Orla and John are very welcoming and accommodating, we didn't have a single issue while staying with them. The bathroom was always kept clean, the bedroom was a decent size for two people, and the beds were comfortable. If you're lucky, John will make some delicious scones which you can enjoy with fresh cream, butter, and perserves in the mornings. Tea and coffee are always available for you to make. Batman and Robin are incredibly sweet dogs! The house itself is about a 25-30 minute walk to the Medieval Mile but it's an easy walk and I enjoyed it as the weather was quite pleasant while we were there. Orla and John had excellent recommendations on where to go for either shopping, dining, or sightseeing/touristy things while in town. Overall very enjoyable stay with them while in Kilkenny.
