What our guests think

Spent a wonderful week at Connell’s House. All aspects from booking to leaving were perfect. Karla is a marvellous hostess, she responds quickly, she's very friendly and helpful, but not intrusive at all. The house is a delight, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. Lovely toiletries and a great welcome pack to greet us. Thank you Karla.

Ann, Wales - COnnell's House

We traveled from the USA and stayed in many Airbnb’s. Karla’s place hands down was the nicest. Loved the decor, super clean, top notch everything. We had wished we stayed there the entire time.

Carren, USA - Connell's House

Karla is hands down the best hostess we have ever had at an Airbnb. Her home was in pristine condition and had everything we needed for our family of four. Our kids loved the toys, the garden area and the sleeping arrangements, with beautiful white bed linen. We absolutely loved Duleek and exploring the surrounding areas. We will definitely be back one day soon, thank you Karla for being a wonderful host!

Kendra, 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

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 Experience

East Coast Beaches

Get some sand between your toes whilst exploring the Boyne Valley and visit the nearby beaches of Mornington, Bettystown and Laytown, known as Meath’s Gold Coast. These large expansive beaches provide views all the way to the Mourne Mountains in northern Ireland. Horse racing takes place on Laytown Beach every summer, a 140 year tradition and quite a spectacle.

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.
