The Burgage Stud is such a beautiful place to stay… a working stud farm, busy with the work of breeding racehorses, set in the gorgeously lush surroundings of County Carlow, with ready access to local walks and gardens, as well as to Kilkenny and to many other locations in this wonderfully unspoilt part of Ireland.
The accommodation is set in the cobbled courtyard alongside the main house, and has been renovated and equipped to a luxurious spec. It is easy to find and there is ample parking.
Despite being so busy (it was foaling season when we stayed) both Elizabeth and Victor gave generously of their time to welcome us and to introduce to us the work of the farm and to share its history. Their kindness and attention added considerably to our enjoyment of this delightful part of the country, leaving us very keen to return.
We recommend a stay at the Burgage Stud unreservedly.
