Picture a traditional Irish hay loft over byre / stable with steps at the gable-end. We converted the loft to a studio apartment with sofa bed, roof lights - timber clad apart from one stripped stone wall. The studio includes a compact kitchen and dining area. There is ONE BED SETTEE suitable for 2 people SHARING. Outside there is an elevated decking area which has a bistro table and chairs - with views of Carlingford Lough, Flagstaff and Anglesea Mountain. A fire pit / barbecue area is close by.
