Santa's Cottage in the Mourne Mountains

Santa's Cottage is the Official Residence of Santa in Ireland, as awarded by the "Greenland-Denmark World Santa Congress".

Santa's Cottage is located in the heart of the Mourne Mountains in County Down, between Rostrevor and Hilltown. Completely secluded from modern life and surrounded by mountains and forests in one of Ireland's most beautiful natural areas, it is no surprise that Santa Claus chose here as his place of rest in preparation for the busy Christmas period.

In the summer time you can come and experience what it was like to live in an Irish Cottage during the Famine times and 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.

Each family will 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.
