We spent spent 5 weeks in this amazing property in Ballyshane East Cork. The Barn is spacious, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We really appreciated the comfortable king-size bed! The garden is superb - bursting with fresh veggies, which we devoured. Kenneth was incredibly generous with his time and attention. We had everything we needed - often before we even had a chance to ask.

The location was perfect for us. A spectacular coastal location. Beautiful walks right from the property, including access to the long coastal trail. We could reach Cork City within 30 minutes, but found that we had most of what we needed within 15 minutes of the house. Middleton is a great little town with a wide range of amenities - including a fabulous pilates studio. We are foodies and were particularly happy to find some very good restaurants, excellent local markets and extensive organic food options at our finger tips. The Ballymaloe hotel and cooking school and shop are superb resources in this area.

Prior to our stay in the Barn, we had spent 2 wonderful months traveling around Ireland. We are already making plans for an extended stay at the Barn in Ballyshane next summer. Highly recommended!
