The Barn

Beside the studio lies our charming accommodation. The 300 year old barn has been transformed to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. The shared experience of living, eating and spending time together, forms an integral part of life at the Cow House. The Barn contains five en-suite bedrooms, a cosy dining room, a large living area, an expanding visual arts library, and a busy kitchen where Frank prepares home cooked food.

At the Cow House we take our food seriously. During our teen summer programme we ensure that everyone eats three delicious and healthy meals a day, and we are happy to accommodate for any specific dietary needs, whether it be food allergy or vegetarian requirements. During our residencies, artists share a delicious home cooked meal prepared by Frank once a week, and travel twice a week to local markets to purchase groceries. Additionally, artists may avail of our well stocked pantry. We are proud to serve food that has been produced locally: fresh milk and cheese, natural Irish beef and lamb, and delicious root vegetables, not to mention our home baked brown bread, fruit preserves, and delicious deserts.
