As two families of 8 in total (including 4 children), we had a fantastic week at Queenie's Lodge. This house is truly special and has been beautifully restored throughout. Bernie and Paul are great hosts; check in and out was straightforward and Bernie gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit locally. The handwritten welcome note along with wine, artisan brown bread and jams was such a lovely touch. Milk and butter in the fridge were also very welcome before we got to do a food shop!
The house itself is just simply stunning! Unique pieces of furniture throughout that have been sourced from the nearby woods give this house its edge. There are three bedrooms, each tastefully decorated. The kitchen/dining/living space is all open plan and is a wonderful area for totally relaxing and enjoying a meal together. Outside to the back there is a patio area complete with fire pit, bbq and pizza oven. We really enjoyed relaxing outside in the evenings! There is also a games room beside the house and a woodland walk. The children loved both and really enjoyed their daily chats with the dogs and cats!
Queenie's Lodge is the perfect space to get away from the bustle of everyday life, to truly unwind, and also is a great location to explore Kilkenny and the nearby counties of Waterford and Wexford. We would highly recommend it and we will definitely return!
