"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in one of the Mews Houses at Ballynoe House. The standard of accommodation is absolutely superb with a very warm welcome from the hosts Mark and Felicity.
It’s a beautiful area and the peace and tranquility afforded us a much needed break. "

Tip:
"Very fine local beaches - Long Strand, Red Strand and Inchydoney just for starters.
Clonakilty is a charming local town. I wish there was a Scalley’s SuperValu supermarket in England - great for your everyday provisions.
We had an excellent meal at The Mountain House in Ardfield - just minutes away by car.

Thank you for review. Mark very much enjoyed the family history & DNA workshop with you and was delighted to find that there were so many family connections in common in Bristol. We hope it will help you with your ongoing family research. We hope to see you again whenever you need a break.

"Loved the peace and quiet of the location but close to pubs and Clonakilty. The accommodation was first class, clean and comfortable. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. "

Tip:
"Lots of great eateries in Clonakilty and the nearby villages such as Ardfield, Timoleague and Court MacSherry. Lovely local beaches at Inchydoney,Red Strand and Long Strand. Good local pub, the Mountain Pub in Ardfield. Lots of local history in Clonakilty and enjoyed the Clonakilty Distillery Tour, best done on a rainy day. Overall, the area is packed with great things to see and do. "

"We had a wonderful five nights at Ballynoe. We enjoyed the delicious lemon drizzle cake Felicity and also appreciated the milk and tea/coffee being already there for us… thank you.
We will come and stay again when we are next over. It is good to know and understand about the cleaning because that had put us off, but not now we know!
Given how much we like peace and quiet, I know that we lucked out and hence, very much appreciated the lack of other guests during our stay. Next time, I think if we were able to request the end cottage closest to your house, that would work well for us if the other properties are booked out.
I would have liked a few more serving bowls…and Cyril a bbq..!
Overall, a welcoming and beautiful home, modern, comfortable and in a wonderful location.
Thank you x"

Tip:
"We would not hesitate to recommend Ballynoe. It is peaceful, relaxing and well thought out with beautiful outside spaces and a cracking beach nearby (Red Strand… safest one locally for swimming!).
The Long Strand (beach) for walking and The Fish Basket for coffee/lunch. Beautiful walks around Castle Freke and a great 6km circular walk taking in Kilkerrin Lake.
Glandore … favourite ever. Hayes Bar and Glandore Inn for lunch.
Union Hall…. The Dock Wall is fabulous.
Reen Pier… a little piece of Heaven looking across to Castletownsend (also worth a visit).
Clonakilty is great. The Daily Dose is fab for lunch, especially chowder.
Rosscarbery is beautiful. A new coffee shop ‘Drip’ is lovely. Don’t miss The Warren beach.
SuperValu (Scally’s) is our favourite supermarket in Clonakilty.
Slightly further afield… Baltimore,,Schull, Ballydehob and Mizen are all beautiful.
I could go on more…!!!"

"Mark and Felicity were lovely to deal with in the lead up to our stay. We met them on arrival and chatted easily.
The property itself was just a dream. We booked to stay there after our wedding with both sides of our families and we were honestly thrilled with everything.
The grounds were beautiful and we especially loved the wildflower gardens and the fairy trails. It was so safe and secure for the kids who had a blast running around outside.
Inside every detail was thought of from modern decor and lighting, to having a bathroom in each bedroom (which is ideal for groups), to being provided with all the essentials you need in the kitchen to get you started and the small touch of having fresh flowers from the garden in various rooms on arrival.

I couldn’t recommend this property enough and I plan on returning as soon as I can.
Thanks Mark and Felicity for a wonderful stay in a stunning property. "

Tip:
"Fernhill House Hotel & Gardens is a must for a walk and a meal.
The Mountain House is a lovely place for a meal. "
