About Us
We moved to Ballynoe House in 2015 and after extensive restoration works to the outbuildings (barn & stables) we were delighted to welcome our first guests in April 2018.
Felicity is a portrait and pet portrait artist who also loves quilting and experimenting with textiles. Her work can be found inside the holiday homes as well as around the woodland walk. Having left the area at the age of six and travelled the world, she finally feels at home back in beautiful West Cork.
Many of her family and friends run quality businesses in the area.
As the full-time gardener and resident family historian/genetic genealogist, Mark has been researching Felicity’s West Cork roots, as well as his own wider origins (incl. Co. Mayo), He has been supporting collaborative family history & DNA research, since 1979. Guests can benefit from his expertise whether it is British and Irish family history or advice on research and understanding their DNA test results. He is a former Director of the Clonakilty Chamber of Commerce.
