The house in the Paddocks at Mount Juliet estate offered as a great base for some mid term family time. A very comfortable and charming house with the facilities of Mount Juliet close by to enjoy. We experienced the glass blowing at Jerpoint which was a novelty and interesting. A few hours in Kilkenny city taking in the the medieval sites, St. Mary’s Medieval museum is fantastic and some fine food at Zuni. A fine breakfast in Rosemary tree Cafe in sleepy Thomastown to set us up for some fun in Castlecomer Adventure Park on way home. Great few days in Kilkenny.
