Thanks to hosts Kevin and Joan for looking after us so well - the house is so roomy; modern and with everything you could ever need. Great destination for families; couples and groups. Had the feel of the countryside and the convenience of the town. Would highly recommend it. More

Kevin and Joan are lovely hosts who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to make our stay comfortable.

The views are spectacular and... More

It is very centerally located and were able to do day trips to Waterford, Cashel, Dublin, and several other southern Ireland cities. Very quick and easy... More

An Acreage 'outside' of Kilkenny, (off a round-about, feels like the country but you are still in city limits). A Little hard to find initially even using a GPS, mostly because Irish addresses are quite generic and list a road but not a specific house number. Just call Joan or Kevin when you arrive for clearer directions, then you see... More
