The Dream Barn was a dream and a beautiful one. The location is in the prettiest village and we drove from there to explore New Grange, Hill of Tara, The giant's causeway and the north coast. There is also much to see in the surrounding area. After long days touring, it was lovely to come "home" to the barn- it was like coming home because it had everything you could possibly need- warmth, facilities and music and books. As for Jim- yes he is warm and a very sweet person who welcomes you with that special Irish hospitality. If you want to experience Ireland and avoid the city, this is a perfect place from which to tour! 10/10 for us! Jeanette and Rex
