Awful experience! Avoid at all costs!!!
We booked this place and travelled all the way from belfast, check in and getting their was great and the area of the barn is amazing! But we had an awful experience with the barn and one of the hosts, Dermot.
We arrived approximately 8pm, Monica shortly arrived after us and showed us around the place and turned the stove on for us and showed us how to operate it, the barn seems to be what have been used for animals in the past and is only suitable for that use! Animals are all around it (sheep, rabbits and duck etc.) they basically live in the barn except it the other side. The place is filled with bugs and musqitos and we were bitten to death! Also no service on phone what so ever.
At around 2am the stove surrounding went on fire! Yes you heard it right went on fire! It was made from poor wood that has not been insulated, heat proofed or is fire resistant and goes all the way up the chiminey, all of that started smoking and in minutes the place was covered in smoke! Luckily one of my brothers was up and got us all out and we managed to contain it and shut the fire with the extingusher, we knocked at monica who when came and seen what happened was very apologetic and mentioned that the wooden frame was recently built to help dry clothes, she said that theirs nothing she could do and we would speak tomorrow.
We left the place for an hour to get all the smoke and extinusher powder out and went back to try to sleep— fast foward the next morning we met with dermot explained what happened and he had a go at us and accused us of doing it and threatened to flip are car over with his tractor and kill us if we dont leave right now, having no service we couldnt get the police involved we left the place although we had it booked for two nights.
Thankfully airbnb were very helpful and refunded the whole amount to us and offered an alternative place!
Avoid! avoid! avoid!
