What our guests think

The best Airbnb ever. Thoughtful amenities, amazing host, it’s like your own slice of paradise in Duleek. It was hard to leave.

Mande, USA - Connell’s Barn

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.

Lucy, France - Connell’s Barn

We travel full time and stay in Airbnbs 90% of the time. This was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed! No problem parking right outside. There was a grocery store around the corner, a fantastic restaurant next door called TRIBE, a lovely pub on Main Street and a great Farm Cafe (Sage & Stone) only 5 minutes away by car. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Karla!

Heidi, usa - connell's barn

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

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 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.
