Lissan House with Hazel Dolling

We would like welcome you to Lissan House an enchanting country house run exclusively by volunteers, 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.

At the centre of the community in Mid Ulster for nearly 400 years, Lissan is one of the most historically significant and stunningly beautiful landed estates in Ireland. Seat of the Staples Baronets of Lissan and Faughanvale from 1628, the Estate and its historic collections were gifted to the community to be held in trust for the benefit of all by the last of the Staples of Lissan, Hazel Dolling, in 2006.
We invite you to come and explore our website and Lissan House, and it's many connections such as CS Lewis, Robert Ponsonby Staples and their ansesctors.
