One word: EPIC.

Mere words cannot adequately convey the charming warmth of The Dream Barn. The level of care taken to restore this beauty was addressed in every detail. The decor, variety and quality of appliances, bathroom amenities, and convenient onsite laundry made our stay a (positive, happy) memory that will last for a lifetime.

The chickens, cats, dog and cows (in the pasture just 10 feet from the front door of The Dream Barn) made connecting to Irish animal-life an added joy.

Now, about the host, Jim Kenny...

It would be impossible to find a more generous, kind, thoughtful, caring and accommodating host. Jim was attentive and yet gave us the privacy we needed to enjoy our 10-day holiday, which was our first visit to Ireland. He graciously offered airport transportation, which was a welcome blessing after a 10-hour flight. He was prompt and always reassured us to ask if we needed anything.

We rented a motorbike for 5 days from CelticRider.com and without Jim's generosity, it would have taken 3-plus hours to get to the remote pick-up location. Needless to say, he saved us a lot of time so we could enjoy the limited time we had.

The Dream Barn is located in a charming town, Moynalty, which is a short car trip to the town of Kells or Mullaugh (you must have a meal in Kilian's Lodge pub if you're in Mullaugh... OMG!).

Kells is only 5 miles from Moynalty, which was a gorgeous bicycle ride and well-worth using Jim's new bikes for the adventure (just remember to use the two locks he provides!).

The Dream Barn and Jim made our trip even more amazing than we originally envisioned.

I HIGHLY recommend this venue and look forward to our return visit.
