The making of chocolate

Go behind the scenes and see how chocolate is made in the factory. You can become a chocolatier yourself in half-hour workshops suitable for kids and grown-ups. Create your very own tasty treat to take home (or more likely gobble up before leaving the factory).

Testimonials

Can’t wait to come back

This place is just so well thought through with the customer experience right at the heart of everything the two lovely owners have created here. We LOVED the fizz in the pod when we arrived, though better from the hot tub while we watched a movie on the big screen outside. The pod is so well fitted out with everything you’d need for a luxury stay away with thoughtful extras like milk, tea and coffee and rather fancy snacks. We’ll be back for longer next time so we can use the outside fire pit (wood provided) and pizza oven (they provide pizza hampers as an extra). Did I mention they think of everything? Check in/out was super easy too. Can’t wait to come back – so much to do in the area and Portpatrick has some lovely restaurants we want to try. Well done Eamon and Tomas 👏👏👏
