We are temporarily closed
Thank you to all our wonderful guests who stayed with us over the past two years. We will be busy conducting some more work on the house and reopening as a 'big house' rental in 2023. All gift vouchers for Bed & Breakfast will still be honoured. For enquiries on our country house rental offering, please contact us!
A WARM WELCOME AWAITS...
Lissanisky House bed and breakfast has everything you need for a relaxing break. Our spacious and sumptuous rooms will envelope you with comfort as you gaze out of the large windows onto the glorious Tipperary landscape.

The magnificent hand-carved rattan bed has the same standard of bedding as our other bedrooms, with its feather and down duvet and pillows, and Egyptian cotton bed linen on a super comfy King Koil mattress.

ABOUT LISSANISKY HOUSE
A house that captures the imagination...
Lissanisky House is a listed Irish Georgian country house just outside Nenagh in Tipperary, Ireland. Built in approx. 1770 on the site of the 12th century O’Meara castle, it boasts a pedimented breakfront, five bays and three storeys over the basement. It is also renowned for its glorious cobweb fanlight above the front door. It was once a huge estate, but this was carved up by the land commission and now retains 10 acres of the original grounds, including the Victorian walled garden. The trees planted in the walled garden are still producing the tastiest apples, pears, quinces, plums and hazelnuts. If you’re around at the right time, you’ll get to enjoy one of our scrumptious homemade apple and toffee puddings with fresh cream. Delicious!
The house itself is full of history, with some interesting previous owners, like Dr Barry O’Meara, Napoleon’s doctor in St Helena and author of the definitive book on Napoleon, ‘Napoleon in Exile’; The Hon Otway Fortescue Graham-Toler, son of the second Earl of Norbury and relation of John Toler, the infamous ‘hanging judge’ and R Smithwick who is believed to be of the Kilkenny brewing family. We also recently discovered that former owners, the Cleeve family, were related to a member of the Guinness brewing family via the matriarch Heath Otway Waller of Priory Park.
THE FUTURE
We fell in love with Lissanisky House and made it our joint life goal to ensure that it would be restored to its full potential and secure it for future generations. By staying with us in our bed and breakfast or celebrating your wedding here, you are helping to fund all future restoration work to the house and outbuildings, making a huge contribution to the preservation of such an important building.
