Noeleen's place is amazing. I was only in Kilkenny for one night and instantly regretted it once I stepped inside The Pumphouse. The locals I met there were among the warmest and friendliest people I met in Ireland (which is saying a lot), and I would have loved to spend a few more days there fully drinking in (pun intended) all Kilkenny has to offer. I wasn't expecting much from the room, but it completely knocked my socks off. It's one of the most unique accomodations I've ever seen, and the room was just what I needed: small space, comfortable bed. Whenever I return to Kilkenny, this will be the first place I visit.
