Beautifully kept mansion. Ultra friendly owner (Ross), who went out of his way to make us feel welcomed. Massive kitchen with free make-it-yourself breakfast. Lovely garden, also ideal for the dogs.
Massive rooms with comfy beds.
Felt like home.
Congratulations to the owner Ross, you really made our stay truly pleasant.
We will be back.

Fabulous spot, tucked away amidst old oaks and beeches just outside Abbeyleix. Simon and Eilish are perfect hosts, and the whole property exudes a peaceful and powerful energy. A great spot to unwind, contemplate, and mix. Lovely fresh, healthy breakfast in the morning in my room. Take time to walk the grounds and experience the energy of the ancient navel. Highly recommend.

Lovely heritage town, well kept with some nice eateries and pubs. Some nice walks to be had. Our stay wasn’t long enough to see everything so we will be back again. We had excellent coffee and scones in the Gallic Kitchen. Next time we look forward to sampling lunches
The rooms are clean, beautiful, comfortable and well designed. The owners of Blackhill Woods are super welcoming and you feel right at home immediately! The gardens are the perfect place to sit and read a book, and the local town of Abbeyleix is only a 5 minute drive away. Breakfast is served to your room, with fresh fruit and gorgeous bread and yoghurt. I would highly recommend Blackhill to anyone.
Beautifully restored 300-year House full of history in the main street of Abbeyleix. A warm welcome from Ross and advice on where to go in the town for food. Our bedroom on the top floor was superb, full of old-world charm. The whole house is a walk back in time. Full kitchen available, and as there are only 5 rooms, it feels like you have the whole house to yourself. Can't wait to stay again.
Blackhill Woods is situated in a wooded site a few minutes from the lovely town of Abbeyleix. The wooded area is organic .... carefully maintained without disturbing the natural growth very much. Yoga classes take place daily.
Breakfast served to the room is delicious. Simon is a wonderful host, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable but in no way intrusive.
A wonderful, small, cozy hotel with its own kitchen and outdoor area. Clean rooms and interior are pleasantly impressive. Special thanks for cleanliness and order in the kitchen! Friendly host and staff. We were in this hotel for the first time, but now we know that we will return there again. Thank you for the atmosphere and an amazing rest!
Loved staying at Preston House. Preston House for me was the perfect refugee only a few blocks away from the beautiful center of Abbeyleix. Ross is an exceptional host, making his guests feel welcome
and at home. The building is stunning.
Situation was very good.
Quiet.I
Bedroom was on upper floor and was hot.
Excellent value for money.
Wonderful to be able to walk directly from hotel carpark to the stunning nature reserve bog. Don’t miss a walk there esp good for insects.
I liked everthing about Abbeyleix...that is why I booked a break there in former visits. Staff are exceptional, gracious, friendly, efficient; property is clean and well maintained, with an open fire already glowing for early breakfast !
This is a gorgeous location and the bed, surroundings, and the proprietor are all incredibly inviting and very comfortable and relaxing! This may be the best place I've stayed in all of Ireland and certainly through Booking.com.
This hotel is a beautiful and quiet place surrounded by nature. The staff member that greeted us was very friendly. The room was very clean, and I loved the healthy breakfast. I woke up feeling refreshed after the stay.
The hotel was useful as it was near our family. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The ongoing renovations were kind of a put off (painting in front entry) but the stay was suitable.
Lovely House in a beautiful quiet location but just down the road from Abbeyleix which has amazing places to eat. Only a short stay but definitely recommend. Simon was a lovely host also. 🙏🏼
Beautiful house, ideal for a night in abbeyleix. Bramley and Morrissey's are a must visit also.
Ross is a great host and laid everything out very well for us. Will return
