Welcome to ‘Lissadell on the Sea’, the beautifully renovated historic Steward’s House on The Lissadell Estate,

Ballinfull, County Sligo, Ireland, on the Wild Atlantic way.

Prepare to be entranced.

This is perhaps the most enchanting setting you can experience on the Atlantic Sea Shore.

When you walk out the front door of the property, you step straight out onto the golden sands of Lissadell Beach, with the most spectacular ocean views against the dramatic backdrop of Knocknarea and Ben Bulben.

‘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.

All windows are picture windows except the magnificent porthole from the SS Laurentic on the second floor.

Art Deco Celtic Design stained glass windows in every door allow natural light to illuminate the entire house.

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, all of which are available for whatever mood suits you:

seclusion by the sea to write your memoirs, compose poetry, gather your thoughts, or simply relax.

You have views across Drumcliffe Bay to Knocknarea, burial place of the legendary Queen Medb of Connaught, famous warrior Queen, and to Rosses Point and Strand Hill.

Our visitors have pedestrian access to all the grounds across the Estate, including the Alpine Gardens.

The views from every single room in ‘Lissadell on the Sea’ are spectacular.

A grass slope leads up to a woodland setting behind and to the West of the house, and will take you to the old lookout Tower from which the Gamekeeper in Lissadell maintained a watch over the rabbits bred in the Burrows, which were a valuable part of the Estate in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

Behind ‘Lissadell on the Sea’ is the historic Agent’s House, now in the course of restoration.

A special viewing area measuring over 1,000 sq ft has been constructed to the rear of the house providing an elevated view of sea and mountains on all sides.

Raised Breakfast Patio overlooking Drumcliff Bay and adjacent to the Secret Garden.

There is a delightful sunspot, created from specially selected Kilkenny flamed limestone flags.

Kilkenny Limestone is a tradition at Lissadell, as the floors in the Mansion House entrance Hall, and the imperial Staircase, are constructed from Kilkenny Marble  (polished limestone).

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 like you are living in an Oil painting.

In pride of place in the Kitchen/ Dining Room is the beautiful Lacanche Range, ordered for the house from Burgundy in France.

The Kitchen is equipped with Smeg and Miele domestic appliances and elegant pottery from Portmerion in Wales. Directly outside is a beautiful Kilkenny limestone flagged Breakfast Patio.

The Living Room fronts the Atlantic, and boasts an ornate mahogany fireplace for cosy evenings reading by the fire. The adjoining Study, with its fine Victorian fireplace, as well as LG 55 in Smart TV, can be converted to extra accommodation.

The main Bathroom, painted a Stiffkey Blue, has a massive Victorian roll top bath, state of the art rain shower, and heated mirror.

The second Bathroom, upstairs, is also painted a Stiffkey blue, also has a state of the art rain shower and heated mirror. There are two double bedrooms upstairs, with Victorian fireplaces and fitted wardrobes.

Welcome to the beautifully restored Garden House on The Lissadell Estate, Sligo, Ireland.

Platinum Luxury Vacations on The Wild Atlantic Way
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Located adjacent to the walled Victorian Kitchen Garden created for the Gore Booth family as a vegetable, herb and fruit garden in the 1840s,

The Garden House at Lissadell was built by Sir Robert Gore-Booth in the 1860s for the use of the head gardener to the Lissadell Estate.

When Edward Walsh and Constance Cassidy acquired Lissadell, it was Eddie who discovered this sleeping gem under acres of undergrowth: the Garden House slumbered, like the secret garden which surrounds the House, for at least five decades, until released from enchantment by Eddie, almost singlehandedly as to the surrounding gardens and sun terrace.

The Garden House is one of the oldest houses on the Lissadell Estate and was the home and headquarters of the Head Gardener, who superintended a huge amount of work and employees needed to service an estate of 32,000 acres and a home farm in excess of 4,000 acres, and the requirements of the Gore- Booth family who lived in Lissadell House.

What we have sought to achieve is the decoration of this house in the Victorian style, but also paying homage to the later Bloomsbury Group era, as many of this set were friends contemporaries of Countess Markievicz, formerly Constance Gore-Booth.

The decorations include light fittings by Tiffany: Louis Comfort Tiffany founded the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in 1885.  Tiffany drew inspiration from ancient roman glass when creating coloured glass designs without the use of paint or enamel.  Many of the most popular Tiffany lamp designs resemble trees, with the detailed bronze bases, stands and shades representing the roots, trunks and canopy.  Many of the shades also feature a regularly shaped or scalloped edging to further resemble things like flower petals, insect wings and other natural forms.

Eddie and Constance also pay homage to the particular situation of the Garden House adjacent to the Victorian Kitchen Garden created by Sir Robert Gore-Booth in the 1840s and also to the newly created garden, planted by Eddie, in the old secession beds, which also functioned as the base of the ancient glass houses.

Tiffany lighting was designed, manufactured, and became popular before and during the Bloomsbury Group Era when Constance Markievicz mixed and mingled with artists, poets and other luminaries in the early 1900s, when studying art at the Slade.  The Bloomsbury set included writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists such as Virginia Woolf, William Morris, Rennie Mackintosh, Æ, Althea Gyles, Oscar Wilde, Dante Rossetti, E.M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Clive Bell, John Maynard Keynes, Leonard Woolf, Stephen Tomlin, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant amongst others.

ACCOMMODATION:

The magnificent Master Bedroom

has views over the old secession houses, and the new garden created within those beds, which adjoin the Victorian walled garden.

The Two further Douuble Bedrooms enjoy fabulous views towards Drumcliff Bay.

TheOpen Plan  Kitchen / Dining room

is a lovely large airy space: in pride of place is the Lacanche premium-range stove, a must for all serious cooks.

The Luxurious Study and  Living room have open fireplaces,

which create the perfect relaxed atmosphere.

The house is in a beautiful setting and surrounded with separate lawn areas, a 3,000 sq.ft. sun terrace which is a veritable suntrap, and highlighted by the Donegal gravel quartz drives.

The wallpapers and blinds/curtain material that you will see are from designs by William Morris (1834 – 1896) who had a profound influence on interior decoration throughout the Victorian period.

The paintings in the Garden House are from the Lissadell Art collection assembled by Edward Walsh, including paintings by Dante Rossetti, Seán McSweeney, T.P. Flanagan, Mark O’Neill and David Overend.

The entire of the house, both exterior and interior, is painted in colours from the Farrow and Ball Heritage range.

The magnificent Celtic knot stain glass windows were designed by Enda Clarke of Gecko Glass in Rathcormac, Co Sligo, and inspired by Leonard Cohan, the great singer -songwriter who played at Lissadell in 2010.

Eddie, Constance and Constance Elisabeth Jnr have been involved in every detail of the design for this beautifully restored comfortable house. Eddie singlehandedly created the marvellous new rose garden and beautiful flower beds all surrounding the house

Private access to the Lissadell Strand is a short walk through the Estate.

We hope you enjoy your holiday at the Garden House at Lissadell as much as we have enjoyed restoring this very special place for you, our guests, to enjoy.
