Blaircourt Brook Farm is described in reviews as a multi-use venue rather than a veterinary clinic—used for dog shows, horse-related activities (including riding/arenas), and even fishing. Reviewers repeatedly mention the practical setup for events, including large arenas and plenty of parking, plus an on-site café (one review specifically mentions a bacon roll). A few practical downsides are also raised, such as toilets needing better cleanliness and a rough car park surface, though the same reviewer still said they would return.
