“A very pleasant rural retreat with excellent accommodation a little too far off the beaten track for us.”
+A well presented and maintained property that has charm and comfort. Our room was comfortable, clean and well equipped. A beautiful setting out in the countryside which would be perfect for those seeking solitude and peace. The host provided a lovely meal at additional cost which was a treat.
−For us a little too remote and difficult to find. The drive to it was fraught as we have a car with little under carriage clearance and this posed a bit of difficulty for us as much of the single track road had a central grass/ vegetation hump/ ridge which at times caught our exhaust system. It was much further from Skibbereen than I had realised when booking.

“The Stone Barn is an absolute gem of a B&B, a secluded hideaway that is beautiful and the hosts are so warm and welc”
+The stone barn has been beautifully renovated with care and attention to detail, lots of character. The room (we had the upstairs) was spacious, the bed super comfortable and the bathroom well appointed. Stuart and Karin are fantastic hosts, very welcoming and friendly and Stuart gave us great recommendations for places to visit during our stay. Breakfast is great, lots of choice and all beautifully prepared. You have to eat dinner here too if you can, as the food is superb - all locally sourced produce, interesting menu and cooked to perfection.
−Nothing, we really enjoyed every aspect of our stay

“Simply wonderful.”
+Loved everything about this property from the quiet secluded spot, to the friendliness of the owners, the beautiful house and cleanliness. We had the tasting menu at this property and it was exceptional food and great value for money. Stuart was so accommodating with my dietary requests. Would highly recommend this property and we hope to go back one day.
−There wasnt one thing I could say I disliked.

“A beautiful escape from busy lives!!”
+The ambience at the Stone Barn is lovely. You are surrounded by a gorgeous Irish wolfhound, birds chirping, cattle mewing, friendly cats and a busy community of hens who are fascinating to observe. This is a beautiful country retreat and really ideal from those who are trying to switch off for a few days! The jacuzzi in the garden surrounded by apply trees was particularly enchanting too! Stuart is an excellent chef and his food is full of heart and warm flavours. We looked forward to breakfast every morning! Dinner is also available. The Stone Barn is just a 10 minute drive from Baltimore where you can go on a whale watching trip with Nic Slocum. . . Unreal!
−The location means you are a little bit away from the beautiful town of Skibbereen! It’s fine if you are driving and one of you is happy on the Zero’s. Taxi’s are available and Skibbereen Martin West Cork Cabs was exceptionally reliable for a trip into the town.

“Very comfortable two night stay with very friendly hosts and great food.”
+Lovely B and B set in the west Cork countryside, with the added option of a tasting menu evening meal being served personally by the chef patron. Close to the town of Skibbereen, and within driving distance of other towns of the area and south Kerry. Area very good for walks and hiking.
