Beautiful grounds, stunning location Friendly staff Quality and execution of dinner was fabulous Pets allowed in lake house rooms Irish sky garden was amazing, very zen. So different
Stayed in the lake house, communal areas in lake house not upto standard / music system not working. No honesty bar / soft drinks. Sink in communal toilet area was oily & dirty, felt grubby. Breakfast service was understaffed, breakfast food was under welcoming, nothing special Could do more to make the hotel more pet friendly. Water spots, pets allowed in bar area. Breakfast on designated area with pets Didn’t like walking through the very sloppy and dimly lit wood late at night to get from the Manor House to the lake house. Hotel should proactively offer a lift to the room in golf buggy. We got lost! Probably the glass of wine didn’t help! Pathways are very natural, but someone is going to trip, stumble and injure themselves

A lovely, smart hotel in a most beautiful location. We loved walking the extensive grounds, full of bluebells and birdsong with lots of secret spots unfolding, visiting the Irish Sky Garden and kayaking on the lake. The service was excellent, everything one could want in the bathroom and supplies constantly replenished by friendly staff. We only had one breakfast but that was excellent. Overall felt very spoilt.
It was lovely to be brought fresh milk whenever requested, however, it would be nice if it was in the room ready for whenever one felt like a tea or coffee. The outside seating area was a nice little bonus, but it was not secluded.

The staff couldn't do enough for us. They were very helpful throughout our stay. We ate at the restaurant for our lunch and dinner and it was absolutely fantastic. The menu, flavours, and presentation were just perfect. The chef and his team really hit the right note. We did not expect it at all, which made it all the more enjoyable. The grounds and the setting is so relaxing. We strolled around all weekend and the weather topped it off. There is lots of paths to explore. We booked the sauna on the day we left and it was great. Such a relaxing setting.
Breakfast was a little expensive for what you got. Some complementary tea /coffee and bread or fruit would be nice

Gorgeous, bright and well appointed period property! Lots of character! The staff were amazing and the food was absolutely exceptional! We stayed in the lake house which is lovely and quiet with views to the lake. A real gorgeous retreat! I will caveat that in the dead of winter you need to drive from the lake house to the main house for dinner as the path isn’t lit between the two. A suggested improvement would be to either light the path or offer a shuttle service to guests staying in the lake house to collect them and bring them for dinner to the main house. Having said that if you stay in the main house that would not be an issue and honestly the property itself is stunning, the grounds are beautiful, there are lovely walks and James Turrell’s Sky garden is well worth a visit! Our over-all experience we had was delightful! Definitely would love to come back and stay for longer than 1 night!

Breakfast choice excellent. Location fantastic for visiting nearby relatives
You need to be fairly fit to stay at the Lake Hhouse as parking is away from property and is quite a climb up from car park . No safe. No kettle for tea drinkers and had to ask for milk which went off quickly . Thought there would be a few more luxuries for a high end hotel.

The estate was beautiful and the grounds around it. Very relaxing but a lot of uphill, although there are trails here and there to take you back to the manor house. We stayed at Lake House, this building was a bit far by foot if you have to walk in the dark but signs were wellplaced. The tiny gym was okay overlooking the lake, very relaxing view even while "running". Everything is locally produced or bought from nearby farms so very fresh produce. The staff were amazing, answering all my questions and never a problem with dietary issues from my side (being lactose intolerant). One of the waitresses from dinner even ran out to the garden to get fresh mint for me when my tummy was upset. Rooms were big in size and bathroom was huge with a big shower and bathtub, spotless at arrival.
The breakfast was just a few items that you have to order every morning and not much variety. The dinner menu changes every week but if you are staying that one week then it's just the few to choose from (food was magnificent in flavor though). The rooms are not sound proof unfortunately, could hear everything outside and if movement at night, I can hear conversations in the rooms next to ours. Skibbereen town was very cute, worth a look BUT when drivning to the estate, don't do the same mistake as us and take the small roads - The GPS map will show "L" something, just try and stay on the bigger road N71.

The room was very comfortable with a bath and separate shower. We stayed in the lake house which was a lovely short drive from the manor house. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed playing board games and listening to vinyls while having some cocktails. Very helpful staff gave us a lift back to the lake house on a golf cart which was great fun 😄😄
The path from the lake house to the Manor House wasn't lit all the way but that may have been due to the storm the night before.

The location is incredible. The lake, the grounds, the amazing old trees and beautiful shrubs are just so peaceful. Our room in the Lake House was great. The bed was very comfortable, lovely shower, lots of filtered water provided. Our favourite part was the sauna. For €40 we had our own private sauna for 90 minutes, located right on the lake so you can go in and out for a cooling swim and then sit in the heat looking out at the idyllic lake. Breakfast was good and staff were helpful, professional and friendly. We will definitely be back.
There was nothing to dislike.

The Lake House where I stayed is separate from the Manor. It is located close to the lake amongst trees and a little river. Parking is not allowed at the Lake House. There is a car park lower down but you can drop your luggage off and park later. Within the Lake House guests have access to a wonderful sitting room and a board games room! These rooms are beautifully decorated. There is also a full kitchen, but I don't know if that is for guests. I collected fresh milk there and extra nespresso pods. My room was very spacious and again tastefully decorated. The King Bed was extremely comfortable and fitted with Egyptian Cotton. A couch in the room was a wonderful edition. The TV is "in disguise " as a painting. I found a remote control beside my bed and that is how I realised the painting was a TV ! The bathroom was very opulent, fitted with brass or gold effect fittings. The shower was 100% The grounds are absolutely stunning. I spent hours with my camera strolling around. The Sky Garden should not be missed. All Staff from reception to the student from France learning English and working on the grounds, are exceptional.

Loved Liss Ard. It is a beautiful property & the night garden is a must on a clear night. We were greeted upon arrival by a lovely lady & presented with a glass of Charmant!
The bar was closed when we returned at 9.30 from the local town & we had to ring the hotel phone to get a drink. Basically it seemed like someone had to get out of bed to attend to us. Considering it’s a hotel, we thought that strange.
