Barn vacation rentals in Ulster

We spent 3 days at The Barn. It is in such an exceptionally beautiful location, with amazing views. The cottage is very clean, comfortable, peaceful and very homely. We had stunning weather whilst we were there - even managed to have our first bbq of the year! Gillian was very welcoming, friendly, responsive and helpful to any questions that we had. We 100% recommend staying at the beautiful 'Barn' and hope to return one day to explore more of the north of Ireland! x

My family loved our stay at Ardcarne Lodge. Brian and his parents were helpful and welcoming, with lots of local recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing, and the lodge itself was utterly charming. We also appreciated the fresh flowers, and the grocery essentials in the fridge. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland!

Lovely location and fantastic house for a wider family to stay together. We really enjoyed our stay and would come again.

We had a brilliant stay 2 night stay in the Orchard Cottage (4 adults and 1 toddler), which acted as our base to spend time Fermanagh over Easter. Peaceful and quiet setting with cosy vibes inside it felt like being right at home. The welcome basket on arrival was a nice touch, and our 2 year olds response this morning for breakfast was, she wanted some ginger cake so it was definitely a hit! Brilliant cottage to unwind and would definitely recommend this place to others. Seamus and Eileen are great hosts!

A lovely farm cottage. Clean and even came with some basics in the fridge! Close to the beach and the beach bar restaurant. Would stay again!

We had a great stay. The historic decoration was fantastic and we enjoyed the tub. The sofa bed was already set up for us as we had three people, which was very nice. The dog is also quite sweet and entertaining!

What a beautiful space with great amenities, spectacular views and hiking trails right there. Very comfortable and cozy… we loved our time there!

Booking was a breeze. Contacted the hosts beforehand and they were extremely helpful in narrowing down a date and a check-in time. When we arrived, Dermot was there to greet us and showed us to our place of stay. He made sure that we felt welcomed and if we needed anything at all, not to be afraid to give him a shout. Dermot helped us with organising a take-away and also with setting up the fire and heater. Area was beautiful and peaceful with stunning views of the Ox Mountains range. The barn was far bigger than I expected, with lots of room and everything you could need. Overall, was a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend it.

The property is on a wonderful lakeside location. Peaceful and private with easy access to the lake. A great spot.

Weaver’s Barn is located in the centre of the village of Ardara and is very close to bars and restaurants. In particular it is next door to Nancy’s which serves great seafood amongst other dishes. The house is very cosy and warm and has all amenities you will need. We had a great stay. Ardara is in a great location with some fabulous coastal walks and beaches nearby.

a wonderful stone cottage. very comfortable, clean, warm and peaceful. Great host and would recommend highly

Lisa Marie was so helpful and accommodating. The barn was perfect for us, it was pristine and had everything we could have asked for. We and our dogs loved our stay and would love to return.

Enjoyable stay. The barn was very nice and the area is great. The only downside was there was no area to leave the dog enclosed outside, but no big deal. Would stay again.

the house and annex were outstanding and had everything we needed. Beautifully clean and some very generous welcoming treats. Our family had a fantastic weekend.

Just back from a weeks stay at Brambles cottage. What can we say apart from it was fantastic. So very peaceful,beautiful scenery and LOADS of great places to walk from the door step. We brought our dog Boycee and he throughly enjoyed himself also. The garden was 100% secure so we could just relax and let Boycee run around and play freely. We would most definitely love to go back if welcomed. Thank you to Karen and Alistar. Nothing was a problem

Jax’s accommodation is top notch! No one could go above and beyond her impeccable standards for suppling a bountiful and luxurious stay…And this is my 1st time ever leaving such a complimentary review for any of the over 80 Airbnb properties I’ve stayed in. She showers u with kindness and hospitality. The amount of food provided kept us from eating out during first two nights of our 4 night stay. The open living area has been decorated in the most tastefully charming and cozy way. The upstairs loft bedrooms provide a cozy nest sleeping and dressing area. I had thought a designer had come in, but she has done it herself with only the help of her husband’s crafty handiwork, amazing… The only thing I could include as a warning would be that the bathroom is located downstairs off of the kitchen, so the physically impaired may find it cumbersome to navigate the stairs during the night. I’m an active 70 yr old, I had no problem with the adjustment. All said, highly recommend!

A really wonderful studio to feel good and relax in. The kitchen is very well equipped, everything is clean and tidy. We were allowed to use the bicycles and were able to explore the island very well. Una and Steward are very attentive hosts, always approachable and helpful. Hope we'll come back!

Hosts were extremely helpful at all times. Accomodation was spotless, comfortable & great value for money. Would highly recommend & would stay again if we were in the area

What can I say about Crow’s Hermitage that the other reviews haven’t already captured? If you’re considering other options—stop looking. You’ve found the perfect place. As many others have noted, the photos can’t possibly convey the enchantment that settles over you the moment you arrive. From the character of the home to the serene outdoor spaces to the thousand-year-old parish next door, it feels like stepping into the pages of a fairytale. When it comes to hosts, Colm is in a league of his own. He went above and beyond with directions, thoughtful recommendations, and any request we made. By the end of our stay, we didn’t just feel cared for—we felt like family.

Beautiful cottage just outside of Belfast with easy access to the Antrim coast. The space had everything we needed in a beautiful country side setting. Lindsay was quickly responsive and easy to deal with.

We had a lovely weekend at the Hay Loft which is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The property is very homely and exactly what we wanted for the weekend. Colm is a very friendly and an attentive host. We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in the barn loft at Dyan Mill. The accommodation was beautiful. It was clean and had everything you need. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was fully equipped - not that we used it as there was a fantastic restaurant 10 steps from your front door! The animal zoo was a bit hit with our 8 year old and the staff were knowledgeable and really friendly. We paid the entrance fee at the start of our stay and we had free access in and out to see the animals all weekend- great value! The on site restaurant, the Hungry Goat, had a good menu, plenty of choice and again, fantastic staff! We ate in the restaurant both nights and the food was great both times. There's also a cafe on site with great hot chocolate and ice cream. The barn is also obly 15 mins from Armagh City where there's plenty to do to keep little ones entertained. We'll definitely be back to stay, it's one of the nicest and friendliest places we've stayed in a long time.

We had a great time at the Hayloft. Our three year old son loved the open architecture and the spiral staircase to the top bunk. Everything was very clean and Larissa gave perfect instructions for check-in. The farmhouse atmosphere is great and you can be in Dublin or Newgrange in about half an hour. Brochures for excursions in the area were also on site. The little farm store, which is open at weekends, was also very charming. We were also very pleased with the small welcome gift and would have liked to stay longer. For us a 5-star plus experience, which we would gladly repeat.

This was a really lovely spot to spend the weekend with friends. Lovely communal living areas and a beautiful garden. Thank you.
