We have just returned from an absolutely fabulous 3 day stay at Swallow Barn. We only wish it could have been longer! Our hosts made us feel extremely welcome, relaxed and comfortable with lots of information on the property and the area, a bounteous supply of logs for the wood burner and invitations to meet the sheep and see farm life in action. Nothing was too much trouble for these exceptionally hospitable and interesting hosts. The three dogs also played their wonderful part in making us feel welcome too. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the balcony taking the view of the wind and crows in the eucalyptus tree with the heat of the sun coming in through the window and the heat from fire rising up from below. Another highlight was spending time with our hosts at feeding time for the heavily pregnant sheep. The surrounding area is very rural and unspoilt with fantastic scenery including Brittas Bay beach, Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains all in easy reach. It is so clean, comfortable, peaceful and quiet at Swallow Barn and we have fond memories of our time there.
