Parents Can Chill Out While Their Kids Are Out & About
Guests at Ballynoe House need not worry about “staying at home”. After all, it is a holiday for parents too and sometimes it is just good to relax and not go anywhere, except perhaps to take a short walk to the local beach.
Ballynoe House has 2 acres of grounds available to guests which provides a variety of opportunities for kids of all ages to do their own thing, from sitting under a tree, exploring the woods, or kicking a ball about on the play area in the Upper Meadow. There are plenty of areas where a family can also have a traditional picnic.

The Woodland Trail provides an opportunity to document how many leaves or tree species there are, and for the younger ones finding those well-hidden fairy doors. No-one quite knows how many fairy doors there are and many visits down the trail will be required to find them all (possibly).

Holiday Videos & Photos
How about a holiday souvenir with a difference? Ballynoe House has several wildlife cameras that can be set up around the property. There is a lot of wildlife that might otherwise not be seen. Both still photography and video is possible, day & night. Budding young David Attenborough’s staying at Ballynoe House may be interested in helping to set up the cameras as well as having a brief starring role. We’ll email you the results.
