The House features original paintings from The Lissadell Art Collection.The floors and staircase are hand limed oak and each room boasts hand picked Farrow and Ball heritage paint or William Morris wallpaper.


Every door has specially commissioned Art Deco Celtic design stained glass windows and restored sash windows with oak shutters are framed by William Morris handmade drapes. Rooms feature individually sourced Art Deco fireplaces. The house and its furnishings have been specially designed to make the most of the spectacular Ocean and Garden views from each window.

Utterly Private, on the shores of Lissadell Beach, with unmatched views of Ben Bulben and the Wild Atlantic Way.
