Ideally set in Kilkenny, Butler House offers an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The room was lovely and big, bathroom was huge, down a few steps but no problem to us. We had asked for a room with a bath and they had no problem doing this. 3 of us in 1 room but they had 3 of everything. Breakfast was perfect and a really good selection. Staff were so nice.
