    The owner David was very accommodating & helpful. Rooms are sufficient for a couple nights stay just outside of central Kilkenny. We liked the quiet location with a short walk to all the restaurants & historical sites. Breakfast was good & served...

    It was in a quiet area, but close enough to walk to the downtown area David was very friendly, and helpful with suggestions of places to eat or visit

    The room as very clean and bonus that the beds had top sheets and there were washcloths in the bathroom. We had 3 people sharing but it didn't feel crowded. Beds were comfortable - loved the old fashioned room keys. The breakfast was delicious...

    The owner was wonderful! So very lovely to chat with. Dave obviously loves what he does and took extra good care of us. Upon hearing that one of our party had allergies, he and his wife bought special ingredients, and the breakfast was delicious!...
