1.Visit St Patrick’s Chair and Well
A visit to the magical St Patrick’s Chair and Well is a must during your stay with us! Perched on the hillside in Altedaven Glen, this large ‘Chair’ is believed to have healing properties and local folklore says that if you sit and make a wish within days it will come true!

With 550 acres of fairy tale woodlands and gorgeous nature reserve there is plenty of space for you and the kids to have a ‘find the four leaf clover contest’!
Roam around our walking trails and keep a keen eye out for 4 leaf clovers, fairy’s and leprechauns, if you catch sight of one don’t forget to make a wish!
3. Meet The Animals on Our Working Farm
Blessingbourne is proudly a snake free zone thanks to St Patrick who chased all the snakes out of Ireland!
So never fear! The only animals you will be feeding are our cheeky horse’s and ponies, beautiful peacocks and clucking hens.
