The location of The Old Alms in the picturesque village of Inistioge makes it a great base for exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside and towns such as Graignamanagh, Bennetsbridge, Thomastown and of course Kilkenny. We also loved the close proximity to walks along the river Nore, and through the adjoining woodlands of the beautiful Woodstock Gardens, literally on the doorstep! Patrick made us feel welcome in his home, with the minimum of house rules and he was responsive to queries and messages. He also has a great folder of tourist leaflets and information which we found very useful. The Old Alms has a cosy cottage feel with a good working kitchen, beautiful refurbished bathroom and a great wood burning stove. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay, made all the better by some amazing Autumn weather!
