We stayed for one night at Maries house. She was very welcoming and tried to make us feel comfortable. The house is an old but nice and cosy cottage with a lot of character. The bed was very good and our room was clean. The technical equipment (internet, computer, radio) was a little old. Marie was more than helpful and even gave us a lift to the next pub where we had a relaxing time. However you should have a car because the cottage is located a a few miles outside Kilkenny. You should also like animals because Marie has a wonderful dog (Ned) and some cats. So if you are looking for a traditional cottage, Marie might be the right choice for you.
