Ballydugan Mill is a charming, restored 18th Century Flour Mill.
It was originally built in 1792 and brought back to life by Mr Noel Killen.
When Ballydugan Mill was built, it was considered an engineering marvel. It was blessed with the latest technology and the best materials. It had 8 vast floors, all producing flour, bran and starch. And of course the machinery was powered by water, wind and steam.
The mill contained 4 pairs of stones; 2 of them French burrs.
Since the water from Ballydugan lake was only sufficient for eight months of the year, the mill installed a 25 hp steam engine.
Ballydugan Mill can now provide a relaxing seat, freshly-brewed tea or coffee in the ground floor restaurant with exposed beams and roaring open fire, a quick lunch, a three course meal or wedding ceremony and reception.
It also boasts 22 en-suite bedrooms in the Mill itself, and further accommodation can be found in the restored Granary across the courtyard.
