View Our CottagesWelcome to Bloomvale House, home of The Thatch Restaurant & Coffee Lounge and Ballydougan Pottery Courtyard Cottages. Bloomvale House is a historic Grade II listed thatched house, built in 1785 by a Huguenot family named Gascoigne.
Originally a linen merchant’s house, Bloomvale has long been associated with craft and creativity. In 1996, its present owner, Mr Sean O’Dowd, carefully restored the house and its outbuildings, preserving its unique character while creating a warm and welcoming destination. Today, visitors can enjoy relaxing accommodation, quality food, and a peaceful countryside setting, all within easy reach of Northern Ireland’s top attractions.
