Hi everyone, Well I'm new on this forum and have just converted an old stone built cow barn into a holiday home for 2. We bought our bungalow within 5 minutes of seeing it and on the site was the barn. We are situated in rural Ireland in Co. Mayo although my wife is English (Me? I'm Cornish). We ret...
