    I have been there with my family for only one night. The location is great: 15 minutes walk from the Kilkenny Castle, in a quiet area, and close to other facilities (supermarkets and take away). The room was big, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and well organised. The common area was very tidy and spacious. Breakfast was great and the owners were very friendly with us during all the stay. Highly recommended!

    Location is excellent for travellers using the train. The breakfast room is light and airy; well decorated. Plenty of choices for food. The hosts are so friendly and responsive to any queries you may have. Lovely people. Also quiet area at night except for some nice sounding cathedral bells.

    A wonderfully peaceful getaway after a tough day of sightseeing. Only minutes from town but far enough to feel you are in the countryside. Ger and Mary were wonderful hosts, room was excellent and breakfast was great!

    We spent 4 nights in this wonderful log cabin. Everything was exceptional. We didn't want for anything. Butter, milk, bacon, eggs, jam etc where made available to us. Plenty of shampoo and conditioner and lots of shower gel. Very peaceful and quiet.

    It wasn't busy, quiet night with little extraneous noise. The room in the Mansion House was lovely and breakfast was exceptional. The main restaurant was shut, so dinner was only 3 star. A very pleasant stay, I would go back.
