Find Hotels in Kilkenny County, Ireland

We, my niece and I, stayed at Barnawee Bridge house for two nights. Michelle was not there for our check in but her older son was friendly and efficient. We met Michelle the following morning for breakfast. Michelle, was a great host. My niece and I are dog lovers and she had two ADORABLE little dogs Peppa and Milly, that Michelle let us play with. They were so sweet and friendly. If you are not a dog lover, no worries...he dogs are trained and they were not in the dining area EVER and they were not in the way. We actually knew they were there and went looking or them. Michelle was knowledgeable, helpful and kind. The BandB was private and Michelle was interactive also. I felt that she could tell if people wanted to chat or if they wanted to be left alone. Breakfast was delicious, and she had so many options to choose from. One morning we ordered french toast, it is served with sryup if you like but she also makes HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH...absolutely delicious! She is also very willing to accommodate any dietary food restrictions. When we arrived, we walked down a greenway that stretched for 48kms (don't quote me on that), it was a really long greenway, you can walk that right into the quaint little town, Dunvargan. It is just down the road. We were also able to hop in the car and drive to Lissmore, a cute little town 20-25mins away. It had great little coffee shops and pubs. We toured the Lissmore Castle, it was 8Euros to get in and we were able to walk the gardens there...BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Michelle, you made our stay at Barnawee Bridge House so enjoyable! Forgot to mention, Michelle has a great sense of humour!

Pros: Kilkenny is a charming town northeast of Dublin. The main attractions is the multitude of churches, Kilkenny castle and cute town centre. My stay at the Langton's was great; the hosts were friendly and hospitable. My room was spacious and clean and on the main floor which was a relief as I was carrying lots of luggage! They quite a few options for breakfast so you won't be dissapointed! Cons: The only con which could also be considered a pro for some people was that it wasn't as central as I would have liked the B&B to be, it was a good 20 mins walk to the main area. However it didn't really effect my trip that badly and if you're driving this may be a good thing as the Langton's B&B it's easily accessible by highways. I had a wonderful stay at the Langton's and would recommend this to anyone interested in checking out Kilkenny.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a little further out from the center than we expected, but its a very reasonable in good weather. In not so good weather, always a possibility in Ireland, the hotel has a good deal with a local taxi firm. The only thing we found inconvenient was a lack of heading and hot water during the afternoon, which meant wee had to wait until after 4pm on our arrival to have showers. This is a clean, stylish and modern hotel, that doesn't sacrifice Irish charm and atmosphere. It doesn't caster to hen and stag parties, so would provide an excellent base for people looking for the more sedate side of Kilkenny.

We arrived after spending all day in Kilkenny. When we called about checkin Margaret (the lovely owner) recommended a restaurant in kilkenny near the castle we were visiting. We traveled around and then eventually went to the restarting where I had the best meal so far (and it wasn’t expensive!). Once we arrived at the B&B, Margaret explained where everything was and discussed breakfast in the morning. She has everything down to a T! Her setup and very inviting, organized, and makes for an overall comfortable stay. I slept very well (the property was extremely peaceful and quiet) and when we woke up I the morning she had tables ready for us to sit at. While we waited for our breakfast (she is the only cook) she had other small foods available for us to snack on while she cooked. She was so helpful and so sweet. She made our Ireland experience very warm and welcoming. She has a lovely B&B and is the best to talk with. She had great recommendations & helped us as with any questions.

Where do I start, we loved staying at Kilbawn Country House, Elizabeth was so understanding when we arrived and so helpful with places to see and do, the gardens are stunning, your own private little car park on the property for all tenants. Elizabeth couldn't do enough for you, and helped with preparing us for our trip home. The property was extremely clean and maintained, would highly recommend staying there if your looking for a peaceful place to stay.

My husband and I were only there one night in early November, but it was the best of our visit to Ireland. The room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. You couldn't ask for a better host than Eimer! She gave us great advice on what to see and do in Kilkenny (and Dublin, our next stop) and we enjoyed just talking with her. While the room was nice and quiet, it's an easy walk anywhere in town, including the train station. We would return tonight if we could, and highly recommend it.

Loved staying here! Best B&B my entire trip (too bad I stayed here at the beginning of my trip, would have been great to end my trip at this B&B). Great selection of food for breakfast - variety of bread, fruits, cereal, jam; Also have choice of hot Irish breakfast or omelets. Compared to the other B&Bs, this Irish breakfast was done well (such as very juicy sausages). You can tell they put effort to maintain this place; kept very clean - even seems like they vacuum/clean the curtains & blankets; compared to other places, don't want to touch either. And very, very friendly host w/great recommendations (must go to Foodworks!). Short drive to town center (or probably 20 in walk). Would stay here again!!

Great location, near transportation, in a quieter area but an easy walk to the main area of town. Wonderful staff, friendly and accomodating, even checked on me in the morning to make sure I was all set for a day trip I had planned. Nice to have the bar and entertainment available right downstairs, but didn't hear any noise in the room. Will stay again next time I visit beautiful Kilkenny.

i recommend this hotel to all who pass through this area the staff make guests feel welcome we where upgraded as it was a sspecial day for us. the linen was beautiful which made for a very comfortable rest. the breakfast was first class. upon departure the reception checked on our next destination and recommended the druid glen well done. terrific i recommend this hotel it lives up to its reputation one of the best on our holiday to Ireland.

This was the first B&B that my children (11yo twins) had ever experienced. Sadly they are very spoiled, mostly staying in 4 star or better hotels and the idea of staying in a bedroom in someone's home was unnerving. Well, they loved The Laurel's and were sorry to leave. You can easily walk to the central area of Kilkenny, but it is on a quiet side street so very pleasant. Owners were so warm - just a perfect stop on our drive across Ireland. Thank you!!!!

I was very pleased with Chaplin's. I arrived before check-in time, but was welcomed nonetheless. The proprietors and staff couldn't be more pleasant. My bed and pillow were super-comfortable. Even though my room faced a major artery (which in Kilkenny is not THAT major,) I was never aware of street noise - and slept like a baby. Breakfast was full Irish and delicious. There is a living room and a foyer for lounging, and where I was invited to hang out after check-out time. The walk to the center of the old town is advertised as 15-20 minutes; I found it to be more like 30. But it's not a bad walk in pleasant weather. You might want to consider walking in and cabbing back after a spell in the pubs. If you're arriving by bus from Dublin, the J. J. Kavanagh bus stops at the Newpark Hotel, just a block away from Chaplin's.

Including an old church in its premises, this guesthouse is part of a rambling complex of restaurants, nightclub and betting shop. The restaurant where breakfast is served looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. Note of caution to Italians and others who take their coffee seriously - the brown water they serve at breakfast at the Kilford Arms is so bad I had to ask two waiters whether it was tea or coffee. Neither was really sure so they made me a fresh pot (of instant) which I pretended was better. Stick to tea, it's the Irish way.

We had booked triple share accomodation, but request 3 separate beds. The staff but us up in an appartment suite which was a brillant multi-room apartment large enough to comfortably house 6 people. This would be a great location for anybody from golf enthusiast to families with young children or anybody who's looking for that quiet trip away from the city. Located on the bay it has wonderful views and great walking tracks.

The staff were friendly on arrival and the room was nice (smelt of smoke) but compared to other hotels in Ireland, it was over-priced. On arrival we were informed that there was a nightclub on the floor below our room so it might be noisy but only until 2.30am! The staff was right, people were partying in the hallways and under our room, so we got very little sleep. A 3am the fire alarms went off but staff didn't pay any attention and patrons of the hotel were waling around trying to work out what was going on. Maybe we just had a bad experience and the hotel normally isn't like this.
