Tubbrid castle was our Airbnb of choice for Xmas during our month long trip of Ireland, Scotland and England. John, following in his fathers footsteps has done a remarkable job of restoring the castle. It is everything you imagine about living in a castle with steep stairs , thick walls and large fireplaces yet is also welcoming and cosy. We could run into Kilkenny and freshwater easily enough the later being where we visited Farrell’s pub on Xmas eve and found friendly locals (with our surname being farrell we couldn’t not go and check it out) and then encountered deer on the windy lanes on the way home.
If you are sick of the run of the mill stay & want to find something special, do yourself a favour and experience Tubbrid.
