Stopped here for some grub on the way home to Cork for Christmas, partners first time in Ireland. Really wanted to show her the Castle, stayed in the Kilford years ago with a Stag do and knew the location was perfect for a feed and easy parking. Real Irish pub feel so she loved it!

Really enjoyed our trip to Kilkenny, family of 3... weather wasn’t great but we managed to visit all the recommended tourist attractions especially loved trip to Smithwicks Brewery as I’m a hospitality head myself! The Kilford Arms was in an ideal location we could access all attractions by foot and really embrace the atmosphere of the town felt very safe and the front desk were very helpful for information, breakfast was a 10/10 we filled up for the day really good value would highly recommend, hoping to return to Ireland and hopefully the Kilford Arms when things are looking up in the world!
