This was the first stop of our 2 week tour of Ireland. It was exactly as we expected with lovely hosts and an excellent selection of ciders. Beautifully quiet, in a rich landscape. It was a perfect retreat for us and our 5 year old son. It's a great base for Kilkenny and surrounding area with great road connections from Dublin. We'd happily have stayed there longer but we have so much to do in these two weeks. Thanks to Julie and Rod for a lovely time and the great recommendations.
