We relax and unwind in Lissadell House in the afternoon. Described as “austere in the extreme”, Lissadell House is a Greek Revival style detached nine-bay, two story over basement mansion, the last one in this style to be built in Ireland. Constructed of Ballysadare limestone with finely jointed ashlar walling. Lissadell House was the first country house in Ireland to have an independent gas supply piped into the property.

Later we return to the hotel for a short rest before dinner.
