BOOK THIS RIGHT NOW! This is an absolute must do if you're anywhere near Kilkenny. Julie and Rod are friendly geniuses. The space is directly across from their personal home and is where their children would stay when they were younger. Now the Calder-Potts' have made it possible for others to enjoy their children's amazing place.
This is no "play-place" though. There is a full kitchen (dishwater, stove, oven, sink, fridge, pots, pans, cups), 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms (2 single beds/1 double bed), a living area that is fully furnished, heated floors (if requested), AND they stocked the fridge with sample bottles of their own organic apple cider and apple juice. They also let us tag along the tour of their farm/orchard/distillery that they had scheduled for the next day!
It was an experience, not just an overnight stay. I was traveling with my mother and my aunt. We all agreed that if we would've know about Highland earlier, we would've stayed as long as possible. We did not expect to walk out of our AirBnB with a raised level of consumer awareness, cider, and gin, but we are so very glad that we did! Thank you to Julie and Rod for being such incredible hosts and even better people!
*The only stipulation to the space is that you stay away from the upstairs portion of the building. It is a private area that the family asks be left alone.
