What our guests think

Excellent stay and Karla was very proactive and helpful with her communication prior to check in. Lovely pristine cottage with everything we needed, including toys for our young son! Nice local amenities including food shops, coffee shop, takeaways, pub and restaurant within walking distance in Duleek. Only 10 minutes drive from Ballymagarvey Village, a superb wedding venue, we loved it!

JONATHAN, UK - CONNELL'S HOUSE

The best Airbnb ever. Thoughtful amenities, amazing host, it’s like your own slice of paradise in Duleek. It was hard to leave.

Mande, USA - Connell’s Barn

Connell's Barn was the perfect setting before our wedding. We had a wonderful relaxing few days in the most stunning setting. All of the little touches make the beautiful property even more stunning. Karla is the most attentive host and is super helpful from start to finish. She has some wonderful local recommendations that I would definitely suggest should be experienced. We hope to return here time and time again. What a hidden gem!

Clare, UK - Connell's Barn

Karla’s home was perfect! We had a total of 6 adults and 2 kids staying in the house and 2 adults and 2 kids staying in the barn. Karla was an amazing hostess! Very communicative and helpful. Her home was extremely clean and perfectly located near Main Street, so we were able to walk to pick up anything we needed. Everyone we met in the village was so nice and friendly. Karla provided so much helpful information and her home had everything we needed. My nephew got married at Slane Castle and it was only a 15 minute car ride away; except when we were stopped because cows were crossing the road! That added another 5-10 minutes, but that’s Ireland!!! I could go on and on about Karla, her beautiful home and Duleek, but this was the BEST Airbnb we have ever experienced!

Rachel, USA - Connell's house

Connell’s Barn was super clean, warm, cosy and comfortable. A really well designed and stylish space and only 15 minutes from Tayto Park and Funtasia. A great little spot for a small family or couple. Karla had a very comfortable bed made up for our little boy and he was delighted that she had left out toy cars and blocks for him. We would definitely book again when we return to Ireland!

Our Recommendations

To Explore

Dublin City

Dublin City is full of interesting sights and characters and makes a great day trip. The city centre has been transformed in the last 20 years. Neighbourhoods that were once run down have become gentrified with contemporary buildings and trendy shops and cafes. There are some spectacular period buildings alongside some cutting edge modern architecture. The city centre is small and easy to explore on foot, although you can hop on a tram to the Docklands or the Phoenix Park to explore further afield.
