"Pros: 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." ~Heather
