Welcome to Ballydougan Pottery
Welcome to Bloomvale House, home of the Thatch Restaurant & Coffee Lounge, Gift Shop & Ballydougan Pottery Courtyard Cottages. Bloomvale House, an historic listed grade II thatched house was built in 1785 by a Huguenot family named Gasgoine. Originally a Linen Merchant’s house, Bloomvale was a centre for receiving and final processing of linen from the many out-weavers who lived in local cottages. This house has for generations been associated with craft, so it was fitting in 1996 when its present owner Mr Sean O’Dowd bought the property and restored Bloomvale House and its outbuildings.
