This is a wonderful place to stay while in Kilkenney. The home is beautiful and the rooms are quite spacious. Katherine really makes you feel welcome and is a wonderful consultant for things to do and see. The home is walking distance to the center of town and Katherine's breakfast is the best. Be sure to stay at Mena House... More

The hostess is very friendly, helpful with restaurant recommendations, maintains a fantastic B&B and serves a wonderful breakfast. It is conveniently located, yet still quiet. We had a very nice room on the first floor (hooray! ho stairs with luggage) which was quite roomy, and had wifi. More

Mena House was very comfortable and private and conveniently located within ten minutes of walking to Kilkenney. The proprietor was wonderful, Ms. Molloy went out of her way to ensure an enjoyable experience for all of her guests. More

Catherine Molloy, the owner of this B&B couldn't have been nicer via phone or in person. The home is located within a 15 minute walk into Kilkenny center, albeit part of it on the main roadway into town. The breakfast was the best on our 12-day trip, beginning with fresh assortment of berries from her garden! Wow & yum! Home... More

Mena was by far and away the best B&B I stayed at during my 7 day trip to Ireland. The hostess was SUPERB!! The room was fantastic - my bathroom was the biggest one I experience during my stay (that includes 5 other accommodations). Breakfast was outstanding, she created mine based on my unusual diet. This was amazing. It would... More

Mena house is 10 minute walk from all of the things to see and do in Kilkenny. Catherine's B&B feels like a home. You feel like Catherine is sharing her home with you. Nothing is fancy, overdone, contrived or staged, it is just a well lived in comfortable home. That's what we were hoping to experience. We wanted real Irish... More

We stayed at several B&Bs during our time in Ireland and this was the one that we compared all of the others against. The location is great to park your car and take a short walk to great pubs and shopping. The highlight of our stay was meeting Katherine. She made us feel welcome, comfortable and answered all of our... More
