Wunderbare Unterkunft, ruhig und schön

Die Unterkunft hat eine hervorragende Ausstattung, ist gemütlich und modern eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich sehr wohl dort. Es war bei unserer 14-tägigen Irlandrundreise die beste Unterkunft gewesen. Sehr gutes Preis-Leitungs-Verhältnis. Leider liegt die Untzerkunft 12 km außerhalb von Kilkenny. In Kilkenny kann man aber sehr gut parken, sodass die kleine Anfahrt lohnt, möchte man in einer schönen Unzerkunft mit tollem Frühstück schlafen. Wir würden es auf jeden Fall wieder so machen, dass wir die Qualität der Unterkunft der Lage in der Stadt vorziehen.

Avons trouvé le B&B surtout grâce au panneau en bordure du terrain; en fait, l'adresse postale n'aide pas beaucoup. un plus serait de précider les coordonnées GPS.

Wohlfühlaufenthalt

Wunderschönes Haus mit toller Gartenanlage. Von unserer Irish-Mam wurden wir rundum perfekt betreut, Reichhaltiges Frühstück mit frischem Fruchtsalat. Sogar das Bett war nach unserem Pubbesuch bereits mit Heizdecke gewärmt. Viele interessante Infos für unseren Aufenthalt in dieser Gegend und unsere Weiterreise.

Beautiful landscaped grounds and great hospitality

Elizabeth set the bar very high for our Irish B&B excursion through Ireland. She has made her home and grounds into a garden paradise and offers great advice. She helped us rearrange our travel plans to minimize backtracking and told us helpful things like which direction to travel the Ring of Kerry so we'd be on the inside lane. Our breakfast was delicious and had fabulous options like fresh caught salmon.

Beautiful hotel, large room, amazing hostess!

LOVED our stay at this beautiful B&B. We got lost coming from Belfast and arrived quite late. Elizabeth greeted us so warmly and even offered to drive us to town to eat, since she knew I was very tired. The room was large, very homey, quite lovely! Elizabeth said she considered her guests as her children and treated us as such! Absolutely one of the kindest, warmest people we had ever met! She was incredibly friendly and helpful...even helped us map out the rest of our travels in Ireland and gave us very helpful suggestions as to what to do and quickest ways to get places...hadn't planned to tour Gap of Dunloe and loved it! Tip on taking the ferry in Kerry saved us 2 hours! Told us the best place to shop for local pottery and I nearly bought out the store! Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! Although our least expensive hotel during our trip, it had the very best service and most beautiful place to stay! Thanks so much, Elizabeth...you're the best! : )

Best hostess!

This was a great find. The Inn keeper went out of her way to make us feel welcomed. She knew we had been driving for hours and we're frazzled, so she offered to drive us to the local restaurant and pick us up. We exchanged lots of funny tales. We loved Elizabeth! Our best b&b this vacation.

Beautiful Farmhouse B&B

This is a great place to spend a day or two. Elizabeth is the most gracious host. We misread the checkin time on our booking sheet, probably due to one too many pints in Kilkenny.....and showed up at 1015 at night after being lost for hours ( our fault ) and Elizabeth was super about it. Clean and bright room and an excellent breakfast to start the day.
