Connells House and Barn | Luxury Self Catering in Meath

Boyne Valley

No visit to the Boyne Valley is complete without exploring Newgrange (Brú na Bóinne) and taking a walk along the banks of the river Boyne at Oldbridge. There are endless possibilities for exploring megalithic ruins, beaches and coastal paths, woodland walks and don’t forget to sample some of the delicious produce, grown right here in the Boyne Valley.

What our guests think

We had a super nice time and were very impressed by the great Connell's Barn. It is furnished with a lot of attention to detail and you immediately feel super comfortable. There were even a few sweets waiting for us to greet us. Karla even came by and explained a lot of things to us and gave tips for the surroundings. The property is located in the centre of Duleek but is in a quiet spot, with direct parking. Some shops can be easily reached on foot. Great places, like a super beautiful beach, can be reached within a few minutes by car. We were very sad to go home and it was certainly not our last visit to her. Thank you for a great week in a cozy place.

If you are looking for the perfect Airbnb experience this is it. The barn is beautiful and much nicer than the pictures. It is beautifully laid out and the extra touches were very welcome, such as locally made soap, shampoo, conditioner etc. As well as tea, coffee, biscuits and nibbles. I particularly loved the book charting the renovation of the house & barn. What vision Karla had to transform it to its current state. 5 stars all the way. Loved it.

Rosaleen, UK - Connell’s Barn

Amazing place to stay about 40 minutes from Dublin city by car. Nice little town and very close to the Newgrange, an amazing World Heritage site. Karla has thought about everything and left nothing to chance. Great property. Thanks so much, we’ll be back!

Kristine, USA - Connell’s Barn

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!

Connell’s House was the perfect place for my family and I to stay together. We were all flying in to Ireland for my wedding and Karla was so helpful and accommodating, in every way. The house was sparkling clean and so cozy, it’s a beautiful space and we’re trying to think when we can come back to stay again!

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.
