Estate of the Art: Liss Ard Estate is a special place with plenty of unique experiences 

The 19th Century estate is on point with so many of its offerings there were very few tweaks

Liss Ard Estate.

The last time I’d visited Liss Ard Estate, it was under a slightly less boujee guise: camping. A decade ago, during the West Cork property’s previous incarnation as a festival venue, I’d rocked out to Patti Smith and Cork band Fred before retiring to an adjacent field — and my pop-up tent — for the night. But this week, following Liss Ard’s recent purchase and renovation, I was returning to the Skibbereen estate and Ireland’s Blue Book retreat to experience what I would hope would be the ultimate upgrade.
