About Us

In 2015, we moved to Ballynoe House, retiring to Felicity’s ancestral homeland. The holiday lets were opened in April 2018 following an 8-month conversion.

Felicity is a pencil and watercolour artist who also loves to quilt and experiment with textiles. Having left at the age of six and travelled the world, she finally feels at home back in beautiful West Cork. A significant number of her family and friends run quality businesses in the area.

As the resident genealogist, Mark has been supporting collaborative family history & DNA research since 1979. Guests can receive a free introduction to their British and/or Irish family history or seek advice on researching their ancestry. Otherwise, he is Ballynoe House’s full-time gardener.
