Breakfast is an enjoyable experience – with homemade breads, yogurt, muesli and fruit compote. Lunch and Dinner are vegetarian and always delicious – nourishing and sustaining your energy throughout the day.

Accommodation–

The bedrooms at Lisnavagh House are a joy to stay in. With large windows looking out onto the surrounding grounds, beds that you never want to get out of, and antiques mixed with curios and contemporary objets d’art, you will find it hard to tear yourself away. All the bedrooms are individually furnished to provide a modern level of comfort and though of a period style, have a wonderfully unpretentious and relaxed atmosphere.

These include the Colonel’s Room (‘The most magnificent bed in Ireland’ according to the Irish Times), the Oak Room with its deep copper bath, the Butterfly Room, the Yellow Room, the Night Nursery, Sasha’s Room and Day Nursery all with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

You won’t find televisions, radios, or minibars in the bedrooms. The unique and dramatically different bedrooms are tranquil and calm – ideal for sleeping well.
