We were appreciative of being able to check in early. Ailish & Martin were very kind, friendly & helpful on how to get to Kilkenny town. The bedroom & bathroom were clean and well kept. We had a delicious irish breakfast and they even accommodated one vegetarian request. Our one concern that we didn't know that the house smelled of underlying smoke. I like animals but allergic to them. I have asthma & needed to use my inhaler for the smoke & dogs. We only stayed one night and the next day our clothes smelled of smoke. Excluding that it was a pleasant stay.
