Myself and my friend called today for lunch - we are not from Dungannon so we didn’t know where was good. We couldn’t have picked a nicer place. The staff were so friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back if we’re ever in Dungannon again.

We visited The Argory after it was the first Northern Ireland property to reopened following the relaxing of the "lock-down". I was surprised to be able to book tickets online for the five of us as I expected demand to be high. (The only way at the moment to visit National Trust properties is to have tickets which are booked online.) We were courteously greeted by all staff. The number of visitors to the house at any one time is limited and you need to book a slot at the reception. There is hand sanitizer at the reception and at the entry and exit of the house. Only the downstairs of the house was open. We were provided with a laminated information sheet as it is a self guided tour although there are people there if you have any questions. The cafe and toilets were opened but we didn't use these. There is a one way system in force and on the whole most people adhered to it. The grounds were beautiful - still well kept and full of colour and fragrance. We enjoyed a relaxing walk by the beautiful river Blackwater. We felt comfortable with the safety arrangements that they have in place and would recommend to others but remember to book online first!

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 46 reviews
Ranfurly House Arts and Visitor Centre is the perfect starting point for an exploration of the Dungannon and Tyrone area. Located in the former Belfast Bank, a beautiful mid Victorian centrepiece at the heart of Dungannon town which provides the gateway to the medieval capital of Ulster, Hill of The O’Neill a site used by rulers, noblemen and armies as a stronghold to dominate the area, a place from which they could influence all of Ulster. At least two castles are thought to have been built on the site, as well as a grand manor house and a fortified town. A new glass viewing tower and event space recently opened in May 2016 affords the visitor a spectacular view from this most ancient site in Ulster. Glass panels on the lift to the top floor of the tower display artwork portraying the mythological history of Dungannon. From the top floor surrounded with glass the visitor can view seven of the nine counties of Ulster. It was from here the famous O’Neill dynasty utilised a stunning 360-degree view of the province of Ulster to rule Gaelic Ireland for over 300 years. The Ranfurly House Arts and Visitor centre has a multi-media exhibition narrating the Hill’s importance in Irish and European history, its links to the O’Neill’s and the subsequent Flight of the Earls and Plantation of Ulster. Ranfurly House has a fully staffed Tourism and Information Centre offering the following services for visitors to the Dungannon and Tyrone area: Range of information on the local area (including places to visit, places to eat, activities and accommodation) Gift, Crafts and local historical information Full access for disabled users Coffee Shop
