Collon House

What a great stay! We stay in a lot of country houses like this and we loved this place. Michael was great, very welcoming and full of interesting facts`about the house. We stayed in the french room and loved it. The house was amazing, and the breakfast was very tasty and wholesome - great food and service! Nice bars and restaurants around the village too! We would definitely come back to stay here and recommend to friends!

The stay here is definitely a unique experience: genuine, historical surroundings and interiors, beautiful garden, and very good breakfast. The rooms are a bit chilly, but the blankets and beds are warm and absolutely wonderful.

My brother, sister-in-law, and I stayed in Ireland at Collon House for a week. Highly recommend this delightful Bed and Breakfast. Great food and wonderful hosts. Right at the end of the driveway is a bus stop for an express bus into Dublin. But, better yet, a pub is also located right at the end of the driveway. You can't get any better than that! Even though this is a very tiny village, two fabulous restaurants are within walking distance of Collon House. The house itself has a breath-taking garden where you can sit and enjoy your coffee or wine. Oh, and by the way, despite what Michael says, I'm pretty sure the cat visiting you in the garden is his. :-)

If you like history and an opportunity to immerse yourself in a grand house, Collon House is pefect. Michael is a consummate host, an astute and knowledgable historian, and a fanstastic conversationalist. Our room was well-appointed with antiques, and the full breakfast was delicious and served in a heap of tradition. Highly recommend!

Great airy, well-furnished historic rooms. Lovely gardens. Gracious and accommodating host. Breakfast could not have been better; served in early 19th century setting.

I usually do not write reviews but felt this place neededa review. Some travelers will love it but most will not. If you like historic period places you will really enjoy it. If you like B&B you will like it. If you are looking for modern conforts stay away. No air conditioning, the instant hot water is run through an undersized electric heater causing busts of hot and cold making a shower very difficult. It is very difficult to find the property ( a small overgrown plaque on the stone wall) and no reception area. The owner at first is off putting but once you get to know him is very nice. Remember you are in someone's home - their rules. To recap a great place if you want local culture and historic period arrangements but not for most. We enjoyed it.

Really lovely old house. Owner was very friendly. History of the place is amazing. Garden class. I would highly recommend.

The rooms are exquisite with many objets d'art, antique furniture and quirky features. We were grateful for no television or phone. The bed was comfortable with an electric blanket. Spotlessly clean. The house has been lovingly restored. Breakfast was served in the magnificent dining room. It felt like being in Downtown Abbey .

Beautiful 18th-century country house. The room was beautifully decorated with 18th-century furniture and paintings. John our host, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We were only there one night, but it was lovely.
