We stayed in the Dream Barn for the month of July, 2015. The Barn is a charming, homey and welcoming cottage perfect for a weekend getaway or extended weekend. Located in the quaint village of Moynalty (where everyone is incredibly friendly and knows your name…), the Barn is a quiet and peaceful place to get away to rest and relax.
The landscaping is very inviting. Beautiful plants adorn the property. Fresh raspberries and black currants are located just outside your door. Your neighbors include 9 chickens…Roostie and his 8 girls. You’ll find yourself saying hello and goodbye to them as you come and go.
The Barn is well equipped, especially the kitchen. There is a nice flat screen TV with an assortment of movies. Both the Irish channels and satellite TV are available. Reading material is abundant with a wonderful selection of books about Ireland. The bed is extremely comfortable and linens and towels are plentiful.
Jim and Susan were extremely welcoming and accommodating. Jim arranged to collect us at our hotel in Dublin, bring us to Moynalty and provided a return trip to the airport. Jim and Susan took us on an afternoon sightseeing adventure to several of the area nature and historical sites. They also took us out to celebrate our July 4th Independence Day.
Moynalty is a very small, but welcoming village. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing environment, the Barn and Moynalty is just the place. If you are looking for nightlife, museums and churches, we recommend Dublin, which is only about an hour away by bus. While there is twice daily bus service in Moynalty to Kells and frequent buses from Kells to Dublin, we would recommend you have your own transportation.
All in all, a wonderful experience with 5 stars.
