This apartment served our family of four (with two kids aged 9 and 11) quite well for a three night stay at the end of June. It is spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the communication from Marianne was prompt, clear, and thorough. Our kids absolutely loved the easy access to the playground (it is not within sight, but is just around the back of the building). We did also use the Mount Juliet pool, but be forewarned that the cost is 15 Euro per person for apartment guests. We made day trips to Kilkenny (20 minutes) and Tramore/Copper Coast (40 minutes +). We were onsite during the set-up for the Irish Open, so we didn't end up hanging around the Mount Juliet grounds as much as we thought we would, but it seemed lovely. My husband felt that the floors could have used a solid dusting, and the kitchen was short on some basics, but other than those minor complaints, it was as we expected. Many thanks to Marianne for sharing her home.
