This is one of the most unique and special places to stay in all of Ireland—maybe the world. My family and I won’t soon forget our stay there. John was great at telling us everything we needed to know—the light switches were a bit confusing at times, but we sorted it out. And John’s lovely mother came by to check on us and to see if we had settled in OK. The castle had everything we needed, but was a bit outside of Kilkenny on some very narrow roads, so be prepared with anything you need—it may be a challenge to get it once you’ve arrived.
