163-acre estate


Georgian-style county manor
farm-to-table cuisine
land art by James Turrell

Nestled on the southern coast of West Cork, Liss Ard Estate epitomizes the enchantment of the Irish countryside on a vast domain covered with cypresses and century-old cedars. This elegant Georgian-style manor offers bright guest rooms furnished in a modern country style and divided between three buildings, each with its unique character. Its restaurant, Garden at Liss Ard Estate, features in-season produce from the garden and meat and fish supplied by local producers, for a farm-to-table culinary experience. During your stay, you can go kayaking and paddleboarding on the private lake, enjoy an outdoor yoga class, or treat yourself to a relaxing massage. On the grounds, take the time to enjoy a nearly metaphysical experience, contemplating the sky from the Sky Garden, a giant earth-and-stone crater lined with emerald grass, the work of renowned artist James Turrell. The property is also an excellent starting point for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland’s most iconic coastline.
