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 hotel has private parking, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and check in was very smooth. We had three in our room; parents and one teenager. We were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served at your table by very professional staff. The room was amazing with a spectacular view of the perfectly groomed garden and Kilkenny Castle. The location made it easy to see all of the main sites within the townsite and is close to many great pubs and restaurants. A river walk is minutes away and there are plenty of quality shops. Highly recommend fish and chips at Matt the Millar's, just down the hill.

Seanie's guest house, a property with a bar, is situated in Tullaroan, 15 km from Kilkenny Castle, 31 km from Mount Juliet Golf Club, as well as 47 km from Carrigleade Golf Course. It is located 14 km from Kilkenny Railway Station and provides luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. Staying a Seanie’s was perfect, staff were gracious, accommodating and friendly! The rooms were so clean and very updated! We loved being able to go down stairs to the pub after a long day of sight seeing in Kilkenny and not having to worry about driving or walking far to get back to our room. Great place to stay if staying in Kilkenny is not an option, only a short 10 minute drive.
