You’ve just landed in Dublin. The last thing you want is to figure out a taxi rank or wrestle with an unfamiliar bus route. This private transfer takes care of all of that. Your chauffeur is already in the arrivals hall when you walk through, holding a name card so you spot them straight away. They’ve been tracking your flight, so if you’re delayed, the timing still works out.
The car is a Mercedes Benz E220 Executive Class - air-conditioned, comfortable, and set up for a relaxed journey. It fits up to 3 passengers with luggage. You get a full hour of complimentary waiting time from the moment your flight lands, so a slow bag carousel or a long passport queue won’t cost you anything. All fees, taxes and tolls are covered in the price, and the vehicle and chauffeur are fully licensed and insured under the Irish Government Transport Authority.
Collon House and Garden is about 55 km north of Dublin Airport, up through County Louth. It’s a lovely part of the country, and this is a far better way to arrive than stressing over directions on a motorway you’ve never driven.
This is a private transfer - your group only, door to door. The car accommodates up to 3 passengers with luggage (2 standard 20 kg suitcases plus 2 small cases). Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller, and the service suits all fitness levels. Conducted in English.
Build in a little buffer on the day. Dublin Airport can get busy, particularly at Terminal 1 during morning peaks. Your chauffeur will be tracking your flight, so you don’t need to worry about them - but if you’re collecting bags from the carousel, expect it to take 20 to 30 minutes after landing before you’re through arrivals.
Luggage to keep in mind. The E220 comfortably fits 2 standard 20 kg suitcases and 2 smaller bags. If you’re travelling with more than that, let the operator know in advance so they can arrange a larger vehicle. It’s much easier to sort before you go than to discover the boot is full on the day.
The road to Collon is a good one. You’ll head north on the M1 and then come off towards Collon through quiet County Louth countryside. It’s typically around 55 to 65 minutes depending on traffic. Your chauffeur knows the route well, so you can look out the window rather than watch Google Maps.
County Louth is worth a slow look. If you have time before or after your visit to Collon House, the nearby town of Drogheda has the Millmount Museum and some impressive medieval walls. The coastal village of Clogherhead is a short drive away and worth it for the views.
