Set within 1.6 km of Kilkenny Castle and 4.5 km of Kilkenny Railway Station in Kilkenny, Laragh House B&B provides accommodation with seating area. This guest house offers free private parking, luggage storage space and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. Helen was the perfect host. She met me on arrival and welcomed me to the beautiful and spotless bed and breakfast hotel. I was going to a funeral the next day and Helen organised all the taxis and even ironed my shirt and trousers on the day of the funeral. The irish breakfast used quality bacon, and sausages and tea was in abundance The room was so good I did a video to show my brother and we will definitely be staying again.

Offering free WiFi and inner courtyard views, Kilmore Guesthouse is an accommodation situated right in the heart of Kilkenny, just 1.1 km from Kilkenny Railway Station and 1 km from Kilkenny Castle. It is located 19 km from Mount Juliet Golf Club and features private check-in and check-out. Outdoor furniture is available for guests to relax or dine outside. Great location within walking distance of the city center, restaurants, pubs, and the castle. The room and bathroom were clean. There’s a small fridge in the room, and we even found a few breakfast items inside — a nice touch! Also, a big plus for the parking space behind the building.
