Property Description


The Old Barn offers visitors unique self-catering accommodation on a 95 acre farm. Originally built as a barn in the late 1800's, the barn is now converted into a cosy holiday home and is set in classic County Down countryside. Surrounded by green fields, trees and farm animals, this barn is a very peaceful, secluded place, yet only 1.5 miles from Balloo Village (which has a Post Office, Cash Machine from the Northern Bank, two Grocery Stores, a Restaurant/Pub, Tea-room, etc.) Our guests have the exclusive right to do some coarse fishing in the farm lake.
