Lissan is an enchanting country house set at the heart of a 267 acre demesne and nestling in a prime location in the valley of the Lissan Water. The estate lies just 1.5 miles north of Cookstown at the foot of the Sperrin Mountains in County Tyrone.

Lissan has been famous for its idyllic beauty and hospitality for centuries. Thanks to the determination and ingenuity of Hazel Marion Radclyffe Dolling, this is still true today.


House Tours
The story of Lissan House and those who resided here is brought to shimmering life through the work of our famously enthusiastic guiding team. We tell the story of how the Staples family came to set up home here and how their fortunes faired through good times and bad. You will be introduced to key players in a fascinating story which ranges over 400 years and find out about some of the larger than life characters who called this place home.

Afternoon Teas
Lissan has always been famous for its lavish hospitality and this tradition is kept alive in our Dining Room where sumptuous afternoon teas are served. Delectable home-baked cakes, treats and freshly cut sandwiches are served on fine china with linen tablecloths and napkins. All of this is accompanied by a selection of the finest teas and coffees commissioned exclusively for Lissan from S.D. Bell’s of Belfast served in silver.

Estate & Great Outdoors
Developing the woodland and riverside paths and expanding the amenities on the estate is an ongoing task for Lissan House Trust.

In addition to our Lissan calendar of activities we can offer facilities for a wide range of activities; private, corporate, community & charity events.
