We really loved our 2 night stay on the orchard. The cottage had a lot of space, was very clean, and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and I loved the huge shower (plus the towel warmer). of course the orchard itself is stunning as well (bring good shoes to explore). Host Julie was very kind and so helpful. She provided a map of Kilkenny and gave lots of local tips that really helped us efficiently see all the sites we wanted, and was able to find great food and local music. The orchard is really just a few minutes drive from the city center. Perfect location. Oh and they have the sweetest pup snaffles. I’ll definitely be coming back.
