The Old Stone Barn was a real gem. While retaining its traditional appearance, the renovated structure contained all modern conveniences. Strong Wi-Fi, good showers and comfortable beds.

Helen and Frank were great hosts, leaving a full stocked kitchen for us and checking in now and then to make sure everything was ok.

The area was very quiet, but close to abbey's, gardens and beaches. We enjoyed visiting the famous Hook Head lighthouse and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Arboretum. The city of New Ross was not far and had great shopping available.

We were lucky with great weather, not expected in Ireland at this time of year, and it was a joy to see sunrise and sunset from the terrace of the house. A special treat was to experience the Blood Moon Total Eclipse while we stayed in the house; although I had to stay up to 3:30 AM to see it, I had a great view because there was so little man-made light so far out in the country. I might never see a similar one in my lifetime.

Thanks, Helen & Frank, for letting us stay at your place. We'll be back.
