We had a wonderful stay at Lisdonagh! Our family group of 23 rented out the entire property for a week and enjoyed every minute in the beautiful Irish countryside. The house has been restored with great care and attention to detail. Each room has its own unique charm furnished with antiques as well as modern comforts.

The owners Finola and John were so kind and made us feel very welcome. They wanted to make sure to allow our group privacy but were quick to help out whenever we had a question or need.

Although we cooked for ourselves for most of the week, we treated ourselves to two dinners prepared by the chef and only wish that we had done more! The dinners were delicious and were such a special treat allowing our group to simply enjoy our stay.

We would return in a heartbeat!

Would not stay at this property again. Very disappointed

We travel to Europe each year to conduct retreats for professional, executive couples. We rent castles or mansions that are considered 5 star properties. Lisdonagh Manor was truly exceptional in every way.

All the committments and pre-retreat arrangements were fulfilled and even better than we excpected. The owners personally worked with us on every aspect to make our stay at Lisdonagh a remarkable experience - even arranging for local entertainment that came to the house for our group.

The bedrooms were large and filled with antique furniture and art. The other rooms were beautiful - the living room worked very well for our retreat gatherings (8 - 9 couples). The grounds wers magnificent, and the group enjoyed personalized outdoor activities such as horse back riding and fishing.

The staff was most pleasant and always willing to serve. The house was always spotless and our rooms cleaned every day.

The meals were some of the highlights of our retreats. The staff prepared breakfast every day, and for dinners we experienced the creations of an exceptional live-in chef. We selected the menus and He and his staff prepared food that would be considered equal to a five star restaurant (at much less price), along with presentation of the food that blew us away.

We have done these retreats in many different countires with different houses/staffs. Lisdonagh is now ranked at the top. We would return in a heart beat - We cannot say enough about how wonderful this time was for our groups. It truly was exceptional.

We were in Ireland for the first time for a wedding and wanted a place to stay that gave us the true flavor of Ireland. And we definitely found it. The grounds were great, especially with the kids. Reminded me of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Tree-lined country road into the cottages and manor house. The accomodations had everything we needed, jacuzzi, full kitchen, gas fireplace, rustic country feel. And the service was outstanding. Whatever we needed we got; wine, food, forgotten household items, etc. We felt like we were dealing with friends not a commercial enterprise. Our kids got pony rides and went to school for a couple of days and had a great time. We would definitely return. Would like to try it without the kids. Could be very romantic as well.
