Julie and Rod were very welcoming and friendly. Despite being busy with other activities in the orchard, they were always available to answer any questions and have a chat. The orchard is a lovely spot to spend a few days relaxing and we went for several walks through the orchard which in the sunshine felt more like the south of France than in Ireland! It was also very convenient for Kilkenny City, 10 mins drive. the apartment has everything you need, fully stocked kitchen and plenty of space to chill and they even left some complementary items for us like bread, milk, coffee/tea and a sample of their cider made on the orchard. thanks.
