"We absolutely loved this property."
It was amazing: clean, spacious, comfortable, luxurious...what more can I say! They even provided dishwasher salt and rinse aid, that is a first for us, we always take our own. They have thought of every single thing you could possibly ask for. Brilliant

"Mary. From the day before we arrived you were on the ball."
The Barn is a fantastic restoration, comfortable, clean, bright and well equipped. You welcomed us to what was a very relaxing stay. Your donkeys were a bonus and Ceva enjoyed them. I'll try to send you a video on whattsapp. Beat of luck for the coming season(s) and we will pass on your details to friends and family. Best regards Eugene Ann & Ceva.

"The Old Village Barn is in a lovely quiet countryside location."
It was very modern, cosy and comfortable with plenty of space in each room. There was a large front garden and patio at the back. We received a very warm welcome from our host Mary-Rose. We travelled to The Cliffs of Moher and Galway and some of the little towns. People were very friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

"The Old Village Barn was a fabulous place for a one-week stay."
Beautiful renovation with all the amenities. Huge fully equipped kitchen. Property was very private and dog friendly. Mary-Rose was a delightful host. She met us upon arrival and checked in during our stay and the day we left. Would recommend The Old Village Barn to anyone looking for a quite luxury holiday in the County Galway countryside.

"This is the nicest house we have ever rented in Ireland."
It was beautiful and so well done. It was very classy and in my experience that is missing in most rentals in Ireland. We loved our stay in the barn. It felt like a real home from home! Xx

The house was spacious, beautifully presented and the hosts couldn't have been more helpful and thoughtful. Lough Derg is very close by and was stunning, our boys thoroughly enjoyed exploring, swimming, fishing and spending time on boats.

It has home comforts and is beautifully finished with lovely furnishings. The garden is beautiful and so we’ll kept. I would highly recommend the Barn and it was amazing to have the lake at the bottom of the lane. Mary and Oliver were very approachable and nothing was a bother for them.

"In the 30 years we have been renting holiday homes, both in the Uk and Ireland, this is the very best accommodation we have ever had."
Decor is excellent and is exactly as per the photos on the site. Extremely bright with large patio doors and heating excellent. The garden outside has been landscaped very well and there is an outside area with a washing machine and drier - both excellent. Extremely well equipped and a lovely bottle of red wine left for us on arrival, which was very welcome. This is a holiday home that we will definitely be returning to and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Also we were able to take our dog with us with no restrictions on what rooms he could use, only restriction with him was no sitting on furniture or beds which he isnt allowed to do at home anyway. All round excellent holiday.

"The Old Village Barn is beautifully decorated and furnished in a tranquil, quiet location within a couple of minutes walk from Lough Derg."
The accommodation, which is exactly as described on the website, had everything we needed and more as well as been spotlessly clean. We has a wonderful relaxing week with our Labrador and Springador who loved the outdoor space. The owner, Mary Rose, is a wonderful attentive host who was on hand if we needed anything at all. We travel to Ireland quite often and we can honestly say this is the nicest cottage we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be returning and recommending the Old Village Barn to our family and friends. Thank you Mary Rose.
