We loved the warm welcome, the easy acces to the castle through their lovely garden. They had a charming athmosphere in the bar as well as during breakfast. All in all great experience with very warm staff.

We had the best time there, the staff is very welcoming. Homely and quiet room. Plus, it's so nice to be surrounded by noble wooden furniture, all the way from our room to JB's pub. Kilkenny is such a lovely and lively little town. It has a strong local pub culture in which we felt heartily welcomed, even though we had that strong tourist vibe !

A few steps away from the city center, parking included just behind the structure. The guesthouse is finely furnished and the host provides some complementarities, which is always appreciated. The bed was very comfy!

The rooms in this quaint house are very pretty- tasteful decor, warm, and welcoming. They aren't big but my single room was just right for me and my friend's double room worked for them as a couple. The bed was very comfortable and the setting was quiet. Coffee/tea pot tea/coffee was a nice touch. The owner was very responsive and check in is via door code so no need to meet up with them to get the key. Short walk into the center of town, so great location. Easy parking on site.
