Lissanoure Castle, Loughguile, Co. Antrim

A closer look

A place with character.

Lissanoure sits beside Lough Guile near the Glens of Antrim. The estate never holds two events on the same day, so the Coach House, the Castle Barn and the courtyard between them are yours.

The 18th century Coach House has three reception rooms with open fires and a dining room that seats up to 100. Larger weddings move to the Castle Barn for dinner and dancing. Both buildings have fitted kitchens for your caterer and a licensed bar.
