What our guests think

We had a wonderful stay at Connell's Barn. We had quite a bit of site seeing to do but ended up spending a good amount of time indoors because of how comfortable it made us feel. The place is well equipped, calm, and spacious. You’ll get to appreciate it even more, once you see the transformation it went through to get to what it is today (you can see that in the black book on the shelf by the radio). An amazing stay and highly recommended.

We were incredibly happy with our stay at Connell's House! It is superbly comfortable, beautifully decorated, warm, spacious, immaculately clean and has everything you can think is provided! We loved the spacious kitchen and the big table; the incredibly comfy living room with its soft couches, wonderful sense of space and cosiness. Each one of the bedrooms were glorious with utterly blissful beds. The garden and picnic tables outside are so lovely too. Fluffy towels, glorious shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, as much cookware as you could ever need, soft lights in every room, and a rapidly responsive heating system. Everyone had their own beautiful bathroom and a big deep bath for the restful soak! The creativity, consideration and intelligence, with which this house has been renovated is absolutely world class and we would love if Karla would take on another such project and bring more of our precious heritage back to life! May you enjoy your stay at Connell's House as much as we did! Thank you so much Karla!

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

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

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!
