“"QUALITY B&B" big comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2010

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in May 2010 having seen the reviews on Tripadvisor. We travel a lot and usually stay in B&Bs where we can and without any doubt this is one of the best, if not the best, we have ever stayed in. Phil and Rhoda are excellent hosts, the food is better than any hotel we have stayed in, a lot of it home made by themselves. I havn't recommended any previous B&B so believe me when I say this one is QUALITY, you will not be disappointed. It's about a 15 minute walk along the flat to the town centre and the B&B has ample parking for all. Thanks to Phil and Rhoda our holiday was made that little bit special.

“Search no more, stay here and you won't be dissapointed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2010

Fantastic stay. Phil is beyond compare and makes you feel at ease at once. The attention to details is evident with everything provided you may need to make your stay just right. Stayed at 5 different places in as many days and this once was the best. Facility is spotless and has the feel of your own house. Breakfast was a great made to order, fresh flowers on the table and again, great service. Less than 5 min from downtown with a host of restaurants to choose from, Phil can provide the direct you may need.

“Easy walk away from the city centre, great B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2010

Stayed on May 9th and 10th.

Rosquil House is currently the highest rated bed and breakfast in Kilkenny on TripAdvisor and after staying there for a couple of nights, I could easily see why. This is a b & b with hotel-like amenities, yet never without the warmth and hospitality of a traditional bed and breakfast. It is about 15 minutes away from the city centre on foot, in a quiet residential neighborhood. It is a pleasant, easy walk to the city centre and Rhoda gave us fantastic directions upon our arrival, along with recommended places to eat for dinner. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom had great water pressure, and the overall facility was just spotless. Breakfast was cooked to order - I had a very delicious smoked salmon omelette and my husband had the traditional Irish breakfast - and there was continental option as well so you could actually have both. We never felt so well-fed on our trip! I can't wait to come back to Kilkenny and when I do, I will be staying at Rosquil House again for sure.

“Nice B&B, would recommend to my family and friends”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2010

My husband and I just returned from our trip to Ireland. We spent one night at the Rosequil House and enjoyed our stay. Immediately upon arrival, our hostess had a multitude of maps and suggestions for us on how to spend our limited time (only one day!) in Kilkenny. She recommended some great restaurants as well as gave us some planning tips on how to drive (and where to stop on the way to) to our next destination.

The B&B is a bit of a walk into town (I did not realize this prior to booking), but certainly manageable, about 15 minutes. The room was clean and comfortable. We were in one of the front rooms of the house which are closer to the main road so there was a bit of road traffic noise throughout the night. Bathroom was large.

Breakfast was one of the best we had in Ireland. We ordered specialty omelets instead of the full (HUGE) Irish breakfast. Tasty.

We would definitely go back and recommend it!
