Loved it here. Everyone was delightful. Could not recommend the Sky Garden Walk and experience more- it should be mandatory! Paul was the perfect guide on this walk. He understands how nature is in line with life and explains the artist’s intentions with Sky Garden’s breathtaking view.

Highly recommended - A west Cork Gem
We had a fantastic stay @ Liss Ard. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had every thing we needed and more. We spent a day at the private lake with our 7 yr old son, fishing, paddle boards, swimming in the refreshing water after the lake side sauna. The food and service was excellent from breakfast to dinner ! We loved the walks in the estate and the amazing sky garden. A real gem in west cork…
