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.

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".
