Welcome to the historic grade II listed Bloomvale House, home of the award-winning Ballydougan Pottery, The Linen Barn Coffee Shop, Gift Shop & Courtyard Cottages.At Ballydougan Pottery, the tradition of excellence is carried on to this day by a team of highly skilled potters. In the workshop each piece of pottery is thrown and decorated by skilled hands to produce a comprehensive range of kitchenware and giftware items. Each piece is designed to be used and enjoyed and is as strong and reliable as it is beautiful.After viewing the potters at work, take time to meander through the historic 18th Century Gift Shop, where a full range of Ballydougan pottery and other quality crafts are on display.
