Collon House

Michael is a fabulous host. It honestly felt like we were visiting an old friend. From the moment we arrived and he greated us by name, we knew we’d been expected and we felt welcome. Our room was lovely and the electric blanket was a lovely addition. Blinds down, shutters closed we were snug in our bed for the 3 nights we stayed. The house is beautiful and full of lovingly chosen and placed antiques, including a grand piano. The gardens are gorgeous too. Breakfast was a wonderful social occasion. All the house guests gather round the huge mahogany table that is laid with matching bone china and silverware. An exceptional continental and full Irish breakfast is freshly cooked and served by Michael and the housekeeper. Michael introduces each guest and breakfast becomes a lazy affair as strangers exchange plans and stories of their travels in Ireland. A true Irish experience. We also found Michael to be super helpful from helping with luggage, restaurant recommendations to sorting an airport taxi and bus to Slane. Wholly recommend Collon House.

Gorgeous building and beyond-welcoming owners! The breakfast was big and delicious too. They were great with the dogs too.

Magnificent 18th century house filled with wonderful antiques. Garden is phenomenal. Breakfast is beyond belief. I have never bothered to submit a rating before, but this establishment deserves a special accolade.

Collon House was a fantastic experience which was unexpected. I booked for an overnight stay and attendance at a wedding nearby. The renovation of the house was exceptional. Our room (the Chinese room) was huge with a massive fireplace. The old world features were or appeared authentic providing the experience of luxuries experienced by the 'well off' in the last century. Breakfast was amazing using the solid silver service of course. Michael provided guidance and insight on the history which brought the whole place to life.

We slept in historic room! The hosts have worked hard to make this 1740 property hospitable, modern, and still fit with the character of its original time period. We were treated to a tour of the entire house and the amazing gardens. Breakfast was fabulous, and well presented. Had we known how close it was to Dublin, we would’ve stayed there an extra night!
