    The breakfast was a buffet style and the staff were very welcoming at the reception and during breakfast. The room was spacious but it was chilly. There's nowhere to control the temperature of the room so if it was dead middle of the winter, I can't imagine how cold the room would have been. The location was across Kilkenny castle, lovely view from the breakfast room. Walkable distance to the village centre. Lovely staff and were very accommodating.

She was great at helping me get some last-minute travel-changes sorted out; had excellent advice on what to see and do in the village with limited time: and her food was delicious! Thank you Eaimer!

    Check in was easy and Mags was very helpful. The fact that a good Guinness was on tap in minutes after getting settled in didn’t hurt. The pub atmosphere was typical small village with several locals. We got to chatting with one of them, he was quite friendly and helpful. The owner, Jim Burke, was helpful in recommending dinner locations for both nights. If you love Portuguese food he can tell you where to get a great meal!
