Santa's Cottage

Come and visit Santa's Cottage and experience for yourself the wonders of the old time Christmas.

 

As Christmas approaches Santa, with the help of his Elves and Mrs. Claus of course, decorate the cottage and the land around it with a spectacular array of lights that can be seen from miles away. This truly provides a magical setting for Santa Claus to greet his visitors in the heart of the Mourne Mountains.

 

Guests will also be invited into the comfort of Santa's Underground Cottage. This is a beautiful building unlike any other in Ireland that will provide a warm place for visitors to sit down and relax in a unique Christmas environment. The centre piece of the hall is the large stone fire-place and visitors will get the chance to see Mr. Claus himself arrive down through the chimney.

 

Each family will then get their own individual time with Santa beside the glowing fire inside the old cottage. This is a chance for the children to have a chat with Santa and tell him what they would like for Christmas. Here each child will receive a gift from Santa. The old cottage is also the perfect place to take some special family photos with Mr. Claus.

 

Next stop is the elves workshop. The elves are busily working away here making toys for the children for Christmas. This is a busy period for Santa's elves and as you will see they have no time to stop if they are to have all the toys ready for Christmas Eve. The wooden toys on display here that the elves have handcrafted are a testament to the years of practice that the elves have had in the toy-making industry.

 

Santa's helpers will then show each family into his bedroom. This is where Santa gets his rest in preparation for the work that lies ahead at Christmas. As you approach Santa's bedroom you might just happen to hear the loud snoring of one of Santa's elves.

 

As each family leaves Santa's bedroom they will make their way round to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. As Rudolph is the lead reindeer pulling Santa's Sleigh, this is a chance for the children to give Rudolph the directions to their houses so that Santa doesn't get lost when delivering their presents.

 

Visit Santa's Post Office where Santa gets all your letters from around the world.

 

Visitors will get a chance to explore Santa's very own igloo. The igloo is fully decorated inside and the presence of some of Santa's animals provides a feeling of real cosiness.
