The property was clean, and the location was ideal—just a quick five-minute drive to downtown. We loved having access to the hiking trails right on the property. The breakfast was delicious, and learning about the estate’s fascinating history was a real highlight. I highly recommend this place to families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

The room was lovely, and the staff were great. When we arrived, two beautiful dogs were waiting at the hotel door. It was therapeutic after a long day of travelling overseas. The hotel is beautiful, and I especially enjoyed having a drink or two at Tupper's Bar. Will be staying here again the next time I'm in Kilkenny.
