Hawes Barn is a truly wonderful and unique place to stay . As we drove through the gates I felt straightaway that we had found somewhere special and I was not wrong. Th e accommodation has everything for modern day comfort but still keeps its bygone charm. The large french doors open up to a lovely little sun trap patio where we enjoyed an evening glass of wine taking in the beauty and nature of the countryside. We enjoyed walking in the surrounding land from the large gardens out by the river.
John and Monika are genuinely kind and caring people and could not have been better hosts , leaving milk, biscuits and a delicious home baked loaf. Nothing was too much trouble - John even drove us out to the best starting point for our climb up Sliabh na mban .
We always miss out own little dog Frankie when we are away but how lucky were we to make friends with Molly and Franky, two of the most gorgeous dogs we have ever met. It was lovely to come back after a day out, to the wagging tail welcome of these two.
We cannot praise Hawes Barn highly enough. We both felt so relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us, John and Monika and we look forward to visiting again.
