Vivian and Chris seemed like lovey people. They were both really friendly but I only saw them briefly on my arrival due to my short stay. The lodging is unique and very comfortable. The wood stove worked great and kept me very warm.
However, I did not read the listing closely enough. I think this would be a place much better suited for any season but the winter due to the outside location of the toilet. It's just outside the door but there was a storm on when I was there and it made it tricky. Vivian expressed surprise with my booking in fact saying that people don't usually book this time of year (December). The kitchen also requires a walk across the deck which is really neat but again probably not the best in the winter. Most of all, since it is a farm, they have four free running dogs so if you are not ok with dogs this listing is not for you. Also if your are worried about your rental car going down a farm lane, this also might not be for you.
If you are looking for a unique building and an experience on a working Irish farm, this is for you!
Don't forget to ask Vivian about yoga!
