Sustainability

Liss Ard Estate went through renovations that have been requiring deep thinking about sustainable solutions to deliver well performing energy environment. Its privileged location in the heart of West Cork, where nature sets the pace and its well preserved biodiversity on the 163 acres with large mature trees planted in the early 20th century makes it a protected area.

The second owner of the Estate, John and Mary-Ellen Connolly developed a walled garden, growing edibles, vegetables and flowers who have been preserved as the Chef’s garden for our restaurant. We have also a locavore approach and use only local producers.

Guided tours of our Estate are possible with our expert in Biodiversity Paul Carlos, our horticulturist, all along the year.

As an eco-friendly hotel, we will keep you posted of all our initiatives.

5 stars for food, hospitality and comfort!

We had a beautiful stay here in Lissard Estate. The staff were all so accommodating and friendly and did everything they could to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The food was also incredible - everything was so fresh and sourced locally. Lots of lovely nature walks available too. Not to mention, the rooms were gorgeous - so comfortable, warm and had everything we needed! We will 100% be back to stay here again. Absolutely loved it (as did our dog!)

Secret escape

When we arrived we were greeted with a lovley glass of Prosecco. Our room was newly refurbished, clean and the bed was comfy. Our room also had a great coffee machine ! We dined in the restaurant and I must say it was the best culinary experience we have had in a while. Despite the bad weather we got to walk the beautiful grounds and came back to a lovely warm fire in the library.

We will be returning!
