“Wonderful place, great view”

We stayed 1 night at Hill House in Cashel and wished we could have stayed longer. Carmel was such a great host, telling us places to eat and information about the town and just making us feel welcome. Breakfast was great, the fruit pancakes (recommended on TA) were wonderful!
The view to Rock of Cashel was wonderful especially at night when it is lit up. Our room was large with a four poster bed and a view to the Rock of Cashel. The shower was the best one we had in Ireland, great water pressure and lots of hot water! The free Wi-Fi was a huge plus!
The location is within walking distance to town but it is a good uphill walk back to Hill House. We enjoyed out stay very much!

Georgian House with spectacular view of Cashel Cathederal located on Cashel Rock. Town center within walking distance, no parking woes.

Elegant sitting room with a timber and peat fire in the evening. Reliable internet connection for music and mail. Customized breakfast.

This is the location to stay for several days and enjoy.

“Luck of the Irish brought us to Hill House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2009

person found this review helpful

A spur of the moment decision brought us to Cashel. A quick stop at the Visitor Center resulted in us taking a walk "up the hill to the level of the Rock" to have a look at Hill House. After just a few minutes of chatting with the lovely hostess Carmel we knew we had found a jewel on the hill.
Carmel shared with us the history of the house. How she and her family refurbished this incredible house "one room at a time" to its present exquisite condition. Each room was impeccably decorated and immaculate. The spacious gardens were finely manicured and the breakfast was wonderful. The icing on the cake was the breathtaking view of the Rock of Cashel from our upstairs bedroom windows.
Carmel made us feel welcomed and much appreciated our business.
Hope to return again someday. The area was quaint and full of incredible history.

“Phenomenal Stay in Cashel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2009

Carmel Purcell the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very comfortable and were done beautifully to match the Georgian style of the house. We woke to a lovely breakfast, which had choices of smoked salmon, full Irish breakfast (to name a few) and included fresh baked bread, fresh fruit salad and freshly squeezed juice. We enjoyed the garden and it’s view of the Rock (we used it as the backdrop for our Christmas Card photo). I would highly recommend Hill House for you stay.

“Sweet stay at the Hill House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2008

Our stay at the hill house was short and sweet. We were just passing through, so unfortunately we stayed just one night at this lovely Georgian mansion perched above Cashel but just a quick walk to town. There were four of us traveling together so we had two rooms, both furnished with antiques. One has the most amazingly high ceilings and a canopy over the head of the bed. The other room was enormous, with a four-poster bed and a striking view of the Rock of Cashel. There is an attractive sitting for guests and free wifi as well. Delicious breakfasts are served in a pretty dining room. The photos on the hotel web site are accurate. A previous poster mentioned the fruit pancakes and I agree, they were superb, and after a week's worth of full Irish breakfasts I was relieved to have a non-egg option. The B&B owner, Carmel, was quick with suggestions for nearby dining and very helpful and personable.
