Lissadell on the Sea
Lissadell Estate
Co. Sligo
Lissadell on the Sea is the beautifully renovated historic Stewards House on The Lissadell Estate. This is perhaps the most enchanting setting you can experience on the Atlantic Sea Shore. When you walk out the front door, you step straight out onto the golden sands of Lissadell Beach, with the Atlantic waves splashing at your feet.

Lissadell on the Sea has been extensively restored to capture all the drama and beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way, yet elegantly designed and furnished to an extremely high standard with all modern conveniences to ensure your comfort. The house and furnishings have been specially designed to make the most of the spectacular Ocean frontage and views.
Art Deco Celtic Design stained glass windows in every door allow natural light to illuminate the entire house and all windows are picture windows except the magnificent porthole from the SS Laurentic on the second floor. The windows, which were specially commissioned from Breffini Heritage in Leitrim, are made of mahogany, specifically treated to withstand Atlantic gales. Each window is a picture window, which allows for spectacular views from every room. You will feel you are living in an oil painting. The rooms are furnished with an abundance of Irish Art from the Lissadell Collection including paintings by David Overend, Douglas Alexander, Wycliffe Egginton and Bingham Mc Guinness.
The plinth in front of the house, with its adjoining lawn, stretches over 140 ft. There are five seating areas surrounding the house, with views across Drumcliffe Bay to Knocknarea, burial place of the legendary Queen Medb of Connaught, famous warrior Queen, and to Rosses Point and Strandhill.
Our visitors have pedestrian access to all the grounds across the Estate, including the Alpine Gardens.
Lissadell on the Sea was the most heavenly accommodation! Our home from home for five glorious days! We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The location was perfect. The house was extremely comfortable and the views from every window like a painting within themselves. It was a joy to walk on the beach every day as it was literally on the front door. The sound of the ocean was so soothing. The Lissadell Estate was so luxurious to walk and explore. We were made to feel most welcome. A holiday doesn’t get any better than this!
There are no words that could possibly do justice to the beauty that is Lissadell on the Sea. Having stayed in this magnificent cottage, no other holiday rental will ever be able to compare to the feeling of waking up to the sights and smells, and the noises that are unmistakably and lovingly Yeats. The restoration work that has been carried out on the cottage is second to none. Attention to detail is obviously paramount, while not compromising the integrity that is the original building. For years, I would walk by the sad dilapidated shell that the cottage was, and dream of a day that some lucky soul would bring back it’s former glory. That day came, and then some.
