    Very little to dislike - unless you want to be in the middle of hustle and bustle of city life, this is the place for you.

    Enjoyable stay in very well presented accommodation on a working farm. Comfortable, clean, plenty of space and very welcoming host. Tastefully decorated, modern accommodation that is dog friendly. Alot of added touches such as bread, milk etc which was very thoughtful and kind - thanks Mike!

    The house was so clean, cosy & comfortable. The bunk beds went down a treat with the kids. Super location to explore Kilkenny city. Mike was there to greet us when we arrived. Treats & the essentials like bread & milk were left for us, a lovely token. We woke up to snow on the first morning, it was magical. I’d definitely recommend Knockreagh Farm Cottages. Thanks Mike.

    It didnt have a small back yard for the dogs....but a very minor issue.

    The photos on the booking.com do not do the houses justice. They are beautifully renovated with high spec furniture and 5 Star bedding. When we arrived the house had been decorated for Chritmsa with a tree and all. They also left us a very nice Christmas hamper together with A box of chocolates ande a bottle each of red and white wine. In the fridge there was milk and orange juice, n the presses there wwas tin foil, washing powder, cleaning materials and diswasher tabs. We have travelled to a LOT of self catering in Ireland over the last twenty years and never received this kind of welcome. The host Mike is extremely friendly and helpful. They have great plans to continue the improvements and it will be a fabulous spot when they finish. Cinema, games room a bar etc. Although it says one dog allowed I contacted Mike and he allowed me bring my two dogs.

    Nothing

    The cottages at Knockreagh are all brand new with gorgeous interior design and every comfort you could wish for. Brilliantly kitted out - the one we were in even had throws on the sofas, candles and tasteful Christmas decorations. It was super warm and cosy. This is probably the best self catering we’ve ever stayed in. Mike was super welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. A great location between Callan and Kilkenny but also on a working farm. It would be amazing in the summer too with the outdoor seating and BBQ. We loved it.

    Some of the pillows were too thick and too hard for our taste. On the second morning, there was a bit of an odour from the drains.

    The cottage is very spacious, and very well appointed. The heat was appreciated, especially since the weather wasn't great! Mike had an excellent welcome pack ready for us on arrival. There were two friendly dogs on the farm.

    The "only" suggestion I'd have is maybe a blind or curtain on the patio door. It wasn't a major issue and didn't bother me, it was my girls who were a bit wary of the dark

    Everything! It was a last minute decision to take a weekend break, I only booked the same morning. The cottages are all beautiful. Ours did not have an upstairs but it was so cute and cosy and sleeps 8, possibly 9 if you used the huge reclining sofa. It had a bath and separate shower. A utility area including a washing machine and a dryer. Mike who is the host came out to meet us, he is a very friendly man and sent a couple of texts to say if we neeed anything during our stay just to ring/text him and again on the morning we were leaving I received a text to say there was no rush to leave, take our time. He is the type of host every accommodation should have. They could not have done more for us, they even supplied food for us, essentials such as; milk, butter, cheese, ham, bread, biscuits, juice and even wine ❤ I wasn't sure whether to restock due to COVID but in hind sight I regret now that I didn't. It was most definitely a home away from home I imagine the experience of staying on a farm and beautiful cottages will be a huge hit with American travellers. I could go on and on but I'd be here forever. Please book for yourself, you will not be disappointed. I'll definitely be back

    Nothing - everything was great. There was nothing to dislike. A great stay altogether.

    From start to finish, this was an incredible stay. Mike is a superb host, from the moment we booked to the moment we left it it was a pleasure. A lovely welcome basket was awaiting us with ham, cheese, milk, bread, butter, wine and fruit - a superb touch. The property was spotless and more than well equipped, plenty of room, exceptionally comfortable beds. A washer and drier (with detergent!) a dishwasher (with tablets). High Speed internet and a really superb large screen HD television. Every need was catered for and the location is a dream and only a 15 min drive to the centre of Kilkenny city (if you choose to stay for a few drinks in Kilkenny city, a taxi is only around €26/27) We will 100% come back, this is a real gem.

    There was very little to not like about our stay at Knockreagh Farm Cottages.

    The cottage we stayed in was beautiful, the finish was top class and was so comfortable. Mike and his family made us so welcome and helped made our stay so special. Being a Pet Friendly was one of the reasons we picked Knockreagh Farm Cottages and it turned out to be a super holiday for our dog too, she met the resident dogs and the other holiday makers dogs and had such a great time too. The facilities were great, cooking was great, WiFi was great, bathroom was great, beds were great and comfy. TV was great. What more can I say?

    There wasn't a thing we could fault

    Beautiful cottage, finished to an exceptional standard, modern but with an old style feel. The 2 bed cottage we had slept 2 adults, 1 teenager and 3 children comfortably. We brought our German Shepherd as well and she loved the freedom to run around. Plenty to do in the area with Children, nearest town 4 mins drive. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. 100% reccomend a stay here.

    Nothing, we absolutely loved our staycation!..

    Absolutely everything. It was like a home away from home. When we arrived there was bread, milk etc there to get us started which was very much appreciated. The cottage was decorated really tastefully with the space available really well utilised. There was a smart TV which was a bonus and went down really well with our 5yr old. The location was very peaceful and great to explore Kilkenny as nowhere was that far. We will definitely be back again and would recommend staying here to anyone.

    Possibly need to secure the gate at the access to the farmyard as it's easy for a little one to slip in!

    Very nice little find! Great spot for family, especially with little ones. About 15 mins from Kilkenny city by car. Property had anything we needed, little things like salt/pepper/mayo etc. Didn't get around to using the hottub/sauna/bar but they looked good!
