Grounds and accommodation are great, but we asked if the had vegan and vegetarian options on the menu before we booked, they confirmed that had the option on the menu. When we arrived in the restaurant for the meal, the menu had no vegetarian or vegan options, we were advised to have the vegetable side dish, a small piece of cauliflower and a few tiny baby potatoes. Very disappointing after paying so much money

Beautiful grounds, comfortable & stylish room. Food offering well below average - bar lunch was so disappointing . We commented this to 2 members of staff - nothing was taken off our bill. So we cancelled our dinner plans to eat in the hotel that evening. Breakfast is served in a very dull basement area. The scones /muffins were all stale. The mixed fruit bowl was empty - no one offered to fill it. Overcooked bacon served on stale muffins. Staff were friendly but disinterested - seemed like they were all on a training programme. When I checked out, I wasn’t even asked if I had enjoyed my stay - just cash or card ?? I might have been at a supermarket checkout rather than a high end hotel.

We stayed here for one night to celebrate my Birthday and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The food and service was of an extremely high standard, especially Victor, who was so friendly and attentive during our meal. The room we stayed in was beautiful and they left a little gift in the room for my birthday which was so thoughtful. The pillows and bedding were amazing! The grounds around the hotel were stunning. We had such an amazing stay, I would definitely recommend 10/10

It's not easy planning a driving tour of Ireland for 14, when you know a good location, a great meal and secure parking is required. The Liss Ard Estate was a great find and from our welcome on arrival to that on our departure we were made to feel most welcome. We all had excellent rooms in the main house and had plenty of time to wander around the large estate before getting ready for dinner. Lovely large lounges to relax in with an honesty bar and then a great dinner with very good wines. Oh and another great Full Irish the next morning!

We stayed here for our anniversary. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. T food and service were delivered to a high standard by what I believe is a new management team. Loved the outdoor sauna and the views.. we work in the industry and appreciated the great hospitality. The receptionist was very friendly upon arrival.

We stayed for one night in Liss Ard and had such a wonderful time. We were so well looked after. I particularly liked how we felt like we were only two of very few guests as the estate is so vast, makes you feel part of something special. I had a pregnancy massage and it was one of the best massages i had ever had. My husband used the Sauna which on arrival wasn't ready for him, however the staff took this off our bill which we thought was a really generous gesture. The food was incredible, so seasonal and delicious. The staff were all superb. I will be recommending Liss Ard Estate to everyone, and look forward to returning some day.

I know the situation for hospitality maybe difficult for some establishments at the moment and having stayed here before, I'm disappointed to say; standards and the level of service have fallen off a cliff. The hotel is clean and the grounds are lovely, and in a beautiful setting, but the food offering has changed tremendously, and having food items missing on a small menu is not an option at this standard and price level. However, the main issue is personnel and management; there seems to be discoordination and an absence of professionalism across the board. The price does not match the experience. To have changed in such a short amount of time, does not bode well, for what should be a hidden gem.
