Hotel & Motel & Hostel in Kilkenny

“This place was a lovely surprise. The rooms were beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious and so well presented. We even got a great list of recommendations for places to visit in the area. Would love to stay again if we’re in the area. Thanks so much!”

“Great people to deal with. Very knowledgeable about not only the local market, but national. Would recommend.”

“We had a great stay here. Bred is so friendly and made sure we were comfortable. The property is beautiful, and there is a walking trail just at the end of the driveway. The breakfast was so abundant and yummy! Only advice: bring cash with you. Otherwise you will need to wire transfer money, which has been really challenging to do on my end. I wish we could’ve paid by credit card or at least made aware of preferred payment.”

“We love to take our tomcat here any time we go on vacation. He really seems to be enjoying his time here. I have no problem in recomending this place. Just wonderful. The owners seem to really love animals and taking care of them.”

“My first visit to the Hub, all I can say is 'brilliant'. Thanks to Jim and staff.”

“Just back from a 4 night stay on the camp site. Place is really nice spotlessly clean. Campers kitchen has everything you need. Ken was brilliant. Couldn't do enough to help.”

“The Brandon View was such a lovely experience, with a gorgeous setting to match. Helen is truly amazing at what she does. You are immediately greeted with a friendly, warm welcome by Helen and her gorgeous dogs. You feel right at ease. My room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The electric blankets were also a nice touch as someone who loves to climb into a toasty bed. It was lovely to have biscuits and tea, and chilled water just outside your room. Breakfast was a delicious feast for sure. Brandon View is a lovely little oasis, surrounded by green meadows and farmland.”

“Irish hospitality at its very best Perfect location, tranquil setting. John and Angela are the perfect hosts. We were welcomed with tea or coffee and cake. We felt at home. Our room was large with a sleigh bed which was extremely comfortable and we had a wonderful sleep the room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was delicious I chose the full Irish. There was plenty to choose from for breakfast. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to Kilkenny. Thank you both for a wonderful stay in your beautiful home.”

“The host is fantastic. Mary was very helpful right from the moment I made a booking. The property is amazing, set back off the road up a lovely winding driveway. The room itself was way beyond expectations with great views over the countryside. The breakfast is great with a great selection to choose from.”

“Just back from a nights stay at this fantastic accomodation. This is first rate. Clean, quite bathroom was super, beds so very comfortable. Little extras mean alot and they everywhere in this guesthouse. We drove in the 10 minutes to the Castle and got parking for €3:90 virtually all day & at night from 6pm to 2am parking free in town. Nore River House allowed us be part of the Kilkenny Arts Festival & this place is on my list to tell everyone ...”

“Welcoming hosts and cosy house. The room was bigger than expected but the bathroom a bit small. It was still correctly equipped. Better wifi in the shared room. We heard some snoring and door slamming from the other rooms. The breakfast was really good!”

“Just back after 2 nights stay. Hotel is just wonderful. Room we stayed in was magnificent. Breakfast was excellent. Staff very friendly and Courtious and very Professional. A Special mention to Freda Parsons one of the Receptionists who was so cheerful put anyone in Good form. Also the girl who served during the day in the hotel and gardens vey polite and friendly. This is our second time to be back and we intend visiting again in the future.l”

“Had a lovely time at the orchard spa this weekend. I had the back, neck and shoulder massage, I can't remember the name of the girl but she did a great job, I felt so relaxed and she made sure to check in with me that the pressure was OK. I could have fallen asleep after it, I was so relaxed. Staff are lovely, so friendly and accommodating. Relaxation room was bright and cosy. Tea and coffee offered and a water station. One of our group had a facial and was glowing for the rest of day! He enjoyed talking to the staff about skin care and what products were being used during his treatment. Great value, would definitely recommend.”

“Best travel agent in Ireland. Great cruise options along with amazing honeymoon ideas.”

“Amazing taste, all fresh.... the chef was so friendly... good experience to stop by on the way and enjoying the food”

“Beautiful spacious house beds very comfortable and the very nice and helpful”

“We returned to this fantastic country house for the fourth, maybe even fifth time on Friday 29 December 2017. The venue is fabulous and the grounds are nice and quiet. The beds are most comfortable to sleep in and the food in the morning is wonderful with plenty to choose from. The hosts couldn't be kinder or more accommodating to guests. Couldn't recommend this place more to anyone. Well worth a visit.”

“We had a great weekend after Covid restriction have been lifted ( June 2021 ) - Great location in nature, lovely garden with nice animals ( alpaca, peacock, rooster, goat...); clean, warm and comfortable rooms. Very friendly and supportive cottage owner. Highly recommended for Group of friends and families.”

“Beautiful location, beautiful room, very friendly and helpful host. great breakfast as well!”

“Really lovely place to stay in the heart of Kilkenny. It’s just 2-3 minutes from the main drag which is close enough for convenience and far enough to get a good nights sleep away from the revellers! Easy check-in, impeccably decorated with hotel-quality beds, linen and towels and lovely showers and bathrooms. As I’ve a young family we booked the apartment which has a small garden with fireplace and bbq - a beautiful, lazy and relaxing end to a full on day of exploring all the sites. Suffice to say the rooms come with usual mod cons like WiFi, fridge and tea making - with complimentary milk and sundries provided. Had such a great stay we’ve booked it again in August. No hesitation recommending this gem for people looking for hotel quality without the fuss or the price tag!”

“Birthday afternoon tea with friends was lovely. Setting was outstanding and ambience was wonderful. Staff incredibly helpful and accomodating and came to check on us at various intervals for more teas and coffees etc. Unfortunately I wasn't all that impressed with the actual afternoon tea itself, we had the festive menu. It had the finesse but I just felt it lacked a fair bit of flavour in some of the sweets and cakes and didn't really leave me feeling like I had tasted something incredible, which I would have expected from such a fabulous venue. One of the party had a yeast and dairy intolerance, a difficult two to combine, especially for an afternoon tea and although they were able to offer a prawn wrap and fresh fruit, or something from the lunch menu, this was also a real shame that they could not cater for her needs (when she had commented that she had been to other places that served something for her needs.) A shame, but that didn't dampen our afternoon.”

“Enjoyed our night in Kilkenny here. Very clean and simple rooms. Close walk to medieval mile. Appreciated dropping our car off so we could walk. Breakfast was a fabulous Irish breakfast.”
