OMGosh John and Marie are fantastic! They are both educators and so our conversations were filled with history, politics, geneology, sports. It may have helped that we both have college-bound and career-bound kids in common. But no worries since John specializes in Adult Ed and Marie specializes in Child Ed; you will find they compliment one another in their enthusiasm and helpfulness. Even before we arrived Marie acted as travel consultant texting us closing times for Castle Kilkenny and whether we could tour the grounds after closing. Very close & easy walk to pubs and restaurants, for which John and Marie can offer specific recommendations. We parked in front of the house and were able to make ourselves hot tea/coffee at cafe table situated in its own little alcove inside our bedroom. Lots of natural light and pretty lace curtains. Out of the 6 Airbnb's we visited this one is the WINNER FOR BEST BREAKFAST ! A basket of freshly hard-boiled eggs, OJ, milk, 3 plates full of different scones & fruity /nutty /grainy breads,; fresh oranges, grapefruit, apples, grapes, etc. This was at the family's breakfast table, so there was another hot water kettle for coffee and tea there as well. Treated like royalty - perhaps it was good to have a hungry athlete-son like Nile living there to "pave the way" to a hearty breakfast feast. Thanks to all 3 of you for making us feel so welcome and worthy.
