Myself and my partner sought a unique stay for my birthday weekend and that’s exactly what we got at Lorraine and Matt’s beautiful renovated barn.
The self check in was effortless and gave us a chance to become familiar with our surroundings. The hosts, Lorraine and Matt, were lovely people and really made us feel at home. Lorraine greeted us with glasses of homemade elderflower drinks and even kindly offered to drop us into the local town, Tullow.
The Rustic Room was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The bed was so comfortable, I especially enjoyed the super soft pillows. This combined with the silence of the countryside provided a sound nights sleep.
Inside the private courtyard are lush greenery and flowers. Many sunny mornings were spent sitting in the comfortable egg chair reading and listening to the wind chime. There’s a substantially equipped kitchen for you to use and a fridge for you to store your food. Delicious fresh milk from the cows and all the makings of a continental breakfast we’re provided.
We washed down glasses of Prosecco under the stars submerged in the wonderful private hot tub (which illuminates at night) numerous times throughout our stay here after long walks around the beautiful surrounding landscape.
As this stay is located on a farm, there are pigs, horses and chickens to see and the friendly dog Coco always put a smile on our faces when greeted by her.
This secluded spot is perfect for those in need of some peace and quiet and can be enjoyed as a sunny summer getaway or as a cozy winter retreat! We will be back!
