What our guests think

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!!!

This house is amazing, even the pictures dont do it justice. My family and I fell in love with the property, so much so we stayed an extra night. I cant think of anywhere else I'd want to propose to my now fiance, it was perfect. The host is a pleasure to deal with and has left no stone unturned. Thanks so much, we'll be back.

Donal, Ireland - Connell’s House

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!

Karla's home exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 8 who enjoyed our stay from the moment we walked in. The space is stylish, clean and has everything you could need. The beds are so comfortable it was like staying in a hotel. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again - everything was perfect. Thank you Karla

Orla, Ireland - Connell’s House

When we booked Connell’s House, we had never visited Ireland, so we weren’t too sure what to expect or if this would be a good location to stay for a holiday home base. Our expectations were exceeded and then some. This home is absolutely stunning. It was very clean and Karla provides every amenity you could possibly want. It was the perfect location for our family and it offered some peace and tranquility after long days site seeing in the bigger cites. It was very convenient to drive from Dublin airport and it was easy to plan day trips from this location. Karla was an amazing host, making us feel special from the beginning, with a welcome basket of local goodies and fresh milk in the fridge, we felt right at home when we arrived. If you plan on visiting Ireland, don’t hesitate on renting Karla's home. It is stunning, functional, sparkling clean, and all around a beautiful home to call yours for your vacation. Karla responds quickly to any questions you might have and we appreciated the in depth book of recommendations for Ireland, that she has on the coffee table. We throughly enjoyed our stay in Ireland and this home just added to the beauty of that. We will definitely be coming back to stay here in the future!
