What our guests think

We had an exceptional experience at Connell’s House & Barn. Karla was extremely helpful and the accommodation was absolutely beautiful. We had a rare family gathering with 14 of us staying in the house and barn. The buildings are beautifully restored. All the rooms are comfortable and finished beautifully. Both kitchens are very well equipped . We were fortunate to have fantastic weather and spent lots of time in the lovely garden. I would highly recommend this lovely place.

Angie, UK - Connell’s House & Barn

Connell’s Barn is a lovely place to stay. We stayed 4 nights, it was perfect for our day trips to Newgrange & Knowth, the Wicklow Mountains, Trim Castle, Loughcrew Cairns, Howth, and Dublin city. The Barn was so clean and comfortable. Karla had a very organised and helpful box file in the Barn with local attractions and maps. The Tribe Restaurant was a superb recommendation from Karla, we had excellent food and a pleasant conversation with one of the owners of this old converted church!

Melissa, USA - CONNELL'S BARN

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!

Karly, USA - Connell’s Barn

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!

Derek, Ireland - Connell's Barn

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!
