We would 100% recommend Ballybur Lodge to anyone looking to visit Kilkenny. The room and bathroom were absolutely beautiful, the bed was comfortable and the breakfasts were a definite highlight. Just a short drive into Kilkenny, but out of town enough to be able to relax in the country side. Imelda was more than accommodating in allowing us to check in early and gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant for dinner. Two beautiful little dogs too which helped us with missing our dogs at home. If we're ever back in Kilkenny we will definitely stay again.
