Jim has been a fantastic host! The Dream Barn was a perfect place to stay during our holiday to Ireland. It was cozy and had everything my fiancé and I needed for our stay. The rooster wasnt too noticeable during its wake up call ;). We would run into Jim occasionally and he would ask how our holiday was going and recommended some things for us to do too. You do have to drive into town but it's not that far. This place is a must stay, the name of the house speaks for itself!
