I booked Hemma Grove last minute and just for one night but it has left such a lasting impression. The farmhouse has been restored with extraordinary care and attention—every detail feels intentional, from the decor to the beautifully preserved character of the original building. Dee kindly accommodated our very late check-in on Friday night, which we were so grateful for. We had to leave early the next morning, but in that short time we were struck by how comfortable and calming the space is. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the large walk-in shower added a real sense of luxury. What stood out most was how the home honours those who lived there before—through carefully restored doors, artefacts, and design choices that feel respectful and considered. We were genuinely struck by the work that Dee and Billy have poured into this place. Everything has been thought of, and it shows. This is a place of great serenity, surrounded by trees and wildlife located beside Dee and Billy’s home. A very special place—one that needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated. Thanks so much.

An absolutely gorgeous little apartment with everything you need. The decor was beautiful and very well organised to make the most of the space. The bed was a so comfortable with a lovely soft throw for added comfort. There's even a patio with table and chairs for your morning coffee in the sunshine! Our dog loved it too. 🐶We would highly recommend the Cosy Nest! Perfect location in a very nice area of Kilkenny.

We arrived a day later than expected, and Mel was very accommodating about it. No problems at all about getting to and into the property. We liked that it was behind a key coded gate. Was very safe and lovely.

The room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast and dinner were really good also. It is a very family oriented hotel and as such was really busy with families and children. It did not bother us as we were away for a friends catch up but it may be off putting for a romantic break away!!

Really great hotel for families. Staff are so helpful and kind with the children. Had a really lovely stay and the kids had a ball. Great that the hotel has a family room with amenities to sterilise bottles etc, really helpful when travelling with a baby. Lovely pool, great outdoor area for kids. Little things like free face painting and free cookies and milk at night for kids, and a live musician in the evenings outside the bar really add to the hotel as a family friendly destination.

Child orientated hotel, decorated lovely for Christmas with a cosy atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly and lovely with children which was wonderful. Playground and farm onsite along with the family room was very useful especially with young kids.

Excellent hotel and facilities, brilliant for families as it has a pool and is the centre of town. there is lots to explore for families , and the hotel is just off the main street. the staff were amazing (especially Christine and Josephine) . The room was huge with bunk beds for the kids (room 102) I would highly recommend the Ormonde as a base for a family wanting to explore all Kilkenny has to offer.
