What our guests think

We are really impressed by Connell's Barn. It is a beautiful, very clean and welcoming house. The descriptions and suggestions from Karla were great. We had no problems to find the barn or anything we needed. Duleek is a nice small town and a good starting point for trips to sights around the the east coast.

Gwendoline, Germany - Connell’s 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

Excellent stay and Karla was very proactive and helpful with her communication prior to check in. Lovely pristine cottage with everything we needed, including toys for our young son! Nice local amenities including food shops, coffee shop, takeaways, pub and restaurant within walking distance in Duleek. Only 10 minutes drive from Ballymagarvey Village, a superb wedding venue, we loved it!

JONATHAN, UK - CONNELL'S HOUSE

Karla’s property in Duleek is a lovely mix of the old and the new, tastefully decorated with attention to detail. The property is best suited for a larger group and easily accommodate the 8 adults and three young children in our group. All the instructions were clearly set out and we had no problem checking into Connell’s House. The history of the property was an added bonus and fascinating but reflective of the little touches Karla has made to make your stay both easy, comfortable and interesting. The children loved the toys and I nearly got the jigsaw puzzle finished! The property is ideally located for visiting Dublin city or the Boyne Valley historical sites. Karla was prompt with any correspondence and we appreciated the treats on arrival. Super host is well deserved as you have a gorgeous property. Thank you Karla!

Derek, UK - Connell's House

Nice town and location and what a beautiful house! Super clean and convenient to little things you might need to shop for daily, close to local attractions and friendly locals. Tribe Restaurant, less than a minute’s walk, was such a favourite that we ate there twice!!! Of the 3 rental homes we stayed at during our two week visit to Ireland, Karla’s house was the cleanest and most comfortable (especially beds, bedding and furniture). Thanks, Karla!
