We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Clomantagh Castle, it is such a unique property. Our children had so much fun investigating all the nooks and crannies inside & outside the house, playing hide & seek here was far more interesting than at home.
The personal touches such as a vase of beautiful fresh cut lupins on the kitchen table & farm fresh eggs were much appreciated.
We did not miss the tv and spent the evenings with the fires lit playing board games after dinner.
There’s lots to see in the surrounding area, we spent one full day at Castlecomer Discovery Park, it was fantastic for all ages, I highly recommend this. We also spent a day in Kilkenny city and visited Kilkenny castle which has free entry at the moment being an OPW site. Another place we visited was Jenkinstown woods which is close enough to the house and has some nice walks, it’s a nice place to bring a picnic here.
The house has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, it was clean and the beds were comfortable, we definitely hope to return sometime in the future. Communication with Phyllida was perfect. I highly recommend a stay here to someone looking for somewhere special.
