Summary

Two centuries of family legacy, one hotel: Fernhill House, owned by the O’Neills since 1946, is more than a business—it’s home. Michael O’Neill Junior, who grew up sneaking downstairs to watch weddings and drumming with the band, shares how his family saved the hotel from becoming a farm, turned it into a B&B in 1967, and now runs it together with his brothers. Facing modern hospitality demands and rural transport gaps, they’ve invested 5 million euros in expansion, added 16 rooms, launched art trails and a gin, and are upgrading infrastructure for electric cars. For the O’Neills, Fernhill House is family—and they’re determined to pass it on even stronger.
