Poor experience at arrival. I rang the bells multiple times, no reply. I called, no answer. Just as we decided to leave and look for somewhere else to stay, the owner/manager came out. She said the bells were not ringing inside the property. Bathroom ridiculously small. Have never seen anything like it.

Host was friendly and helpful providing suggestions and directions to the area. Breakfast was great with lots of choices and tasty food. Area was quiet but only a 20minute walk to the town centre making it easy to explore the area. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks

We had bad luck with what we think was their worst room (#6). The bathroom was smaller than any cruise ship bathroom we've had. We worried about fire safety as the only window was a roof skylight. Host was friendly enough but not great. Overpriced for what we got. Breakfast was timely and good.

I wish we would have had more time

Everything was great. I did not realize this was a B and B when I originally booked this stay so to say it was perfect is an understatement. We arrived late after delays and 35 hours of travel and were welcomed with great hospitality.. The homemade breakfast was delicious and the bed was so comfortable. It is a short drive to all the things in Kilkenny. I would highly recommend.
