ABOUT US

Mark and I have been opening our home to visitors for the past six years and have spent countless hours organizing and planning cycling and walking routes and daytrips for our guests. So, why not combine our hospitality business with our love of the outdoors and provide a special holiday experience. Kilbora Outdoor Holidays was created!

As sheep farmers we spend the winter lambing and working on our farm. Mark’s paternal grandmother was born on this farm and our children are at least the 6^th generation of his family to live here. After living and working in the United States for 13 years we returned to Ireland in December 2001 with our 3 children. Mark is a firm believer in eco friendly farming practices and encourages you to walk the fields and explore the wooded trails that are adjacent to our farm. You might even see some of our local wildlife; foxes, pheasants, hawks and even mink.

I am a native New Englander who met and married my wonderful Irish husband while we both worked in Boston Massachusetts. My grandparents hail from Counties Clare, Tipperary, Cork and Galway, so in a sense I am back where my family began!

I am busy during the winter months raising our children, helping with the farm and designing patchwork quilts (some of which have been published in Irish Quilting Magazine). We love our small piece of heaven and enjoy sharing it with others.
