This place was great! I would highly recommend it. Just be aware, as of most of Ireland, no central air during the summer, but other than that it was perfect. So close to Kilkenny. I would stay again. :)

We stayed here for four days. The room was lovely, elegant and had ample space. The location is far from the city centre but the bus is easy to use and relatively close. If you like walking it's a nice 25 minute walk but there is not much to do around the hotel aside from the in hotel bar/restaurant. Wifi access was very inconsistent on both our own devices and the tv in the room which made being far from the city centre all the more inconvenient. It was however nice to end out day in a quiet and calm area.
