This was our first B&B on our whirlwind tour of Ireland. We had a little trouble finding the place due to the fact that the GPS actually points to Maiden Hill Estates and not Maiden Hill. But it's in the same vicinity and we found our way without further trouble. We were greeted warmly and immediately shown to our room,... More

My wife and I recently enjoyed a most delightful stay at the Launard House in Kilkenny. We were greeted warmly by Graham, the co-owner. He was very helpful in suggesting pubs for us to visit in order to enjoy some traditional Irish music. He also served one fantastic traditional Irish breakfast, including the best porridge on the planet. He told... More

Not only did I manage to mess up the dates we were supposed to stay here and the owner had to book us in on the day we arrived we also turned up very late having driven halfway across Ireland. None of this fazed our host however, who could not have been more helpful. Sharon took time to recommend a... More

In July of 2012 I stayed in this B&B. Graham greeted us and was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and the shower pressure was good. I know several other people have said it was too far to walk into town but we walked into town both days we stayed there and were just fine. Would definitely stay... More

After staying in a hotel in Dublin for the first night this was our first B&B experience. Sharon met us at the door and immediately made us feel like part of the family. We arrived earlier than we had originally said we would and there was no problem. We took our time and as we brought in our luggage she... More

Very nice and comfortable B & B. Graham was an excellent host and breakfast was very good. Only problem is that it is really too far to walk into town, however the drive is only 5 minutes and it's easy to park in the central parking lot.

When we arrived at 4pm, the hosts acted frazzled-rushing us to our rooms and asking to choose our breakfast before we even put our luggage down or had a chance to look at the menu. The room was comfortable and clean. However, the location is far from town requiring us to drive and pay to park. No tea was offered... More

Graham was an accommodating host & served the best Eggs Benedict for breakfast! He was very friendly & knowledgeable. The rooms were large & comfortable, immaculately clean with good water pressure. Very nice properly!!
