We arrived on a wind-swept, rainy evening in March to the warm fires and hospitality of Liss Ard House. The glow of the manor lights at the end of the drive and the personal welcome at the house of the manager, Melanie, on a stormy night elevated our spirits and we knew we were home. We were overdue on our... More

A beautiful hotel set on amazing grounds. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money, the dinner was great. A fantastic room to relax in front of an open fire and listen to music. You really can make it like home. A wonderful atmosphere in the hotel as staff are relaxed and professional.
