Liss Ard Estate, a member of Ireland’s prestigious Blue Book, and a AA awarded 5 Star Georgian Country Manor.
Escape to 163 acres of pristine nature with manicured gardens, a 40 acre private lake and James Turrell’s renowned Irish Sky Garden. The Estate features 26 unique guest rooms in the heart of West Cork, the culinary capital of Ireland.
Our 26 guest rooms all include an ensuite and are located in the Manor, its adjacent Mews
and the Lake House. In 2021 – 2022 the Estate underwent an extensive renovation which
fully renovated all guest rooms and common areas.
James Turrell’s The Irish Sky Garden
For over half a century, the internationally renowned landscape artist James Turrell has worked directly with light and space to create artworks that engage viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception. New Yorker critic Calvin Tompkins writes, “His work is not about light, or a record of light; it is light — the physical presence of light made manifest in sensory form.”
