The hotel has private parking, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and check in was very smooth. We had three in our room; parents and one teenager. We were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served at your table by very professional staff. The room was amazing with a spectacular view of the perfectly groomed garden and Kilkenny Castle. The location made it easy to see all of the main sites within the townsite and is close to many great pubs and restaurants. A river walk is minutes away and there are plenty of quality shops. Highly recommend fish and chips at Matt the Millar's, just down the hill.

    This bed and breakfast is lovely. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. Adequate parking for guests. Located just as you enter Kilkenny, right across from the castle grounds, so it is quiet but walking distance to attractions. The breakfast was excellent. Assorted cereals, fruit and yogurt and hot items to order. Would definitely stay again.
