Desmond was an absolutely phenomenal host, very kind and even had a cup of tea ready for us when we arrived after a long day of travel. He gave us plenty of details on how to get to places and when we got stuck for a lift, he himself actually dropped us off. Everything was lovely and a nice range of things for breakfast in the morning. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

The flat is tucked away in the countryside, far from traffic noise. The bed was large and comfortable. The self-check-in was easy and convenient. Bed There’s a microwave and an electric oven, but no stove. The owners left us some really thoughtful gifts — a bottle of white wine, pastries, milk, yogurt, and a few beers — which we really appreciated. All in all, a great experience!

Our stay at Blackberry Barn was the highlight of our time in Northern Ireland. The owners have done an amazing job restoring these old buildings - there was even a photo album that documented the process! The space was large and beautifully decorated. We loved the covered hot tub and made good use of it after our long days exploring the area. We were very appreciative of the washing machine and separate dryer. I recommend this property and hope I am able to return one day!

We liked EVERYTHING about this property, from the location, the facilities, the friendliest host, the welcome basket with breakfast goodies, the flowers, the fields, the cows, the river…. I could go on! We did so much during our stay, both outside exploring some beautiful landmarks, and inside, playing pool and writing poems ❤️I would highly recommend this place! Heaven ❤️
