We stayed one night just before leaving Ireland, coming down from Belfast. We didn't really get to spend much time in Collon, but the proprietor was super friendly, helpful in terms of tips (getting gas for the rental ahead of the airport for example) and gave us a great breakfast ahead of our travel day when it worked for us. The room was huge, too and the bed was cozy. It was a nice change after a week in hotels!
It is an 18th century Manor with superb gardens that are internationally recognized. Michael is a wonderful host and takes great care of his guests. We would certainly stay there again.
Staying here was an delightful experience. You are in a grand house that was built in 1740 and has been beautifully and lovingly restored. Michael is the proprietor and is very friendly and easy to talk to. The gardens are lovely and there are several restaurants within easy walking distance of this charming small town. Highly recommend.

A beautiful house and Michael was a fantastic host.
If one wants to be immersed in a historic house and intimate beautiful garden setting, Collon House will not disappoint. The host was gracious and welcoming, sending us off with an excellent full Irish breakfast. The location is perfect for exploring NewGrange and the Boyne River Valley.
The Collon House was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. It is an incredible property located in Collon, Ireland with an intriguing history. The owners were gracious and eager to share their home's history. The antiques were a compilation of 30 years of hunting and acquiring and were simply exceptional. The gardens were well-manicured and absolutely lovely. I had texted Micheal before we came and told him of my food allergies. He was so kind and made dinner reservations for us at an award-winning restaurant within walking distance from the house. No. 3 was incredible! The wine list was as big as a telephone book and with so many gf/df/Veg/V options I had more choices dining out than ever. Michael made me the most incredible gf/df breakfast I think I'd ever had the following morning and the presentation in the grand living room with elegant silver and china made us feel like royalty. We loved it! We will definitely go back. Plan a night in this little gem for sure.
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.

Collon retreat.
Really lovely old house. Owner was very friendly. History of the place is amazing. Garden class. I would highly recommend.
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.
One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. If you want to feel as if you are living in the 18th c but with the modern amenities of plumbing electric and heating, this is the place. The owner Michael was extraordinarily hospitable, even serving us tea in the splendid drawing room. It was a real treat to stay at Collin House.
Collin House has been restored to an incredible standard. Such a historic home and obviously well loved. We loved the stay and Michael couldn't have been more hospitable and helpful. When we are in the area again we will definitely be visiting again
