We cannot speak highly enough about our stay in the Alder Cabin! Donna is an excellent host in so many ways. Not only was the cabin immaculate and tastefully designed, it was very close to all the must-see spots of Kilkenny, but had the feel of a secluded country oasis. There is a swimming hole directly across the road for those brave enough to jump into the chilly waters. Donna left us a healthy & fresh breakfast, complete with eggs, yogurt, berries, butter, and Irish soda bread! The bed and living room furniture was VERY comfortable - the classy, fresh linens and blankets (and fireplace, if needed) made it cozy. We felt truly at home with all the amenities and genuinely regretted our departure. Donna was so welcoming and kind, we felt like we had known her for years! If you need a place to stay in Kilkenny, the Alder Cabin is where you should be!
