What our guests think

Second stay in this wonderful property, cannot recommend highly enough! Superb from start to finish, every time! We can't wait to return.

Sorcha, UK - Connell’s Barn

We had an exceptional experience at Connell’s House & Barn. Karla was extremely helpful and the accommodation was absolutely beautiful. We had a rare family gathering with 14 of us staying in the house and barn. The buildings are beautifully restored. All the rooms are comfortable and finished beautifully. Both kitchens are very well equipped . We were fortunate to have fantastic weather and spent lots of time in the lovely garden. I would highly recommend this lovely place.

Angie, UK - Connell’s House & Barn

We had a wonderful time at Connell House. It is beautiful, really well set up for families. I don’t think there is anything the host has not though of. The littles touches they have added just made our stay there so relaxed and comfortable. Would highly recommend it.

Suzie, USA - Connell’s House

Connell’s Barn is a lovely place to stay. We stayed 4 nights, it was perfect for our day trips to Newgrange & Knowth, the Wicklow Mountains, Trim Castle, Loughcrew Cairns, Howth, and Dublin city. The Barn was so clean and comfortable. Karla had a very organised and helpful box file in the Barn with local attractions and maps. The Tribe Restaurant was a superb recommendation from Karla, we had excellent food and a pleasant conversation with one of the owners of this old converted church!

Melissa, USA - CONNELL'S BARN

Our family of 5 adults and 4 children spent 2 nights at Connells House. Connells House is in a fab location, Meath is steeped in history and there is just so much to see and do within a short distance. Lots of activities and trips for families also. Connells House is so beautifully restored with the perfect blend of old and new and had all the comforts of home. The bedrooms are so utterly relaxing, we all slept great. The home is spacious and there was plenty of space for us all. Karla was flexible with our check in which was great, allowed us to get settled in a little earlier. We would all highly recommend Connells House and Karla was a fab host. Contactable at all times and communicated everything we needed. Highly recommend this beautiful house.

Our Recommendations

To Walk

The Great Outdoors

If you fancy stretching your legs whilst on holiday in the Boyne Valley there are several walking trails nearby. Enjoy woodland and river walks on the Boyne Valley Camino or hiking in Slieve Gullion Forrest Park. For the more adventurous walker why not climb Ireland’s 'Stairway to Heaven' at Cuilcagh Mountain for some breathtaking sights.

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.
