Four of us plus our small dog stayed in the cottage for a week in July. The cottage is beautiful , lovely kitchen and separate sitting room. We had our breakfast in the cottage courtyard and headed up to the castle courtyard cafe for coffee most mornings. Grest location for boat trip in kilkenny. We also did waterford greenway, it was a 75min drive but worth it. Would highly recommend Mimosa restaurant in Carlow . We had a lovely week in the cottage. Thanks Alex.
