Lovely setting and great for families

This was the perfect accommodation for a 3 generation family. The welcome basket was a good example of the thoughtful management. We also chose to have a home cooked meal provided on our first night of arrival which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travel.

Great property.

We loved our stay at "The Barn". Very comfortable and well appointed. We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of space. It's very close to Dublin and local trips to Trim and Tara Hill were great. Highly recommend "The Barn".

The property was gorgeous! Tucked away and relaxing. Would absolutely go back.

This property is remote, but gorgeous! There was farm fresh eggs and fresh locally made brown bread waiting for us upon arrival. There were so many special touches it was fantastic.
