The Barn was an absolutely wonderful place to escape to for a few days. It's well off the beaten track, and Kenneth did have to come find us but he was kind enough to do so without issue. He was very communicative and helpful, checking in to make sure everything was okay but also allowing us our privacy. The barn is pure rustic beauty, with wooden and stone floors, a wood burning fire and low wooden beams in the loft-like bedrooms, but has the comfort of plush furniture like a luxuriously large couch and the most incredibly comfortable beds with electric blankets. The kitchen was well stocked and a joy to cook in (it's probably the most rustic part and I'm a sucker for that aesthetic!). We arrived to fresh bread, eggs and a bottle of red, all of which were absolutely delicious. The living room shelves were packed with a wide variety of books and dvds which was a treat. The barn is surrounded by fields and trees, and the farmhouse itself is in a copse full of nesting crows which I was thrilled listening to! It really was just such a lovely wild area to roam around in. And if that wasn't enough, stunning views of the Atlantic from the coastal cliffs are all of 30 seconds walk from the barn. The long rocky and sandy beach is well worth the stroll down the road too. All in all, the barn is a rural hidden gem no distance at all from Cork City, Kenneth is a gentleman and I can't recommend this place enough.
