We pride ourselves at Blessingbourne as being an ideal destination for both mountain bikers, families and couples and to know that we are successfully drawing mountain bikers, as well as families and couples is fantastic. We would like to thank everybody who voted for Blessingbourne and congratulate the winners in the other categories – in particular Donal McKendry!”
