What a spectacular spot--and what a fabulous house! We absolutely loved soaking up the beauty of the hills and hedgerows, as well as learning about the history of the house itself. (Make sure to take your morning tea or coffee and walk farther down the lane in the morning; you'll be immersed in the most gorgeous birdsong ever!)
We stayed in the Old Schoolhouse Cottage during the first leg of our trip to Ireland with our adult daughter. The house was absolutely perfect for the three of us, and its proximity to Kilkenny, Thomastown, and Inistioge made me wish we had a week or more instead of three nights!
Lorraine, our host, was perfectly lovely and made a point of coming by to meet us. We had a great visit with her and appreciated all her suggestions for things to see and do in the area.
Staying in the Old Schoolhouse Cottage offers you the opportunity to reap the benefits of the gorgeous Irish countryside, while also exploring some of the most historic communities, buildings, and sites in the country. You should definitely stay for at least a few nights!
