Lovely stay, we were upgraded to a larger room at no extra cost as it was a quiet time of year! Very kind of them to do this. Beautiful grounds with many lovely walks nearby. Unfortunately we came early in the week and the hotel restaurant was closed until the weekend so unable to comment on the food. But a very clean comfortable stay in a wonderful little town!
Be sure to stop by Bowes for lunch and Bob’s for a pint. Fifty Seven is also a lovely local shop with some elegant women’s fashion! And Durrow Castle was just across the way, it was free to roam around the garden and explore the grounds. You will not regret a visit to Durrow!

I called the day previous to our stay explaining we were travelling from Mayo to the Bruce Springsteen Concert in Kilkenny and asked if we could drop our luggage on the way . The Receptionist was so nice and said that she would try to get us an early check in . We arrived at approximately 11.45 and the room was prepared and waiting for us . I think this was so exceptional and more than we had expected . This kindness makes your Hotel stand out and was very much appreciated . All of the staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful so a wonderful experience all told.

Lovely heritage town, well kept with some nice eateries and pubs. Some nice walks to be had. Our stay wasn’t long enough to see everything so we will be back again. We had excellent coffee and scones in the Gallic Kitchen. Next time we look forward to sampling lunches
The rooms are clean, beautiful, comfortable and well designed. The owners of Blackhill Woods are super welcoming and you feel right at home immediately! The gardens are the perfect place to sit and read a book, and the local town of Abbeyleix is only a 5 minute drive away. Breakfast is served to your room, with fresh fruit and gorgeous bread and yoghurt. I would highly recommend Blackhill to anyone.
Beautifully restored 300-year House full of history in the main street of Abbeyleix. A warm welcome from Ross and advice on where to go in the town for food. Our bedroom on the top floor was superb, full of old-world charm. The whole house is a walk back in time. Full kitchen available, and as there are only 5 rooms, it feels like you have the whole house to yourself. Can't wait to stay again.
The staff at the front desk were wonderful. We had a hiccup with the B & B that we had booked, and booked the last 2 rooms at your hotel, and were tired and frustrated when we arrived. The front desk agent (sorry cannot remember her name) was helpful, and when we came back down to ask for fans, she went looking for them herself, and delivered them to our rooms.
Blackhill Woods is situated in a wooded site a few minutes from the lovely town of Abbeyleix. The wooded area is organic .... carefully maintained without disturbing the natural growth very much. Yoga classes take place daily.
Breakfast served to the room is delicious. Simon is a wonderful host, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable but in no way intrusive.
We received a lovely warm welcome by all the staff. The food was delicious. Lovely to have breakfast cooked to order. Very homely and cosy hotel. Had a great night's sleep in comfy room.
Pollys and Platform 77 are a great addition for a nice coffee after a relaxed walk in Abbeyleix bog which starts at the grounds of the hotel.
Will definitely be back.
A wonderful, small, cozy hotel with its own kitchen and outdoor area. Clean rooms and interior are pleasantly impressive. Special thanks for cleanliness and order in the kitchen! Friendly host and staff. We were in this hotel for the first time, but now we know that we will return there again. Thank you for the atmosphere and an amazing rest!
The property was clean and tidy although the hotel could do with a refresh as the window in our room did not close properly so the noise level was high. The decor looks tired but overall very good. The staff were friendly and lovely with service/ food of an excellent standard.
Loved staying at Preston House. Preston House for me was the perfect refugee only a few blocks away from the beautiful center of Abbeyleix. Ross is an exceptional host, making his guests feel welcome
and at home. The building is stunning.
This is a gorgeous location and the bed, surroundings, and the proprietor are all incredibly inviting and very comfortable and relaxing! This may be the best place I've stayed in all of Ireland and certainly through Booking.com.
The hotel was useful as it was near our family. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The ongoing renovations were kind of a put off (painting in front entry) but the stay was suitable.
Location was great and it was so quiet in the woods- loved it . Breakfast was also brought to the room so it was a winner not having to go to ‘ a hotel restaurant’ type of thing. It was peaceful
Lovely House in a beautiful quiet location but just down the road from Abbeyleix which has amazing places to eat. Only a short stay but definitely recommend. Simon was a lovely host also. 🙏🏼
the breakfast was delicious the staff were so lovely and friendly, its a beautiful homely hotel, and we will definitely be staying there into the future when traveling to and from Dublin.
Beautiful house, ideal for a night in abbeyleix. Bramley and Morrissey's are a must visit also.
Ross is a great host and laid everything out very well for us. Will return
