There are endless possibilities for exploring megalithic ruins, beaches and coastal paths, woodland walks and don’t forget to sample some of the delicious produce, grown right here in the Boyne Valley.

What our guests think

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!

Derek, Ireland - Connell's Barn

We stayed in several VRBO rentals throughout Scotland and Ireland on this trip, and Connell's House was by far our favourite!!! Very warm and welcoming check in, old charming thatched cottage that has been completely renovated and updated, fabulous restaurant in an old church just a short walk away - the perfect holiday home!

Connell’s House was the perfect place for my family and I to stay together. We were all flying in to Ireland for my wedding and Karla was so helpful and accommodating, in every way. The house was sparkling clean and so cozy, it’s a beautiful space and we’re trying to think when we can come back to stay again!

Jillian, USA - Connell’s House

Karla was a fantastic host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a clean, comfortable place to stay. The barn was sparkling clean upon arrival, and we could not get over how beautifully it was decorated. Karla provided everything we needed, from fresh towels, to handmade soaps, to snacks on the table & milk in the fridge upon our arrival. She was willing to accommodate the needs of our children by providing a baby cot, baby gate, high chair and plenty of toys. She left plenty of information regarding restaurant and grocery store recommendations, and also things to do around town/in neighboring towns. You can tell that Karla cares about her guests and wants them to enjoy their time in Ireland. We stayed at five different places during our visit, and this was our favorite by far! We can’t wait to visit again one day. Thanks, Karla, for your wonderful hospitality!

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.
