The barn is gorgeous, we couldn't stop marveling at all the beautiful details. The wood-burning fire was our favorite feature, along with all the cozy sheepskins and the gas stove. Nathan, Lucy and their son were wonderful hosts -- they even welcomed us with homemade soda bread and brought us treats on Christmas Day. The location makes a car absolutely necessary, but it's a manageable 20-30 minutes outside of Galway city, within day-trip distance of the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher, and it's a perfect location for unplugging and enjoying the rural atmosphere.
