I didn't meet Eamonn but was greeted by Jan who was extremely nice and helpful with making me feel very welcome and situated. She gave me tons of info. and directions to everything I might have wanted to see. The room was perfect with an en suite bathroom. A cute little kitchen was just next to my room for all the rooms to share. There is a seperate entrance so you don't have to go through the pub if yu don't want to. Great location. Right across from the train station and right in town too for walking everwhere!! Loved it!! Kilkenny is a great town too.
