Connell’s Barn was beautiful and meticulously clean. My friend and I developed a running joke during our stay about the flawlessness of the place; pillows too fluffy, tourist info suspiciously organised, the furnishings incredulously tasteful, you get it…...Karla really went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed, her organisation and attention to detail was very much appreciated. We booked places on our trip with the mindset "we just need a place to sleep" but once we got to Karla's place we opted to utilise the sparkling kitchen to cook a few meals, lingered over tea, and even had a night in eating takeout on the couch. The beds were so comfy, on our first night we both slept 11 hours straight!!!

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!

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!

We travel full time and stay in Airbnbs 90% of the time. This was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed! No problem parking right outside. There was a grocery store around the corner, a fantastic restaurant next door called TRIBE, a lovely pub on Main Street and a great Farm Cafe (Sage & Stone) only 5 minutes away by car. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Karla!

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!
