My husband and I's first stay in Ireland was in The Barn and nothing could have introduced us to beautiful Ireland better.
The Barn itself is quiet, warm, beautiful, and relaxing to say the least. The only thing more wonderful than the barn was Finola and her son Daniel. Not only were they more than helpful when we were trying to find things to do, they seemed really excited to show us their town. (Side note: Finola's homemade bread is to die for).
Finally, the town of Fanore is a hidden treasure. Everything around it is beautiful and the people are ever so kind.
Within a 20 min drive you can reach all sorts of other quaint towns with similar feels. We honestly never wanted to leave. The morning we were scheduled to move on to our next town we both had such a hard time leaving.
You'd be depriving yourself of a lot not to stay here.
