After several stays in youth hostels, we felt like royalty staying in such a lovely, large bedroom, with beautiful antiques and original paintings. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, both vary spacious. The bed mattress was comfortable and the linens were not only clean but ironed.
We hadn't realized what a "find" Andrew's place was, so very close to the entry of the castle in Kilkenny, and a sweet cafe (excellent coffee and fresh baked goods) only a couple of blocks from Andrew's house.
Andrew knows a good bit about local history and was happy to tell us about it.
